  How do you monetize a large user base without credit cards?
Ask Facebook. With Snapchat's curated "Our Story" stream it would be easy for them to superimpose a brand's logo on top of snaps that would get viewed by an audience that fits a particular demographic. I'd wager that companies see value in that.

When I moved to SF in 2012 I rented a new apartment in SOMA/South Beach (Carmel Rincon). My rent was $3300/mo for ~600sqft w/ no laundry. When I moved out they were increasing the rent past $3400/mo.

Title: iOS Software Engineer

We're looking for a motivated and passionate individual to grow within our existing iOS engineering team. This person will be working closely with our exceptional UX/UI team, with the goal of shipping a beautiful, finished product. Communication with the design team as well as our other development team members will be crucial to successfully iterating on the app and providing a consistent user experience across our platforms.

Responsibilities:

- Architect and implement new, engaging, mobile experiences

- Maintain and improve our existing features

- Help us build out a great mobile team as we grow

- Work closely with our UX/Design/API teams

- Thrive in a fast-paced startup environment

What we're looking for:

- Deep and intimate understanding of Objective-C/Cocoa

- Passion for iOS best practices and design patterns

- Strong familiarity with Git, XCode/AppCode, Instruments, etc.

- Eagerness to collaborate with product managers, designers, and back-end engineers

- At least one app in the App Store and a public GitHub repository

Without knowing the founders' goal when they set out how can you reasonably conclude that they failed? They built a product that was enjoyed by thousands of users. I'd say they succeeded.
