Founded by Caylee Harrington, a software engineer with firsthand RV living experience, and later joined by Evan Lehr, a business and sales expert, Hookhub is gaining traction thanks to the support of The Launch Fund, which invested $125,000. Their strategy includes multichannel marketing and engaging directly with the RV and landowner community through conventions and influencer partnerships.
