Circular Feature Showcase: HappyPorch
Founded by Barry O’Kane in 2014, HappyPorch was built on the belief that technology should be a force for good. What began as a small team of developers passionate about purpose-driven innovation has evolved into a full-service software partner for the circular economy, helping organisations around the world design, build, and scale digital tools that support both commercial goals and sustainable values.
From developing bespoke software to offering fractional CTO support, HappyPorch combines deep technical capability with a nuanced understanding of circularity, ensuring clients not only succeed commercially, but do so responsibly and for the long term. The team’s ethos is rooted in clarity, honesty, and impact, guiding businesses to make smart digital choices that reinforce both profit and purpose.
Take our word for it - we’ve experienced what it’s like to work with HappyPorch first-hand:
Circular Connect has partnered with Happy Porch to build our global business directory, and their advice and support have been invaluable. Their technical expertise, combined with an intricate (and rare) understanding of the circular economy, has helped us move from ideation to creation far faster than we imagined possible.
Certified as a B Corp and a proud member of 1% for the Planet, HappyPorch also champions collaboration and knowledge-sharing. Through its long-running HappyPorch Radio podcast, the team has spent nine seasons exploring how technology can accelerate circular progress, all while developing the Circular Tech Map, an evolving ecosystem of digital software enablers driving circularity.
If, like us, you want to build technology that powers a more circular future, and are looking for a partner dedicated to improving the global environment, HappyPorch would love to hear from you:
Whilst we’ve got your attention…👋
Once HappyPorch complete the directory build, we’ll begin onboarding thousands of businesses offering circular, sustainable, and reverse logistics solutions.
Our mission is to give the global circular economy the visibility and connectivity it needs - and this platform will do exactly that.
