Snapchat Spurned $3 Billion Acquisition Offer from Facebook

A detailed account of a Fastlane process...

Welcome to the only entrepreneur forum dedicated to building life-changing wealth.

Build a Fastlane business. Earn real financial freedom. Live your best life.

Tired of paying for dead communities hosted by absent gurus who don't have time for you?

Imagine having a multi-millionaire mentor by your side EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Since 2007, MJ DeMarco has been a cornerstone of Fastlane, actively contributing on over 99% of days—99.92% to be exact! With more than 39,000 game-changing posts, he's dedicated to helping entrepreneurs achieve their freedom. Join a thriving community of over 90,000 members and access a vast library of over 1,000,000 posts from entrepreneurs around the globe.

Forum membership removes this block.
Another thing to consider is that Snapchat is mainly used to send nudes and its main selling point is that images and videos are only available temporary. Can't imagine many users want to have their Facebook/Instagram connected with this as they are all about capturing moments for life. So, if they are selling to Facebook and users become aware of this, they might simply switch to a competitors app.
