👋 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.
  • Jules is our mascot who helps out in unexpected ways. If you see them around Hardcover, say hi.
