Today’s Guest: Today we have the pleasure of bringing to the show Christopher Gimmer who is the co-found of Snappa, one of the easiest Graphic Design tool on the internet today, it focuses on helping marketers and small business owners create highly engaging graphics without the help of a graphic designer.
Who is Christopher Gimmer?: Chris has not always been an Entrepreneur especially through his years of growing up. But there came a time when he realised there was more to life than crunching numbers every single day in a job that he no longer had a passion for. After taking some time out from the corporate lifestyle he travelled some of the most exotic places in the world, once he returned, Chris decided to get his head down and create something he was passionate about.
Chris’s Journey: Chris launched his first project with his business partner Mark who is also the co-founder of Snappa, their first project was a student dating site called Classmatecatch, they managed to acquire over 1000 users in their first few months but had difficulty scaling the business. In 2014, Chris & Mark decided they were going to use what they had learned through the startup stages to create their next venture that being Bootstrap bay, which was a marketplace for premium themes and templates. These boys were able to grow Bootstrap bay to over 10k a month in revenue just 6 months after launching. Chris & Mark weren’t satisfied enough so they decided to create Snappa.
