Who We Are

Nice to meet you.


The France Hopper Company is a series of small businesses headquartered in Portland, OR. We originally hail from Philadelphia, PA and have been doing business since 2007. We have doing business as The France Hopper Company since 2015.

The Story Behind The Name:


Our founder, and sole employee, is Stephen J. Weber, more commonly known on the internet as France Hopper.

When we were founded in 2007, we did business under the name ai|inc, but were often confused with The France Hopper Network, Stephen’s blog. In 2015, we made the decision to rebrand as The France Hopper Company, making The France Hopper Network one of our lines of business.

Our Values:


We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Not even most. When we work with someone, we consider them to be a partner. We’re happiest when the work we do allows everyone involved to showcase their talent and learn from each other.

We’ve seen a lot since our start in 2007. We’ve seen individuals grow from entrepreneurs to well-respected small businesses. We’ve seen huge risks become groundbreaking achievements. We’ve worked with individuals and small businesses from coast-to-coast.

For over ten years, we haven’t just believed – we’ve seen…

dreams can happen.
