Finding the way In 1991, Snickelways was still just a dream to Andy Howarth, a consultant for AT&T. It was not until 1993 that the company was officially founded by Andy and two friends from New York University, Michael Meyer and Paul Cimino. Snickelways Interactive originally started out as an interactive television and design company; it took the founders nearly two years to realize the lucrative nature of the World Wide Web. Snickelways survived off of one client, CUC International, for its first two years of existence, which eventually showed the company the way to the Web when Snickelways designed CUC's first web sites for shopping, travel, and automobile services. Even so, Snickelways couldn't last on one client alone. It was on the verge of collapse until Fruit of the Loom came along at the very end of 1995. Working for its new client, Snickelways broke some serious electronic ground by building the first commercially successful extranet, which grew into other business-to-business and business-to-consumer solutions. Snickelways really satisfies Snickelways usually worked with one major client at a time, as well as a few smaller ones. Slowly, it took on larger clients, adding Chase Manhatten Mortgage Corporation, Cablevision, and Rand McNally to its list. In 1998, Snickelways won Microsoft's "Best of Class Business-to-Business" Award for its work for Thomson Publishing. Since then, the company has been making the global move, first by training NetGalactic, a small technology development company in Bangalore, India, and later through a partnership with submarino.com, a Latin American online superstore. Snickelways continues to ride a growth spurt that started at the end of 1997. At that time, the company received $600,000 in angel financing. If that seemed like a lot, a year and a half later, Snickelways raised $3.1 million in equity financing with contributions from Walden in Manhatten, SBIC Hudson Venture Partners, and a firm in Long Island. Because of such funding and commercial success, an original six employees has been able to grow to a current 120. By June 2000, the company, anticipating even more new stages of growth, appointed Henry Satterthwaite as president and CEO. With 35 years of IT strategy and technology business management experience, Snickelways hopes Satterthwaite can manage the expanding company. Snickelways expects to add 100-150 employees by the end of 2000, as well as to open a second office outside of New York, and add more computer systems.
