Snapify’s all-in-one AI-powered solution shortens typical event photography workflows by as much as 90% and is on a mission to shake up a $39B industry that is long overdue for disruption.
NEW CITY, N.Y., April 19, 2023 (Newswire.com)

Snapfiy announces the launch of its community equity investment round on Wefunder. The funds raised will be used to scale the company’s product development, operations, marketing, and sales. Snapify’s first-of-its-kind, end-to-end AI solution empowers professional event photographers by cutting their post-shoot editing workflow by as much as 90%, enabling them to deliver high-quality photos to their clients much faster than current wait times, which can typically last weeks.
Snapify’s suite of photography tools includes several components, including a small, dedicated cellular-based device that attaches to any professional camera and backs up photos to the cloud in real time, an SD card that connects the camera to the rest of the suite, an app which is used to process and manage the photos on automatically-created web galleries that can also be shared with clients, and a sophisticated AI-powered editing algorithm that applies studio-quality culling and editing in near real time.
“I couldn’t be more excited to bring innovation to an industry that is long overdue for advancement,” said Ran Rahav, Co-founder and CEO of Snapify. “Snapify will transform the event photography experience with technology that significantly boosts efficiency both during and post-shoot, reducing excessive wait times for clients who can receive their professionally edited photos much faster, and freeing up a considerable amount of time for photographers to pursue more work opportunities or simply enjoy the more free time between jobs.”
The global AI market is valued at over $136 billion and is expected to grow by at least 120% year-over-year. With $1.5 million already invested in their patent-pending AI technology, the response from Snapify’s users has been extremely promising. “The ability to back up, cull, edit and deliver photos to clients up to 90% faster gives event photographers a competitive edge in an era where clients demand both speed and uncompromising quality from service providers. Photographers who stick to outdated, time-consuming processes will eventually lose out to those who are embracing AI-powered tools that boost both productivity and quality simultaneously,” said Shai Zohar, founder and CTO.
Snapify’s all-in-one, end-to-end AI solution includes real-time storage, editing, and photo-sharing features that no other solution is offering, placing the company in a unique position to disrupt the $39B global photographic services industry, which is expected to be valued at $52 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 6%.
“By the end of 2023, we expect to have around 200 paying customers, generating $1 million in revenue (ARR). Investing in Snapify today – before we experience exponential growth – presents a unique opportunity for equity crowdfunding investors to join us on our journey to redefine the future of professional event photography,” says Rahav.
The Snapify community investment round is available on Wefunder and is open to both accredited and non-accredited investors, with a minimum investment of $250. The opportunity is available for a limited time only.

Players can expect fun, yet challenging, turn-based combat as part of this early-access release, playing off classic JRPG mechanics with Devikins’ own, special twist. This ensures that everything fits the game’s theme on top of allowing for deep, strategic team building.
Sergio Nunes, CEO of MoonLabs Studios, explains the importance of this Early-Access release. “We want to make sure that we are delivering the best experience possible, so players can see what we’ve accomplished so far — and we can use the feedback given to us by our community to improve the game even further, helping us on the development side as we finalize the 2.0 launch.”
When players create an account, they earn themselves four Dummykin, four Replica Weapons, 16 pieces of Replica Equipment, and six Account-Bound Skills. So, ready to duke it out in the arena or story mode? Itching to let your Devikin battle its way to glory? Jump in now because it doesn’t matter what kind of player you are — current, returning or brand-new. Download the Devikins Combat Early-Access release below and start scrapping right this second.

International trip to Cannes 2023 touts Atlanta’s entertainment fintech ecosystem and promotes the city as a world-class destination for film and television production.
ATLANTA, April 19, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Filmhedge CEO, Jon Gosier, will lead the first delegation of City officials and business leaders to the Cannes Film Festival, May 16 through May 27.
Gosier, who founded Filmhedge in 2020, understands the importance of not only attending The Cannes Film Festival but of contributing to the success of the critical financial landscape that can make or break a successful year for filmmakers.
“Filmhedge is sponsoring the Marche du Film’s International Film Finance Forum as well as a number of other events at Cannes like the Producer Forum, where many films land lucrative distribution and sales deals,” said Gosier. “These events comprise the top echelon of the entertainment industry. As a funder of films with budgets as high as $50 million, globally, Filmhedge has an important seat at the table. Atlanta has an important seat at the table. We need to celebrate that fact,” Gosier said.
On Tuesday, April 18, at The Garden Room of the Atlanta St. Regis Hotel, Filmhedge hosted Atlanta’s critical assembly of economic leaders for film and television production for the first Annual Cannes+Atl.
Cannes+Atl is an association of local investors, producers, bankers, and others who will host events in both Atlanta, GA, and Cannes, France aimed at celebrating Georgia’s contributions to the Film and TV industry.
With support from city officials, Atlanta delegates, and members of Cannes+Atl, the principals are excited to be present and meet decision-makers at the 76th Annual Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France in May.
When asked what motivated the launch of Cannes+Atl, Gosier responded, “I’ve been hosting and sponsoring events for 6 years at Cannes, the most prestigious and largest international film festival in the world.” Gosier continued, “I’m always there championing Georgia’s entertainment infrastructure, its state tax incentives, and various local creators. Recently, it dawned on me that Atlanta, and Georgia more broadly, really had no prominent ‘voice’ at the conference. Last year I sponsored an event from another State because there was no Georgia event to support. I asked myself, how is that possible? This gap inspired my team to create one. FilmHedge is happy to give back to the state of Georgia, which has become so important to the entertainment industry.”
Present at Cannes+Atl were Marsei Martin – star of ABC’s Blackish and Executive Producer at Genius Productions; Joshua Martin, President, Genius Productions; Bobby Huntley, Director; Doug Cash, Vice President HULU; Cardelia Hunter, Director of The Atlanta Mayors Office of Film & Television; Brandon Butler, Owner ButterATL; Paris ‘PK’ Kirk, PK Music Management; Melissa Proctor, CMO of The Atlanta Hawks; Kaleeta McDade, Chief Experience Officer, VLMY&r; Ryan Millsap, CEO The Blackhall Group; Jessica White, Producer, Model; Rodney Ho, Entertainment Reporter, Atlanta Journal Constitution; and others.
Ryan Millsap, CEO of The Blackhall Group, and founder of Blackhall Studios says, “The missing pieces in the Georgia Film ecosystem are money, development, and distribution; We need Georgia capital to invest in film and television imagined in Georgia, developed in Georgia, and distributed by Georgia entertainment companies. I’m thrilled to hear that Jon Gosier and Filmhedge are growing an entertainment capital company based in Georgia.” Millsap continued, “Truly, we need Georgia-based Capital making money in film and television. Capital is integral to the long-term independence and sustainability of the entertainment industry in Georgia. Today our industry is dependent on a tax credit, but with enough capital in the space we could one day have an entertainment economy like Los Angeles that functions organically with or without a tax credit. We aren’t there today, but growing Capital companies takes us one step closer.”
Joshua Martin, President of Genuis Productions, and father of Marsai Martin of the ABC sitcom Blackish, knows how critical it is to think creatively and to take risks. “Our goal at Genius is to mine and nurture stories that might be overlooked by mainstream entertainment studios.” Continuing, Martin went on to say, “My job is to find that diamond in the rough. Filmhedge is a unique catalyst that not only diversifies funding but also breaks the money mold to diversify opportunity.”
