Snag Solutions is on a mission to empower creators by enabling them to own their marketplaces, maintain users on their platforms, and enforce royalties. Through an immersive digital experience, Snag Solutions aims to support the growing creator economy in the web3 space. In today's Feature Friday, we're excited to share an insightful Q&A with Zach, Co-founder, and CEO of Snag Solutions.

Zach's experience as an early leader at DoorDash, where he spearheaded sales strategy and developed new products, has prepared him for his current role at Snag Solutions. The company began with its first partner, Goblintown, in September, and has since grown to over 50 partners while refining their core product. They are now focusing on developing loyalty and social products to help partners offer value to holders and enable project-specific peer-to-peer trading in their marketplaces.

Q&A with SnagSolutions 👇

能否请您介绍一下自己，包括您的姓名、过往经历以及目前在公司担任的职位？此外，请简要说明贵公司的使命以及为客户提供哪些服务。

I'm Zach, Co-founder and CEO at Snag Solutions. I was an early leader at DoorDash, leading sales strategy and building out new products as an intrapreneur, including leading our white-label restaurant business. Our mission at Snag Solutions is to help creators take control of the buying experience by owning their own marketplace to keep users on their platform and enforce royalties. We're building tools to help partners build an immersive digital experience.

贵公司自成立以来经历了怎样的成长与变化？对于未来，您有什么规划？

Since our first partner, Goblintown, launched in September, we've grown to 50+ amazing partners and built a strong core product. We're currently working on our loyalty and social products that solve the puzzle for partners trying to drive growth by providing value to holders, and have project-specific peer-to-peer trading coming to our marketplaces soon!

在 Web3 领域，您目前观察到哪些最突出的趋势？您认为哪些趋势将在未来几年内势头渐增？

Blur has taken market share via token rewards and reduction of royalties, hurting both creators and the space at large. We've noticed an increase in wash-trading along with a shift away from 'collecting' as a core use case. Creators are fed up, and have expressed the need to control their revenue.

We believe that in the future, 80%+ of creator smart contracts will be upgradeable and include logic to help enforce + incentivize royalties. Creators need full control over their revenue model and control over the trading experience. Web3 was built off of the creator economy and the ability to support revenue. Things will swing back.

What inspired you to develop SnagSolutions, and how did you conceive it?

I was leading the DoorDash white label business building new tools and services to help large brands like Chipotle and Panera run pickup + delivery through their own app & website when I redpilled into NFTs. After flipping a monkey JPEG and sending several thousand dollars to OpenSea for not a whole lot of value, I saw the opportunity to build the same business in Web3.

Is there a new feature of SnagSolutions that you find particularly exciting or noteworthy?

V2 of our social product is launching in the next few days, which enables holders to access feeds with project announcements and community posts with trading posts and marketplace activity to follow!

NFT communities see a ton of fragmentation, so we're solving for social + trading use cases as part of our native marketplaces, while standing up a secure 'single source of truth' for communities.

Can you provide insight into Snag Solutions' progress by sharing any metrics or milestones indicating its traction?

We have 50+ partners, including ApeCoin DAO, Goblintown, The Plague, and Genuine Undead, with many top names in the pipeline! We're seeing up to 20% of our top partners' listings go through their dedicated marketplaces, and continue to see strong volume come through fiat checkout from partner communities.
