The Company

Hopper is a mobile travel startup based in Cambridge, MA and Montreal, QC.

We combine insightful research on massive data sets with intuitive design to help travelers make better decisions about where to go and when to fly and buy.

We launched the Hopper app (iOS) in January 2015, followed by the Android app and in-app flight booking on both platforms. Since launch, Hopper has surpassed 7 million downloads and 12 million trips watched!

The app has been featured in outlets such as Tech Insider, Mashable, CNET, Fast Company, and New York Times. Both Apple and Google have featured Hopper in the App Store & Play Stores as one of the "best new apps".

Hopper’s illustrations are an important part of the brand. They can invoke a sense of delight in the user experience and are a powerful way to make something potentially mundane into something visually distinct and uniquely ours. For this reason we aim to increase their presence in our apps.
