Funding history

Snapplify is backed by AngelHub Ventures, a venture capital company backed by former First National Bank CEO Michael Jordaan and the Harris family, as well as international investors. In 2019, Snapplify secured $2 million expansion capital from venture capital firm Knife Capital and empowered African investment manager Hlayisani Capital’s Hlayisani Growth Fund.
