History

Usersnap was founded in 2013 by the two brothers Florian and Gregor Dorfbauer and Josef Trauner. The idea for Usersnap arose from the founders working in developing web applications where they faced communication challenges. [2]

The product emerged from the idea to communicate better with a visual communication tool and to make web development more efficient. The three founders started working on their product in early 2012. In 2013 Usersnap raised an investment from SpeedInvest. [3] [4]
