Jamie: We were both at Yale at the time. I was doing some research at Yale over the summer and saw this flyer. It said, “Get discounts with your friends at my favorite smoothie place.” I’ve always been a huge fan of ordering ahead, saving time, and I knew I was interested in entrepreneurship, so I couldn’t help but reach out. I did a little researc...
Jamie:I was a neuroscience major, on the pre-med track, and took one or two computer science classes, but I ended up leaving around the fall of my junior year to build Snackpass. Startups have always been on my mind. Classes definitely took a backseat. We like to say that the restaurant is our office. Kevin would code at different restaurants and I...
Kevin: Maybe people are more educated these days about startups, but I didn’t know anything about them at the time. DRF, First Round Capital, and Y Combinator created a great bootstrapping experience where you get everything downloaded in a short amount of time. It has to be short because speed is everything in startups.
Kevin: We had a Slack channel that would show every time there was a purchase, and it was always a trickle. Then we launched it in the fall of 2016 with some of the core components of Snackpass as we know today – the focus on pickup, social rewards and discounts. Students started coming back on campus, it accelerated and the Slack channel was blowi...
Kevin: The first customer was my roommate, and I told him to do it. The first 100 were through flyers we put up on campus and handed it out to people walking around. Got to 100 pretty quickly. Jamie: One thing we love about Snackpass is that we get to use it every day. We can build the product for ourselves and what our friends love. We were living...
Kevin: When we started at the beginning, it was not a fully-fledged platform. It was a website, not an app, and a place where you could get discounts by logging in with your yale.edu email. The idea was that it was something we did all the time and it’d be awesome if there was a place where you could see all the options together. On the merchant si...
Kevin: One of the best attributes of Snackpass is the name. It used to be called Happy Hour, and that was a terrible name. You’d search it in the app store and there’d be like 50 other happy hour apps. There wasn’t the consumption of SEO or anything like that. We did this huge word map on a whiteboard where there’s all these semantics and bubbles, ...
Kevin: They were on Yale’s campus. We actually applied and got rejected the first time. Six months later, we applied again and got in. Besides a tiny loan from my brother, our first investment was Dorm Room Fund, and it meant a lot. Jamie: We saved the money from DRF and used it to launch Snackpass on Brown, our second campus. DRF was crucial in he...
