About us

Built by people who’ve been on both sides of the software

One of us ran the businesses that bend to fit their software. The other helped build and sell that software to tens of thousands of them. Happy Hands is what we built when we put those two views together.

What this means for you

He’s been the owner filling the gaps by hand. He builds tools for how the work really gets done, not how a manual says it should.

Why Happy Hands

The software almost fits. We close the gap.

  1. 01

    From the inside

    Mike saw it as an operator: every new system almost fit, and his teams filled the gaps by hand with spreadsheets, retyping, and workarounds.

  2. 02

    From the vendor side

    Jordan saw it across tens of thousands of customers: businesses changing how they work to fit cookie-cutter software, then paying per seat for it.

  3. 03

    So we built the alternative

    Custom tools built around how your team already works, plus AI agents if you want them. We run it all for one monthly fee.

About us

Built by people who’ve scaled software for small businesses

Between us, we’ve helped grow monday.com, Connecteam, and Minta: software used by tens of thousands of small and midsize businesses. We saw what those businesses still did by hand. Happy Hands is how we fix it.

A note from the founders

Why we started Happy Hands

Jordan, CEO · Daniel, COO

We’ve spent our careers on the vendor side of small business software. Between us, we helped grow monday.com, Connecteam, and Minta, and we’ve talked to more owners than we can count.

The same thing kept coming up. The software almost fit. Teams filled the rest with spreadsheets, retyping, and workarounds, and paid per seat for the privilege.

So we started Happy Hands. We build the tool around how your team already works, add AI agents where they help, and run it all for one monthly fee. If it doesn’t pay for itself, we haven’t done our job.

What we’re here to end

House rules

What we believe

  • 01

    Software should fit your team.

    Not the other way around.

  • 02

    A person approves what matters.

    The AI drafts. Your team decides.

  • 03

    One monthly fee.

    No per-seat math. Ever.

  • 04

    Start with the task that hurts most.

    Then the next one, on the same data.

Tell us how your team works today.

We’ll listen first. Then we’ll show you what it looks like when the software fits.
