What Hoppier does

Hoppier (legal parent Hoppier Inc., Ottawa, Canada; US operating entity Desk Nibbles Inc., Delaware) operates a SaaS-based digital rewards and corporate gifting platform built on Visa-branded virtual prepaid cards issued by Celtic Bank, processed via Stripe, and accepted in 60+ countries across 1,000,000+ vendor options. The core product surface comprises virtual gift cards, prepaid Visa cards, meal vouchers, employee stipends, expense reimbursements, group greeting cards, and CRM-triggered gifting workflows, delivered to recipients by email magic link without requiring an app install. The defining technical and commercial differentiator is 100% recovery of unused card balances back to the sender — a structural cost-efficiency advantage over traditional gift cards where unused balances are forfeited.

The platform monetizes through a four-tier annual subscription model (Starter $590/yr, Pro $1,649/yr, Growth $3,149/yr, Enterprise custom) supplemented by a 5% per-card transaction fee on a free introductory tier, plus usage-based gift card distribution revenue. Go-to-market is hybrid: product-led growth for SMB self-serve adoption, direct enterprise sales for large accounts (SOC2 Type II, custom integrations, 5-minute concierge response), an API for developers embedding gifting in their own products, and Zapier-based ecosystem connections to Google, Microsoft, Slack, Whova, Getbee, Stripe, and Mailchimp. A flagship native Salesforce integration (launched June 2025) automates CRM-triggered gifting with activity logging on lead and opportunity records, signaling a deliberate expansion into sales and marketing budgets.

Hoppier reports 1,200+ customer companies including Amazon, Salesforce, Shopify, ADP, Pfizer, Merck, Hilton, CrowdStrike, Atlassian, Etsy, Strava, and NeighborWorks America, spanning HR, Operations/Finance, and Sales/Marketing personas. Customer reviews average 4.7/5 on Capterra, 4.9/5 on Google, and 4.4/5 on G2. The company is privately held, has raised approximately $1.15M cumulatively across 2017-2020 from Canadian non-dilutive and angel sources (BDC, Capital Angel Network, DMZ, Ontario Centres of Excellence, Invest Ottawa, SOFII), and operates with 11-50 employees — indicating a bootstrapped, capital-efficient operating posture.
