Founded
2017 in London, GB

We helped Joe to create Snatch, the AR brand-marketing platform, which changed the way brands market themselves to millennials.

Joe collaborated with E-Man to create the world’s first Augmented Reality Treasure Hunt to contain real prizes. E-Man turned the idea into a brand and product and together with Joe, created a business that went on to become one of the most popular AR platforms in the UK. The company left E-Man with $5m in funding after launching a product using just under £200k in proceeds to get to that stage.

Within three months of its official launch, Snatch was generating MRR of £250,000 and amassed a database of 1,000,000 UK users, while still inside E-Man Venture Labs. Matt Hagger also helped Snatch pilot in the US at SXSW. Snatch is now owned by Playstack and is re-launching its platform Bandana next month.
