Yapmo

Yapmo, established in 2011 by co-founders Jason Pritzker and Paul Everton, operates as a mobile social business collaboration platform. The company originated in Chicago and secured $3.5 million in a single seed funding round on October 15, 2011, with Pritzker Group as the investor. Before creating Yapmo, Pritzker and Everton developed Visible Vote, a platform designed to connect constituents with their elected officials.

The core of Yapmo's business is providing a cloud-based enterprise social application that aims to replace internal email with a more structured and less noisy online community. It serves industries such as real estate, direct sales, financial services, IT sales, hospitality, and logistics. The business model centers on offering tailored collaboration tools that solve specific business communication challenges. Yapmo's platform integrates people, conversations, and workflows to streamline collaboration and reduce email overload. Revenue is generated by providing these specialized collaboration solutions to enterprises.

Yapmo's service is an enterprise social application that offers customized workspaces for different industries. A key feature is the creation of collaboration "loops" for specific projects, sales opportunities, or teams, which can include internal and external users. The platform supports personalized content delivery using hashtags, ensuring users only see information relevant to their roles and interests. It offers a consistent user experience across desktops, tablets, and smartphones and is fully API-driven for integration with other internal systems like CRM and accounting software. Another feature is its "Loop + Video" solution, which allows companies like Hyatt to create private video sharing platforms for training and internal communications, accessible on any device globally. This helps clients reduce server resources and improve employee engagement. For real estate clients like @properties, the platform has facilitated sales by enabling efficient in-house communication about listings before they go on the market.
