Company Summary

Snapknock's tagline is "Social. Local. Fast. Auctions." The aim is to create an innovative social platform aimed at connecting local buyers and sellers.

We ran a pilot program in Canberra, where we got 2000 beta users within a span of a month. Learning from that, we launched our website, and within 2 weeks already have over 600 local Canberran users.

We charge our users a small fee of up to 5 dollars, based upon the final transaction value.
