Hoppit is a personalized search engine. It was founded by Steven Dziedzic and Emad Saghir in 2011 and headquartered in New York, New York. It was acquired in 2013 and is now a part of XO Group, Inc.[1]

The company, whose mission is to personalize web content, in early 2012 launched "the world's 1st ambience search engine for restaurants,[2]" a website and iPhone mobile application that finds restaurants by the type of atmosphere (i.e. romantic, cozy, hipster).[3] It is often referred to as "Pandora for restaurants[4]" for its ability to generate search results based on a user's mood.[5]

Later in 2012, Hoppit launched its Android app and announced that it had generated its first million recommendations via the Hoppit platform.[6] In 2013, Hoppit's iPhone app alone generated three million recommendations.[7]
