"From seeing 75% of our sales vanish in the 10 weeks leading up to April, it’s amazing to think that we’re now in a better position than we were pre-COVID."

"We’re all about making it as easy as possible to put a big chunk of cash back in people’s pockets and want to make Snoop the most valuable app on everyone’s phone. We’ve made great strides since we launched in April and we’re thrilled with the support from customers in the crowdfund. We will now accelerate development of the platform, broaden our smart money-saving services and continue to scale the business."
The pre-seed round was backed by a private angel investor to support team growth and product development.
"The incredible thing about eSwapp users is, no two are the same. We’re not here to “match” people. We’re here to bring together Swappers and their valued skills and empower organisations to know in real time what skills are missing. Our three-layer mathematical model, developed by a former associate at Yale and Cambridge University, makes skill predictions to help organisations get ahead of the curve with strategic business decisions backed by smart data. This pre-seed round will go towards new hires, fine-tuning our product development, and a solid client acquisition and retention strategy."
The seed round was led by Pink Salt Ventures and Founders Factory to help scale production and expand the team.
"My doctor didn’t identify the early symptoms of perimenopause. I didn’t fit the profile. I was ‘too young’ and still having a regular cycle.

It is presented as an end-of-life category when it should be a midlife empowerment category."
