For our first visit on Tuesday we went to Snapask. The meeting with the start-up was very informative and interesting. We were
warmly welcomed by the founder and two employees who were awaiting us in their modern office space. Afterwards the
founder told us his story about how he has founded Snapask and his experiences.
During his stay in China he has learned how to solve problems due to the need of earning some money. That knowledge helped him to create his start-up. The two big problems he faced at the beginning were the lack of money and the missing network. In addition the founder mentioned the difficulty to find Investors for a new business concept. But "if you believe in your idea, you should never give up!"
The founders reason for the development of Snapask is that in addition to the quite impersonal tutors the students need to have a mentor who personally supports them. Especially within the Asian teaching style, which almost has no interaction in class, individual help after school is definitely a necessity
Answering one of our questions regarding their working times the founder as well as one of the employees explained that they cannot tell how many hours they work, because instead of seeing it as work, they just love to do it, which is essential for the growth of the start-up.
By now Snapask has about 130,000 users and in the next years the company wants to expand it's market to Vietnam and Indonesia.
The company's future goal is to match the profiles of the customers who have the same questions and share their learning paths to create small communities within the community to create a loyal customer base.
