Every story has a cast of characters

Meet the stars of Hooray Studios

We’re a fresh, young, and motivated team of talented individuals who always have each others’ backs.  We never take ourselves too seriously, yet we’re uncompromising when it comes to our products.

What you’ll learn from our story…

Our Values

Every great story is built not just on the characters within it, but also the values those characters represent.  It’s our responsibility to demonstrate each of these 7 (our lucky number!) core values each and every day. 

Work hard, play harder!

We believe that our passionate work and positive mindset make us and our partners one of a kind. And as much as we love raising the bar of success, we also love celebrating it.

Celebrate diversity. Loudly!

We are open-minded and non-judgmental. We incorporate this into our products, our corporate culture, and our everyday lives. Respect!

Learn, try, teach. Repeat.

We proudly take responsibility for our mistakes and failures, take risks, learn from the outcome, and openly share our experiences. For us, it’s a natural way of growth.

Aim high. No! Higher!

We’re uncompromising when it comes to the quality of our products. From tech solutions to materials used in our books, nothing is impossible for us.

Make them go: “WOW!’’

We aim to exceed the expectations of our customers on every level, whether with our products, customer relations, or just random acts of kindness.

Dream as a team.

We believe that teamwork is the strongest pillar of the greatest masterpieces. We strive to create ours with the most special individuals who know their mission in our space of opportunities.

Be Quantum.

We live in a world of chaos and uncertainty, but we never lose our focus. Changes are faster than lightning, but don’t blur our vision. Everyone is welcome, and the ones that truly understand that start to believe in magic again.

Hooray’s

Founders

One is a creative mind who loves quantum physics and eating sea urchins.  The other is business-savvy realist who hates anything the color green (except money), but in reality wishes he was a unicorn.

Polar opposites, but you know what they say…
