Yelp was severely impacted by "the shutdown". I'm surprised that they cannot capitalize on this data and start a hedge fund or similar -- or at least sell it to a hedge fund in exchange for keeping them afloat a while longer.
They can capitalize on the data (to varying degrees) and it would be a missed opportunity if they don't.
Knowing (quickly, thoroughly, and specifically) which businesses in a given industry/market/region are open, closed temp and closed for good is very valuable insights for a variety of service-based companies.
