Help us change the way people search the internet

Here at Snap we’re changing the way that people search. Why squint at tiny keyboards and try and describe what it is that draws you towards an item when you could just take a photo? We’re starting in fashion but making big leaps into other markets too.

There are two sides to the business: our B2C app where we are a successful standalone ecommerce destination, letting our users search the world using pictures. We then have the B2B side of the business, where we license the technology to retailers and publishers to allow them to make the most of their online imagery.
