At HubKonnect, innovation isn’t a department or a quarterly initiative—it’s the foundation of how we build, how we work, and how we win.
We’re not here for the hype cycle. We don’t chase vanity metrics. While the tech industry floods the market with press-driven announcements and performative AI features, we’ve spent the last eight years quietly building something that actually works—something that drives results for the biggest brands in retail. Something that fundamentally changes the way franchise systems grow.
We’re not building an app.
We’re not building for headlines.
We’re building the most intelligent, hyperlocal retail performance platform in the world.
And behind it all is a culture where the best idea always wins.
At HubKonnect, it doesn’t matter who you are or what title you hold—if you have an idea that improves how we drive client performance, it gets heard. More importantly, it gets built. Ours is a culture of intellectual meritocracy, where every voice has the power to shape the product and every insight can trigger a new wave of innovation.
There’s no hierarchy when it comes to solving problems. If your code improves performance by 0.1%, we ship it. If you’ve observed something in the field that can evolve the algorithm, it gets integrated. This open, agile, and ego-free environment is what allows us to move fast, iterate relentlessly, and stay laser-focused on what matters most: the success of our clients at the local level.
We don’t build technology for speculation or PR. We build it for transactions.
Every feature, every release, every optimization is built to serve one purpose—increasing sales and performance at the store level.
HubKonnect is now powering thousands of locations with daily, AI-generated strategies that lift average check size, increase customer frequency, and generate real traffic. Our Local Store Marketing Plans are not one-size-fits-all templates—they are living, breathing, hyperlocal playbooks custom-built by the Brain, our proprietary AI engine.
Our benchmark isn’t media coverage.
Our benchmark is client cash register activity.
HubKonnect attracts a certain kind of talent—people who are wired differently.
Our team is made up of engineers, product designers, retail strategists, data scientists, and client leads who all share one common trait: a relentless obsession with outcomes. These are thinkers and builders who sweat the details no one else sees, who push every line of code and strategy to the edge of what’s possible, and who show up every single day to solve hard problems for our clients.
There are no passengers here. Everyone is driving.
We work hard, we move fast, and we go deep—whether we’re reengineering an LSM algorithm or deploying a product update to thousands of locations overnight. The expectation at HubKonnect isn’t perfection. It’s excellence through tenacity.
At the core of our culture is the leadership of Michael Koch, a visionary founder known for blending relentless execution with deep technical insight. His leadership style is sharp, focused, and unapologetically performance-driven—rooted in clarity, accountability, and an obsession with outcomes. Michael doesn’t lead from a distance; he’s in the trenches, driving product innovation, client success, and strategic thinking across every part of the business.
Alongside Co-Founder Kathy Hartman, whose LSM expertise and client-first mentality have shaped the backbone of the company, they’ve cultivated a culture where tenacity is expected, excellence is the baseline, and the best idea always wins. Together, they’ve built an environment where speed, trust, and innovation thrive—and where every team member is empowered to do their best work in service of building the most powerful retail intelligence platform in the world.
While the rest of the tech world is busy talking about AI moats, we’re building something far more powerful: an AI Ocean.
This is not a plug-in. This is not a wrapper. It’s a vertically integrated, proprietary, location-optimized AI engine trained on decades of real-world QSR and retail data—down to the three-mile trade zone. And every single day, it gets smarter. The Brain powers our entire platform and informs the decisions that franchisees, field teams, and corporate CMOs make to maximize local performance.
This isn’t theoretical. This is the infrastructure of the future of intelligent retail.
And we’re building it here. Quietly. Deliberately. And with unmatched speed.
It’s no secret—everyone wants to be part of what we’re building.
HubKonnect is where elite talent comes to work on something that matters. It’s where you can see your thinking come to life inside the workflows of the biggest brands in the world. It’s where the impact of your execution shows up in the numbers—sometimes by lunch. And it’s where you’ll be surrounded by a team of people who don’t care about the spotlight, but care deeply about the outcome.
People want to work at HubKonnect because we’re real. We’re building with purpose. And we’re doing it without distraction.
At HubKonnect, we’ve created a culture where innovation isn’t about status—it’s about solutions.
Where success isn’t about surface—it’s about substance.
And where working hard for our clients isn’t the exception—it’s the expectation.
We’re not here to be loud.
We’re here to be undeniably effective.
If you’re looking to join a company where your work actually matters—and where the best ideas, the smartest minds, and the hardest workers come together to build the future of retail intelligence—you already know where to find us.
