Zofari is an app that enables users to create ‘place stations’ based on their favorite restaurants, cafes, and neighborhoods.
“While we’ve built an experience we couldn’t be more proud of, we’re a small company and have always dreamed of reaching users at a greater scale,” the Zofari team said. “After meeting some of the amazing folks on the Yahoo Search team and hearing about their vision, the decision to join was an easy one.”
