Zofari is a mobile recommendation app that bills itself as a "Pandora for places," using a place you love to generate suggestions for similar venues. It combines public data and licensed third-party data from sources like Factual and Foursquare, analyzing signals such as neighborhood demographics, average rent, commercial density, nearby establishments, and menu prices to infer a place's "vibe." The product currently emphasizes dining and drinking recommendations; users start with prompted seeds (e.g., favorite pizza) and can refine results with thumbs up/down. Zofari has begun testing music events and provides neighborhood recommendations for new cities based on neighborhoods users like at home. Coverage is strongest in major metros — New York, Chicago, D.C., Boston, San Francisco, and L.A. — with a lightweight experience available across the U.S. The mobile app relaunched on iPhone and Android, the company operates with a five-person team, and it plans to consider additional fundraising next year.
