Today, Snap Inc. hosted our first investor day, highlighting our product, business, community and opportunity for the future. The event underscored our mission to contribute to human progress by empowering people to express themselves, live in the moment, learn about the world, and have fun together.
Evan Spiegel, Co-Founder and CEO, kicked off the virtual event, which included presentations from nine leaders across our product, business, marketing, engineering, content, and finance teams. During the presentations, we overviewed how the core Snapchat products are evolving into broader platforms and businesses. In the introduction, Evan explained our vision for the camera, which is used by 265 million people every day:
“The camera was once a tool for documenting important moments and has now become a powerful platform for self-expression and visual communication. There are 5 billion Snaps created each and every day. And because the Snapchat Generation is 150 percent more likely to communicate with pictures rather than words, the camera will become even more central to the way we interact and build relationships with our friends and family.”
