David Vitek is a co-founder of Hipages, the Sydney marketplace that connects homeowners with tradies. He founded it with Roby Sharon-Zipser in 2004. It began in a garage as a directory for trade businesses.
In 2011 the founders stopped selling listings and turned the business into a marketplace. Homeowners' job requests were sent to tradies, who paid for the leads and the relationship. Revenue became recurring.
Hipages raised about A$50 million before its IPO. Investors included KTM Capital, Right Click Capital and Kresta Capital.
The company began trading on the ASX on 12 November 2020 under the code HPG at A$2.45 per share. The IPO raised A$100.4 million and valued the company at A$318.5 million. In the year to 30 June 2025 revenue was A$83.1 million.
