Bring your company forward.
Run a home services company? Keep your name on the van and your team in the trucks. This is how an independent company becomes a Grasshopper Group location.
Not an acquisition. Not a franchise.
You built something real. It stays yours to run, same name, same people, same city, inside one company built by tradespeople, for tradespeople. You are not starting from zero. You are starting from over 230 people, and growing.
I love numbers. I love operations. I love people, and I love marketing. Operations is where I live.
Grasshopper Group started with Chad and Veda Terrinoni at Hummingbird. They came to me struggling. Not with money. The pressure was too much, and it was reaching their home life. They were about to sell for a few million. I said, why would you do that? You have a beautiful brand and so much to give the community you are in. I will help you for free. I will give you everything I know, so you can build something beautiful for your team and your people.
I had already spent millions of dollars in mistakes figuring it out for myself. I failed. I learned. I paid for every lesson. I pivoted. Why should they pay for it twice?
Not long after, they asked if I would join them on the journey. The rest is history. Because of Chad and Veda, this turned into a national movement. We built a whole team so the next founder does not have to figure it out alone. That is what Grasshopper Group is. People first. Not business stupid. Both, or it does not work. Now we bring it to the entire country.
You still make the decisions. You stop making them alone.
Running a shop is lonely. Every hard call is yours. Every hire, every bad month, every decision at 9 PM with nobody to ask. Inside Grasshopper Group there are eight other founders who have made the same call, a Monday Desk that runs every week, and a central team whose job is to pick up when you call.
Most owners do not join
for themselves.
They join for the technician who has been with them six years and has nowhere to go. Inside Grasshopper Group that technician gets The Forward Way, a head coach riding along, a quality control supervisor on every call, tech support one phone call away, leadership coaching, a licensed therapist, and a real path from the truck to leading a team. Your people can hold equity. Your people get Camp Forward. That is what changes for them the day you join.
The whole playbook.
Your hands on the wheel.
We take everything we built and hand it to you. All of it, from day one.
The central team is built once, so every location gets it. Real people, serving every location at every stage. You do not hire them, manage them, or carry them as overhead. That is how a $5M location gets the support of a $50M one. About to hire for a seat on that list? Call us first. It is probably already filled.
We do not come in and run your team. That was never the point.
We give you the tools and the support to be the best leader you can be, for yourself, for your team, and for your community. You lead. Your people rise. Your city gets the standard. That is where everybody wins, and that is where the movement comes to life.
Ownership moves up, not out.
You do not sell your company. You trade ownership in your location for ownership in Grasshopper Group, and you keep running your shop. We take nothing on your distributions. The numbers get discussed in person, not on a website.
