Who we are
HopSkipDrive is a mission-driven company that makes life easier for busy families by getting kids where they need to go safely and dependably.

We are based in downtown LA. Our mission, our enormous market potential, our team and the technology challenges we are solving make HopSkipDrive one of LA’s hottest startups and an all-around awesome place to work.
