Yo Headquarters: Employees only 1 person! Let me cry for a while!

Lead: Yo headquarters is not like other technology startups, the decoration of sophisticated, stylish, this just got $ 1.2 million financing company, there are only one founder orr Abel.

According to Techcruch's Web site, Yo, one of the most "wonderful" social apps in the history, has become so popular over the internet that it unexpectedly received $ 1.2 million in applications that could only send "Yo" apps. Yo has just moved to San Francisco's official "headquarters" to start operations. Techcruch Web site reporter Sarah Buhr made a field visit to Yo headquarters.

Equally surprising is that, unlike other tech start-ups, Yo headquarters is not as stylish and stylish as the newly hired company, which has just got $ 1.2 million in funding, and its so-called "headquarters" is just one in San Francisco's financial district Airbnb apartment for rent in the center, where there is only one founder Or Arbel (Or Arbel). Abel pays a daily $ 150 rent for this apartment. A lady who sublet his house did not know that it was actually Yo "headquarters." It is clear that Boolean is the first reporter to enter Yo headquarters.

Abel said: "This is where miracles come together." Abel showed Burr one of the new features he has just added to the app.

Into Abel apartment-style "headquarters", the bed was a mess, tables, chairs the same. A pile of untreated clothes was thrown over the chest of drawers, with a bottle of juice above the table. Abel looks very tired look, his beard face is a few days did not scratch. Abel said he has not had a good night's sleep before he moved in.

Boolean talking to Abel, the phone in the house rang constantly. Abel showed Burr the e-mail that he wrote to those venture capital firms interested in investing in Yo.

Although Yo applications are seen as the most boring application in history, Abel is confident about the future of the software.

"People hate it because it's a misunderstood application that has no text and is a new way to get notifications and communicate.You do not need to open anything and you do not need to move any tags." Abel Said.

It was also a week ago that Abel came to the United States and met with heavyweights. Now, he is also meeting with really influential people.

Abel's wife, Moses Hogg, is still involved in other project development in Israel. "I'm surprised, I'm the only one," Abelbey said blankly.

Abel said he released the app on the Apple App Store on April 1, a mere coincidence. Because too simple, Apple at the beginning rejected this application. They think this software is a semi-finished product.

Abel rolls his eyes when it comes to funny comic reviews that appear in the application. Almost every comment is full of satirical flavors such as "The software saves the president," "Yo Moments," and "I met my wife with Yo."

"It has not happened, it's not what we did on purpose." Abel said he feared people would think it was a marketing plan they had made. "People think we've got the money, but even we do not even know the software is going to be that fire," Abel said.

In just a week, Yo's users topped 1.2 million, ranking No. 1 in the App Store App Rankings, currently No. 9, but still number one in the Israeli charts. The software originated in Israel and took only eight hours to develop.

People like it or hate it, they all have their own reasons. Yo unveiled the open API for the app this week that developers can use to create "Yo" notifications for their websites. For example, when Boolean posts an article on the Techcruch website, he can send a "Yo" notification to the user. In addition, developers can add Yo buttons to share notifications from their site.

Abel is considering a hackathon this week, just type YOHACKATHON, and Abel will "Yo" when you post an update on his website. When asked if he would host the hacking marathon at Yo headquarters, Abel laughed and said: "Maybe."
