Once upon a guide
Two Stanford engineering students, one big idea: make the internet make sense. What began as a humble directory of links became everyone’s gateway to the web and Yahoo.com was born. Not bad for ‘95.
Always under construction
The internet grew up, and Yahoo was there at every turn. We’ve created some of the web’s favorite brands, sparked iconic cultural moments and made a real difference in people’s daily lives. And we’re not looking back — we’re building what’s next.
The next wave
30 years later, people still rely on Yahoo to get things done online every day. The tools might change, but our mission stays the same: to be a trusted guide through the digital wilderness, helping people achieve their goals, big and small.
