Otta's take

Sam Franklin headshot

Sam Franklin

CEO of Otta

Hopin launched in 2019, and has been one of the fastest growth companies able to take advantage of the global shift to online meetings and conferencing that has taken place during pandemic lockdowns. They're now a fully fledged event platform, allowing companies to create immersive virtual, hybrid, and in-person event experiences for their audiences, no matter where they are.

Hopin has made several significant acquisitions in 2021 to further its capabilities and hit unicorn status. These have included Boomset, adding onsite capabilities such as kiosks and badges to its offering, and Attendify, enhancing its event marketing suite to provide elevated, data-driven registration and engagement tools.

They have been one of the fastest growing companies in the world over the last couple of years, and now has hundreds of thousands of customers, including the likes of Slack, Twitch, WSJ and UPS.

From the very beginning, our CEO Johnny already said that Hopin would be the fastest-growing company in the world, and he's already kept his promise. Apart from that we were able to bring on a top leadership team of veterans from Salesforce, Dropbox, and co who bring the necessary knowledge to scale such a fast-growing business effectively.

Hard working team

Nov 2020

For the first time in my career, I've found a place where impact and results are valued more than simple attendeeism. Also, in my first week at the company, I was able to contribute to a project unrelated to my role; my suggestions went live 3 weeks later.

Autonomy

Nov 2020

If you want to work at a place where every process is mapped out and perfected, then this isn't the place for you. However, if you're energised by the thought of being part of a team building something at an incredible pace where new opportunities and responsibilities are there to take, then you'll love it.

Innovative product

Nov 2020

I've started as a Software Developer and now I had the opportunity to try a more management role which means that I had to learn new skills. Hopin allowed that and I never felt pressure to rush it! Also, on the engineering side, there's a lot of opportunities to learn new technologies to find ways to improve our product.

Flexible working

Nov 2020

Everyone at Hopin is very humble and there are no egos. We are all very passionate about the product and we all work towards improving the product/platform and ensuring our clients are taken care of. When someone has a question or requires support, another team member is always up to support whether it be answering a question or helping out with a project/task. Despite the fact this is a fully remote company, I believe I've built some strong connections with some colleagues and am excited to continue building on those relationships.

Operations & Strategy

Nice people

Nov 2020

There is a lot of synergy among the teams (both within a team and cross-functionally) as we all want to see the product succeed. Everyone is super excited about the new features and updates and passionate to show it off to our clients. We also spend a lot of time trying to build our all-remote culture to ensure everyone feels included and there are plenty of touch bases in the organization such as regularly scheduled all-hands staff meetings, team meetings and socials!

Nov 2020

Hopin is growing incredibly fast and it keeps me on my toes.

It is exciting to see the product grow and to work with like-minded team members and have the opportunity to test/trial new ideas.

Operations & Strategy

Growing fast

Nov 2020

Calling Hopin a rocket ship is almost an understatement. This team is fast, hungry, and elite; all of which (and more) adds up to the highest-achieving group I've ever worked with. Join, and you'll grow at a pace you never imagined.
