Our Story
Samuel Elder started Hard Hat Hippo because he works in construction and sees it every day: good tradespeople wading through vague listings, "competitive pay" with no number, and applications that go nowhere.
There's no app built for the man in the truck.
And a guy who's been on the job since six doesn't want to sit down at night and build a résumé. So we're building one that keeps it short. First, it finds you the good jobs.
Then it rides along in your pocket: your certs, licenses and paperwork in one place, your trade life organized, and real tools to get your money working for you. Tradespeople get treated like they can't handle money. We know better, and we're building like it.
