Partnering with over 200 brands and retailers in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Tokyo and London, Snapette aims to give shoppers the inside scoop on products, sales, and in-store events. For brands, Snapette acts as a real-time and targeted marketing platform that helps drive foot traffic to stores and grow a customer base.

Please don’t forget that it’s not only white men who matter in today’s entrepreneurial landscape.
I’m sure you know that it’s nothing new to publish a business magazine with a white man on the cover; most of them do. But your Editor’s Letter in this month’s Inc.
