Hyde, Snappt to unveil vision for expanded solutions at Apartmentalize 2025
Snappt, the trusted verification platform for the multifamily housing industry, today announced the appointment of James Hyde as Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Hyde succeeds Co-Founder Daniel Berlind, who will transition to Executive Chairman and continue to play a key role in Snappt’s strategic vision, innovation, and trust category leadership.
Hyde joins Snappt as a proven growth-stage executive with a strong track record of building and scaling high-performing SaaS platforms. He most recently served as CEO of Venminder, where he led the company through 5x revenue growth. He also brings experience from leadership roles at PayPal, iPay, and Braintree, and is known for driving operational excellence, product innovation, and customer-centric growth with a focus on industry engagement.
“Snappt pioneered fraud detection in multifamily housing and earned the trust of industry leaders through dependable, AI-powered solutions,” said Co-Founder Daniel Berlind. “As we approach our next phases of growth and innovation, James brings the perfect blend of strategic vision and operational discipline to guide Snappt’s evolution. I’m excited to support him as we continue to expand our impact and elevate how we support our customers.”
A Platform Built on Trust
As part of its evolving leadership and vision, Snappt has expanded its product offering with the Snappt Suite, an integrated set of solutions built to safeguard the application process. Over the past six years, Snappt has analyzed more than 13 million documents, helped prevent an estimated $1.9 billion in potential bad debt, and currently protects 2.2 million units.
“Snappt is more than a product; it's a promise backed by a reputation for accuracy, innovation, and integrity,” said Hyde. “I’m thrilled to lead a company that is redefining what trust means in the rental industry. Together, we’ll scale our vision for trust infrastructure, helping property managers make confident, data-driven decisions in an increasingly complex landscape.”
With Hyde at the helm, the company is focused on expanding its suite of AI-powered fraud detection, ID verification, income verification, and payroll connectivity. New capabilities on the horizon include bank account linking and verification of assets—all designed to better serve both mid-market and enterprise property managers. The comprehensive offering is paired with a streamlined, user-friendly applicant experience that makes the verification process faster and more transparent for renters.
