Hoopers - Changing the Game, Together.

🎄🏀 Merry Christmas from Hoopers! 🎅✨ As we reflect on this year, we are grateful for the incredible achievements. We end our year with the opening of our new Court by Hoopers, in collaboration with PROJECT BACKBOARD and Atelier Joana Vasconcelos, a space that symbolizes our commitment to innovation and community building in basketball. Because, at the end of the day, it is all thanks to you. Whether on the court or online, it’s your energy, spirit, and dedication that make this journey so special. Thank you for being part of the Hoopers family. See you on the court in the new year! 🎉 #Hoopers #MerryChristmas #BasketballCommunity #InnovationInBasketball

At Hoopers, we’re always looking to learn from the best of the best. Being selected as part of the Cohort #6 from Unicorn Factory Lisboa was a smooth leadway to do so, and that progress started with the “Leadership, Culture, and Hiring for High Growth“ event. Led by the renowned Steve Cadigan, a true expert in talent strategy and LinkedIn’s first Chief HR Officer, the event was packed with insights on: - Crafting an employer brand that stands out in a competitive market. - Leveraging culture to attract and retain top talent, especially in high-growth environments. - Building a resilient, talent-first organization that thrives amid change and scaling challenges. - Avoiding common mistakes in recruitment and leadership, all while mastering performance management and bridging generational gaps. These lessons are essential for startups like Hoopers, as we continue to grow our team and elevate our mission on a daily basis. A huge thank you to Unicorn Factory Lisboa and Steve for an inspiring session that left us with actionable strategies for building a thriving, scalable organization. 🌟 #Hoopers #Leadership #HighGrowth #Innovation #SportsTech #UnicornFactoryLisboa
