Snap Inc. is a US based technology and camera company that is behind the iconic Snapchat mobile app. Founded by Evan Spiegel and Bobby Murphy in 2012, the company has made waves by revolutionizing the way people communicate with each other. Snap Inc. recently reported a 7% decrease in revenue and had its stock plunge over 20% in after-hour trading for its first quarter of 2021. The lackluster earnings were due to changes by Apple, as well as increased competition from the likes of TikTok and YouTube. In order for the company to bounce back, Snap Inc. has made strategic decisions, such as offering subscriptions and offering their AI-powered product, My AI. At the same time, larger tech companies like Facebook's parent Meta are reporting revenue increases.
