University Growth Manager - University of Cincinnati
About Snag
- Company. Snag is an instant needs service focusing exclusively on providing high-margin goods to college students. We directly employ drivers who deliver on e-bikes or scooters and carry all inventory in our company-owned dark stores.
- Mission. We emerged as a direct response to the exorbitant fees and long wait times that plague existing delivery services. We're providing the fastest delivery service available with deliveries being fulfilled within 10 min, all while ensuring affordability.
- Traction. Last year, we were on 6 college campuses and served 40k customers. Our stores generated more revenue per square foot than Trader Joe's.
- Growth. We just launched on 5 more campuses and have plans to expand to 12 more within the next 12 months. In July, we raised $4.5m in an oversubscribed seed round led by top-tier investors that gives us 3 years of runway.
- Team. Our entire team is 22 employees and an additional 500 part-time campus-specific employees.
