It will be exciting to see how HYPR evolves and extends its market leading position.”

SM and HYPR have a history of collaboration and the team’s first crossed paths when the co-founders established the company about five years ago. “Immediately the first time we worked together we weren’t thinking anything about an acquisition, but things evolved and we determined this would help us become the best in class,” stated Gil Eyal CEO HYPR. In addition to his other ventures, SM co-founder and President Steve Zeitchik will remain with HYPR in an official capacity. Additionally, SM co-founder and CEO Matt Anthes has joined the non-profit mission focused Hatcher Group’s executive team as VP of Digital Communications, where he will lead and grow the firm’s digital practice.
