Yik Yak is a New York-based technology company operating a location-based social network that connects people in the area around them. The service allows users to share thoughts, express themselves, and explore their surroundings, with the aim of helping individuals feel at home within their local communities. The company is positioned in the technology, information and internet sector and operates with a mid-sized team. The platform traces its origins to a 2013 launch and has faced public criticism for harassment and other toxic discourse, including a shutdown in 2016. In 2022 the company was acquired by Sidechat, and the brand remains under that ownership. In February 2026, Yik Yak introduced Yak Match, a seasonal feature.
