Local entrepreneur in Alexandria develops SnapSpaces app for gathering wedding photos from attendees

In the bustling city of Alexandria, Virginia, two innovative companies are making their mark - Tech Foundry and SnapSpaces.

Tech Foundry, a software product development company founded by entrepreneur Elizabeth Kukla, is on the lookout for one or two new clients before the year ends. Kukla made this announcement, expressing the company's eagerness to collaborate with local businesses. Tech Foundry, much like SnapSpaces, operates out of The Link coworking office in Old Town, Alexandria.

SnapSpaces, a service launched by Kukla in 2021, allows guests at events to upload their phone pictures and videos to a single gallery. This service, born from Kukla's role as the best man at her cousin's wedding, has since evolved to cater to wedding planners and event photographers. The primary focus of SnapSpaces is to preserve "little memories and moments" from events, ensuring that no cherished moment is lost.

SnapSpaces accounts can store up to half a gigabyte of data, accommodating a wealth of event memories. However, it's recommended that longer videos, such as a two-hour-long wedding ceremony, are not uploaded due to potential technical issues. The service requires only the event host to have an account, making it convenient for everyone involved.

The cost for a personal SnapSpaces account is $19, while monthly subscriptions for businesses range from $39 to $79. Currently, SnapSpaces' customer base primarily includes real estate agencies, interior designers, and property developers who utilise their virtual staging and 3D visualization services.

To maintain a family-friendly environment, SnapSpaces employs AI to scan for explicit content in uploaded images. This feature is designed to prevent explicit content from ruining events or embarrassing anyone.

Meanwhile, Tech Foundry secures clients primarily through word of mouth, favouring local businesses. The company's services have proven valuable, with a growing list of satisfied clients.

Elizabeth Kukla serves as the founder and Chief Technology Officer at both Tech Foundry and SnapSpaces, demonstrating her commitment to innovation and entrepreneurship in Alexandria. Both companies continue to grow and evolve, offering exciting opportunities for collaboration and growth in the city.
