Story
Hoppers takes inspiration from the grasshopper — a symbol of movement, rhythm, and balance — to create a work culture where people can thrive, not just survive.
1.
grass · hop · per — A joyful, happy work culture, like a grasshopper that enjoys life.
2.
hop — To leap or jump lightly; a flexible and free nomadic lifestyle.
Our values:
•
Freedom – Work anywhere, anytime.
•
Connection – Build bridges, not borders.
•
Purpose – Work that matters, communities that last.
Hoppers aspires to build a work culture where people can work joyfully like a grasshopper, and freely and flexibly like a nomad.
