Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
We have a short operating history in an evolving industry, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not be successful.
We have a short operating history in an evolving industry that may not develop as expected, if at all. This short operating history makes it difficult to assess our future prospects. You should consider our business and prospects in light of the risks and difficulties we may encounter in this rapidly evolving industry. These risks and difficulties include our ability to, among other things:
Ÿ increase the number of users of our website and mobile app, the number of reviews and other content on our platform and our revenue;
Ÿ continue to earn and preserve a reputation for providing meaningful and reliable reviews of local businesses;
Ÿ effectively monetize our mobile app as usage continues to migrate toward mobile devices;
Ÿ manage, measure and demonstrate the effectiveness of our advertising solutions and attract and retain new advertising clients, many of which may only have limited or no online advertising experience;
Ÿ successfully compete with existing and future providers of other forms of offline and online advertising;
Ÿ successfully compete with other companies that are currently in, or may in the future enter, the business of providing information regarding local businesses;
Ÿ successfully expand our business in new and existing markets, both domestic and international;
Ÿ successfully develop and deploy new features and products;
Ÿ avoid interruptions or disruptions in our service or slower than expected load times;
Ÿ develop a scalable, high-performance technology infrastructure that can efficiently and reliably handle increased usage globally, as well as the deployment of new features and products;
Ÿ hire, integrate and retain talented sales and other personnel;
Ÿ effectively manage rapid growth in our sales force, personnel and operations; and
Ÿ effectively partner with other companies.
If the demand for information regarding local businesses does not develop as we expect, or if we fail to address the needs of this demand, our business will be harmed. We may not be able to successfully address these risks and difficulties or others, including those described elsewhere in these risk factors. Failure to adequately address these risks and difficulties could harm our business and cause our operating results to suffer.
