HOPPR®

Our Origin

At HOPPR, our name honors Admiral Grace Hopper, one of the trailblazers in computer science who boldly defied convention to drive innovation. She believed in bold ideas, challenging the norm, and building things that make a real difference. This spirit of progress and ingenuity is at the core of everything we do.

At HOPPR, our name represents more than just who we are – it embodies the way we think. We believe that true progress in health and humanity comes when people dare to question how things have always been done and aren’t afraid to try something new. We’re here for the innovators, the creators, and the change-makers who want their work to leave a lasting impact. We’re building a company where diverse perspectives are celebrated, where people can grow in their careers, and where they can do work they’re truly proud of.

If you’re driven by purpose, inspired by potential, and eager to push boundaries. We’d love to connect.
