Our mission

To help service-driven, small business owners succeed.

Statistics show that one out of five small businesses fails within the first year. Why? Because most business owners lack the proper business foundation. They burn out before they succeed.

17hats is dedicated to providing the automation, education, and advice that small business owners need to succeed.

Our Story

An article inspires a platform. And a mission.

In 2011, an article in The New York Times caught the eye of our founder, Donovan Janus. Titled “Maybe It’s Time For Plan C,” the piece spoke to the trials and tribulations facing would-be small business owners. It explained the dire statistics: Too many small businesses fall prey to chaos and time-sapping paperwork.

Donovan knew that smart, tailored tech could provide the answer. From that, 17hats was born. A mission, too – 17hats is dedicated to helping entrepreneurs realize their dream, by automating their way to small business success.
