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 People spend thousands of dollars every month for an experience that is outdated, inconvenient, analog, impersonal and leaves a lot to be desired.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.
