7 early stage startups to watch in 2014
Snapwire
We caught up with Chad Newell, founder of Snapwire.
What is Snapwire and who’s it for?
“Snapwire is a mobile app that gives mobile photographers a real-time feed of paid photo requests from creatives, businesses, and brands. Stock photo buyers post a photo request on our website and photographers use our iOS app to submit creative photos to match. If your photo gets purchased, you get paid.”
How is it different to your competitors?
“Creative collaboration – that’s our big differentiator. Think 99 Designs for stock photos.”
How big is your team and how have you funded the project so far?
“[There’s me], Paul Filitchkin (Lead Dev and Chief Architect), Kerry Usry (Senior Dev), Eric Willis (Agile & Scrum Lead Software Dev), Danielle Storllie (UI/UX product) and Lindley Marie (Community Manager)”
What stage are you at now with the launch?
“[Snapwire] just moved from private beta into a [public] beta.”
