"My mother would have said you needed a haircut. Congratulations on your new digs... I can tell you, my company never would have been remotely as successful if we hadn't started here. We couldn't have attracted all of the right people and the industries that we interface with. If you want the best and brightest, this is where you come. This is the intellectual capital of the world."

Yext allows businesses to keep up-to-date location data, and works with other search engines, directories and mapping devices to maintain the current information. The company often refers to their services as the next yellow pages, and has recently reached over 100,000 locations.
