Hidrent: Supporting off-duty heroes
GoGrow collaborated with the founding team of Hidrent to develop two applications that link firefighters with homeowners in need of assistance. The first application, Hidrent, enables local residents to offer support to firefighters by specifying payment for the tasks required. Firefighters who wish to participate receive notifications and can choose to accept proposals via the second application, Hidrent Pro. Responding firefighters will select jobs based on their skills and availability. Once a proposal is accepted, both parties can communicate through the app to finalize arrangements. Hidrent has received excellent reviews from users, being recognized as a highly effective service. With a growing number of downloads, it gained significant attention from major media outlets such as Fox, Yahoo Finance, and CNBC. Our team became the engineering partner for Hidrent, leading to our longest continuous collaboration. Together, we have accomplished significant milestones, including securing a Seed funding round and appearing on the popular American television show, Shark Tank.
