Each year, Snap Inc. will choose a small group of people or teams to join the program and provide the tools necessary to grow their business “from the ground up.” Apart from funding ($150k for equity on founder-friendly terms), those who make it into the program will also receive mentorship and introductions to industry veterans, but will also be given creative office space in Venice, California. Finally, there will also be an opportunity for distribution on Snapchat.
