Yahoo was one of the pioneering internet companies, founded in 1994 by Jerry Yang and David Filo at Stanford University. Originally a web directory, Yahoo grew to become a major web portal offering search, email, news, finance, and other web services. At its peak in the early 2000s, Yahoo was one of the most visited websites globally and a major player in online advertising. However, the company struggled to compete with Google in search and Facebook in social media. Verizon acquired Yahoo's core internet operations in 2017 for $4.48 billion, later selling to Apollo Global Management.
