about us

our beginnings

Established in 2012, Snakehive was born to safeguard your most prized possessions. While touch screen smartphones were new to revolutionise the industry, their fragility left them vulnerable to damage. With the inadequacy of available protection options, the inception of Snakehive stemmed from a rejection of the status quo.

Through our artisan leather phone cases and lifestyle accessories, we ensure that your belongings stand the test of time by delivering smart functionality and premium quality at an affordable price.

what is crowdfunding?

Crowdfunding is when a business’ community of customers, family, friends, and investors come together to support the business by raising funds (Seedrs, 2024).

The benefits of equity crowdfunding.

When investing through equity crowdfunding, you become a shareholder. We’ve chosen this investment model to offer you the greatest possible benefits: capital appreciation, equity ownership, and potential returns.

TYPES OF CROWDFUNDING

why are we equity crowdfunding?

We've embarked on this equity crowdfunding journey to secure the additional funding necessary to achieve our ambitious future goals. This approach not only provides us with the financial resources we need but also allows us to build a stronger community of supporters and investors who share in our vision. By bringing together a diverse group of shareholders, we can drive innovation, expand our reach, and ensure that Snakehive continues to thrive and grow in the years to come.

As an established player in the phone case industry, we're now aiming to address fresh challenges by diversifying our product range and entering new markets, all to bolster our brand recognition. Our objective is to strengthen our international footprint while remaining true to our origins. With ambitious goals ahead, we need your support to reach them!
