Our Story
HiPop Markets started when our founders realized how difficult it was to find reliable information about local markets. What began as a simple directory has evolved into a comprehensive platform that serves the entire local market ecosystem.
The Atlanta Innovation
Traditional market systems required vendors to apply for each event individually. Market organizers struggled with duplicate vendor data and complex application processes. Atlanta's growing creative market scene needed something better.
HiPop's Breakthrough
We pioneered a permission-based system where vendors request market access once, then create unlimited pop-ups. Unified vendor management eliminates duplicates. Market organizers can create unlimited markets with comprehensive tools. Atlanta's creative community now has the sophisticated platform it deserves.
What We Stand For
Our values guide every decision we make and every feature we build.
Sustainability
We believe in supporting sustainable agriculture and reducing food miles by connecting people with local producers.
Community
Local food systems are about more than transactions - they're about building relationships and strengthening communities.
Simplicity
Good technology should be invisible. We focus on creating intuitive, easy-to-use tools that get out of the way and let people connect.
Our Impact
We measure our success by the strength of the communities we serve.
Built by people who care
Our team combines deep expertise in technology with a genuine passion for local food systems and community building.
Built by Atlanta's Creative Community
HiPop was created by people deeply embedded in Atlanta's diverse market scene. Our team includes regular market shoppers, vendor advocates, and organizers who understand the unique dynamics of Atlanta's local markets, artisan fairs, vintage markets, and pop-up community.
We've witnessed firsthand the challenges of traditional market management systems. That's why we built sophisticated solutions like permission-based vendor relationships, unified management tools, and flexible pop-up systems that reflect how Atlanta's diverse creative community actually works.

Whether you're a shopper looking for fresh local food, a vendor wanting to grow your business, or a market organizer seeking better tools, we'd love to have you as part of our community.
