Snap has acquired SaturnA calendar application that helps students manage their school programs and share them with others, the company confirmed to TechCrunch on Friday. The financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed. Saturn will continue to function as an autonomous application.
The news was first mentioned by Deluge.
Snap says almost the entire Saturn team is involved in Snap as part of the takeover, with just 30 full -time employees coming on the boat.
Although Snap did not share much about her plans for the acquisition, a company spokesman told TechCrunch in an email that the snap would bring Cardurn’s know -how on Snapchat in innovative ways.
Founded in 2018, Saturn repeats the calendar experience by bringing a social element. The idea behind the start is to allow high school and college students to connect with their classmates and to see which classes their friends are without having to share a set of photos of different timetables.
Users can share timetables with their friends to see what is in real time and what they have come to make plans. In addition to lessons, users can share their timetables for practices, rehearsals, meetings, games and more.
Snap says Saturn is used by a large number of schools and that 80% of US high schools have support for Saturn. Snap believes that Saturn has built its success by turning programming into a more attractive and dynamic experience. The two companies will work together to promote more real connections, Snap says.
Tower reported in 2021 That Saturn raised $ 44 million in a round of funding led by the general catalyst, Insight and Coatue partners, with the participation of Expeditions Bezos, Marc Benioff, Dara Khosrowshahi and Ashton Kutcher and the Sound Ventures of Guy Oseary, among others.
