Snap Inc. is a camera company. We believe that reinventing the camera represents our greatest opportunity to improve the way people live and communicate. Our products empower people to express themselves, live in the moment, learn about the world, and have fun together.

Yellow is an ecosystem that serves founders and companies at the intersection of creativity and technology through investment, mentorship, events, and educational resources.

The Yellow Accelerator is a launchpad for creative minds and entrepreneurs building companies at the intersection of creativity and technology. Not only are we making an equity investment in promising creative entrepreneurs, but we’re also providing mentorship and guidance to help them level up their businesses through a 14 week accelerator program much faster than they could on their own.

Yellow’s Community finds new ways to support, convene, and educate members of the Yellow ecosystem through programming, networking events, newsletters, and more. The journey as a founder can be lonely and difficult to carve out, we want to make entrepreneurship accessible and bring people together, to learn from one another.
