About Hannah
Hi, I'm Hannah.
I spent a decade in corporate tech before starting a small home services business in Portland. Everything I've done since sits at the intersection of technology, ownership, and building better businesses.
I run a business. I build software for how owner-operators actually work. I talk to a lot of other owners about the same.
Owner Interviews and Owner Build Lab both come out of that.
Owner Tools
Things that make owning a business easier.
Useful tools, software, and systems I use, build, or recommend for small business owners.
Asker
Get more Google reviews.
I built Asker because I needed it for my own service business. If you're an owner-operator, you know how much Google reviews matter, and you also know that asking for them is the last thing on your mind while running your business.
Open the app, tap a contact, send a review request via iMessage. Under five seconds. It's the tool I built for myself when I kept forgetting to ask.
Free 7-day trial. Then $14.99/month.
