SNAP INC.
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.

By 2020, there will be 1.4 million computer

But projections show universities will not
produce enough qualified graduates to fill
even 30% of these jobs.
