Award-winning.
Reuse-first.
Founded and headquartered in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Happen Ventures has grown into a worldwide operator serving Fortune 100 warehouses, major retailers, hotel groups, and stadiums — with an active presence in every single U.S. state, Puerto Rico, and service that reaches across the globe.
We are a proud Amazon Vendor, a WBENC-certified Women-Owned Business, NGLCC-certified LGBTBE, MBE Certified, and SBE Certified. Our work has been featured in Forbes, Inc., HuffPost, and Waste360.
Recognized for the
work we do.
A decade of reuse-first operations, women- and minority-led — recognized by industry councils, entrepreneurship programs, and sustainability bodies across the country.
We show up.
We document everything.
Every pickup is photo-documented. Every pound is weighed on certified scales. Every manifest is filed. Our crews are bonded, trained, and integrated with ServiceChannel — so you get 1-hour response across all 50 states.
And after the truck leaves, the data flows into your Impact Dashboard automatically. Site by site. Stream by stream. In real time.
See how it works
Built by someone
who actually cares.
Jessica Gonzalez founded Happen Ventures on a simple thesis: waste is a failure of imagination, not a cost of doing business. She serves on NJ Governor's Restart and Recover Committee and has been recognized as one of the most innovative entrepreneurs in the country.
The people who
make it happen.
A focused core team backed by a vetted network of crews, drivers, and thousands of nonprofit partners — with a presence in every U.S. state, Puerto Rico, and service that reaches worldwide. We scale to your footprint, not ours, so a single pickup and a 500-site rollout get the same operation behind them.
