Latch makes spaces better places to live, work, and visit. Apartment buildings haven’t changed in decades. People spend thousands of dollars every month for an experience that is outdated, inconvenient, analog, impersonal and leaves a lot to be desired. Leveraging our knowledge from product companies like Apple, we’ve rethought how people interact with space. Latch delivers a full-building operating system designed to help owners, residents, and third parties like guests, couriers, and service providers seamlessly experience the modern building. We’ve done this by combining software, products, and services into a holistic platform that make spaces more efficient, enjoyable, and profitable. Founded in 2014, we started by defining the smart access category. We then went on to create our own hardware and software for a range of smart building devices, built integrations with Google Nest, Sonos, Honeywell, ecobee, Real Page, UPS, and more, and in 2020 unveiled LatchOS, our full-building operating system. Today, more than 1 in 10 new apartments in the U.S. are being built with Latch products, 7 out of 10 of the NMHC largest developers are Latch customers, and 36 states feature Latch buildings. We are a global team of 200+ team members working to reimagine the modern buildings of today and drive the evolution of the cities of tomorrow.

We made a promise. That promise made us a pioneer. What began as a personal snack mission launched The New Primal from an innovative home business to a beloved national brand. Once that perfect portable protein was created, it was too good to not share. Along the way, there would be no compromising on our commitment to use only the best and most responsibly sourced ingredients. Starting with grass-fed and pasture-raised meat, we keep our products free from antibiotics or added hormones and enhance them with craveable flavors crafted from soy-free, paleo-friendly, minimally processed ingredients. Our flagship jerky caught the snack world by surprise, while new and innovative flavors have kept the line varied and fresh. The introduction of meat sticks with equally high-quality components opened new doors for on-the-go-snacking, and our same-goodness-just-smaller-scale Snack Mates line became the healthiest protein snack available for kids. Most recently, we’ve put the magic in a bottle with a swoon-worthy (and Whole30 Approved) lineup of marinades with no refined sugar, dairy or soy. Watch where our promise takes us next, because the best part of this adventure is taking you with us. You are what you eat. Choose Wisely®.
