I interviewed at YikYak shortly before they released the feature that killed them. I actually got to talk to the CEO at some point. They discussed adding something personally identifying to fight bulling, which was a huge problem with YY at the time. I also asked how they planned to monetize, but honestly the response I got didn't seem very fleshed out or just not thought through very well.
Sucks because they actually had some very impressive engineering going on at the time, and I really wanted to absorb some knowledge from those guys, but unfortunately it didn't work out. YikYak shutdown less than a year after my interview.
