Snapfish

Snapfish is a personalized photo-based products company founded in 1999 by Shripati Acharya, Raj Kapoor, and Suneet Wadhwa, with its headquarters located in San Jose, California. Initially launched under the code name "Project Skytalk" before settling on Snapfish.com Corporation, the company aimed to lead the migration to digital photography by offering online photo sharing and printing services. Snapfish has undergone several ownership changes, starting with its acquisition by District Photo in 2001, followed by a sale to Hewlett-Packard (HP) in 2005. In 2015, District Photo re-acquired the company from HP. Most recently, in early 2020, Apollo Global Management completed an acquisition of Snapfish and merged it with its rival, Shutterfly, into a single entity, though both brands continue to operate.
