Become a sponsor to Hover

We are a globally distributed team on a mission to build an inclusive internet. We started Hover Developer Services (“Hover”) because of a technical innovation that allowed us to run USSD sessions in the background of an Android app. Hover helps developers automate USSD sessions in the background of Android applications.

Our Android SDK can run virtually any USSD interaction on any mobile operator anywhere in the world. This includes payments, airtime top up, bill pay and more. We used our core technology to build Stax, a fintech app that leverages USSD automation technology to power offline and online payments for individuals and small businesses in Africa.

Our Mission

Build an inclusive internet.

Our Vision

Empower developers with resources, services, and tools to build for local communities at global scale.

Our Values

  1. Be an a11y. Design for accessibility and inclusion.
  2. Document it. Commit to our collective memory. Share your work with teammates, customers, and the world.
  3. Share the spotlight. Elevate others. Their success is our success.
  4. “How can I help?” We are servants and stewards first. There is always an opportunity to help.
  5. Plan for contingencies. Life is messy. Anticipate negative outcomes.
  6. Data rights = Human rights. When it comes to personal data, less is more. Collect it rarely; protect it always.
