👋 Say Hi To The Team
Hardcover is a bootstrapped project started in '21 built by a small team. We haven't taken funding and believe a small group of passionate people can make an outsized difference. Read more about the team- I'm a software developer turned product manager who's been using Goodreads for over a decade. For years I've dreamed of having a better platform. Now's the time to make it happen!
- I read a lot as a teenager, but then a weird thing happened. I got book burnout, and I’m recovering from that slump. I am proud to be building something that helps others readers surpass that.
