Someone needs eyes on an address they cannot get to. Someone else is already standing two miles away with a phone. SnapDash is the mechanism that makes those two people safe to rely on each other.
One person, one Friday, one apartment she has never seen.
Jessica Warren is moving to Denver in three weeks. She found an apartment she can afford. The landlord wants the deposit wired by Friday.
She has never been to Denver. The listing photos are six months old.
FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center, 2025 Annual Report — 12,368 complaints, $275.1M. IC3's real-estate fraud category covers rental, timeshare and investment property.
The photo was never the hard part.
Trust was.
The challenge wasn't taking the photo. It was trusting a stranger.
Three steps, two people, and four mechanisms that make a stranger safe to rely on.
Has $39, a Friday deadline, and no way to get there.
Wants $35.10 for a detour on a shift she was already driving.
The alternative was a $400 flight and two days off work.
Six required shots. $39, four hours to deliver.
Jessica writes the list, so completeness is not a judgment call. She posts at 8:51 and the hold goes on the card at that moment.
Away from the address the button reads "Move closer to unlock." At 1435 Fillmore the app marks the Snapper verified on site and "Open Camera" goes live. There is no way to shoot a job from anywhere except the job.
The app names each shot and counts her through the list. She cannot submit until all six are captured. This is why nobody needs to be vetted.
Authorized at post. Stripe manual capture. No money has moved.
The camera will not unlock until the phone is at the address. That building, taken now.
Not on delivery — on approval. Wrong photos? The Snapper reshoots, the hold stays.
The requester defines the shots up front. Completeness is a checklist, not a judgment call.
Cancel at any point and the hold is released. Nobody is ever charged for photos they did not accept.
The requester asks for changes. The Snapper reshoots. The hold stays in place until it is approved.
The job expires. The hold is released. Nobody was charged.
She cancels and the job returns to the pool. Only one job is ever held.
Any time before approval. The hold is released the same day.
No path ends with someone paying for photos they did not accept.
Emily Delgado, 34, was 2.1 miles away when the job posted. She drives for a delivery app between shifts. Her phone is already in her hand.
She is not a photographer and does not need to be.
Renters relocating, buyers, out-of-state owners.
Pay $39 for an answer worth thousands. Write the shot list, approve the result.
Couriers, drivers, students, locals.
Earn $35.10 on a 20-minute detour. No gear, no portfolio, no interview.
One revenue line, the shape of job it serves, and where that need shows up.
A 10% service fee. Nothing else. No subscription, no listing fee.
A cancelled or unapproved job earns nothing, because nobody was charged.
The job is an address. Someone has to physically stand there, and no software replaces that.
Money, a signature or a claim is held up until somebody sees the place. The photo unblocks it.
Worth more today than next week. The urgency is in the situation, not manufactured by us.
Not worth a flight, an adjuster or a site visit. That gap is the whole market.
None of them hold the money until the requester says yes.
One mechanism. Every situation where someone needs eyes on an address:
The supply side needs no equipment and no training.
Authorize, capture, split, pay out — an API call, not a company.
The couriers are already outside, already checking a phone for the next job.
Targets, not results. Measurement begins the day Stripe goes live.
Where we are today, without decoration.
Founder, SnapDash
This was my problem first. In college there was a place I needed to see, no way to get there, and nobody to ask.
Every piece of the answer already existed — a phone, a map, a payment. Nobody had connected them.
Public vantage points and common areas. Anything requiring entry is the requester's to arrange.
The shot list is about places. Faces are never the deliverable, and a Snapper can decline any job.
Stripe Connect verifies identity before a first payout. One active job at a time, server-side.
Snappers are independent contractors. We are tracking state-level change.
On the App Store with Stripe live. Real holds, real captures, real money — nationwide.
10,000 approved jobs. Time-to-fill, approval rate and reshoots measured on real transactions, not projections.
Build Snapper supply where demand concentrates. Density is what makes a 70-foot radius fill in twenty minutes.
New regions on proven demand, supply density and unit economics. Live signals decide, not a plan written today.
Every address in America is twenty minutes from someone with a phone.
Jessica did not fly to Denver. Emily made $35.10 on a shift she was already driving.
