Accelerating Opportunities
We know what it’s like to try and break into an industry — to have the dream, drive, and ambition, but not have the tools to make it real.

How it started...
We founded Snapchat to create a space where people could express themselves authentically, connect with real friends, and learn more about the world around them. It was a big dream that we brought to life in a small office at 523 Ocean Front Walk in Venice, CA.
How it's going...
We’ve come a long way since our time at 523, but the number still means a lot to us. 523 exists because it represents who we are and everything we strive to be. It’s an acknowledgement of our past that also inspires others to reconsider what's possible for their own business.
Your Future Starts Here
The 523 program aims to build a pathway to success for content creators from all groups to ensure our ecosystem reflects our community.
