Our Story
At a peer-to-peer fundraising conference just prior to the pandemic emergence in early 2020, the idea of Haymaker was born. As remote workers, we were getting tired of looking at the same walls. Variety in our work space allowed us to tap into the flow we need to get our best work done. Little did we know we were in for a lot of it in the coming year.
The great remote-work experiment caused by the pandemic caused many of us to evaluate how and where we work. We have enjoyed flexibility and lack of commute as a better way of working. But working from (our own) home may not be the best scenario.
Enter Haymaker. Enter new way of working.
