Yahoo Acquisitions

Headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, Yahoo was founded in 1995 by Jerry Yang and David Filo. The two graduate students from Stanford University created one of the most visited websites in the US with over 130 million visitors a month. Yahoo is known for their smart and fair acquisitions, hiring employees from the companies they acquire. Their acquisition record shows a slow but steady stream of possibilities which it will need in to compete with internet giants Google and Microsoft in the future.
