Hapik looks like a fun, independent climbing park, but three venture firms have backed its growth to 38 locations across France, the UK, Germany, and the US — including its 2022 buyout of Britain's Rock-Up. Workers describe pay near the local minimum.
The Big Picture
Hapik's founders still run the company, but venture funds have financed its jump to 38 climbing parks across four countries, including a 2022 buyout of the UK's Rock-Up chain. Staff on Glassdoor and Indeed both flag pay and benefits as the weak point, and hourly listings put wages near the local minimum in its priciest US markets. Growth here answers to fund timelines as much as to climbers.
