Latch, Inc. (NASDAQ: LTCH) is a technology company that develops smart access solutions for residential and commercial properties. Its product suite combines cloud‐based software with Internet of Things (IoT) hardware to enable keyless entry, visitor management, package handling and seamless integration with building automation systems. By digitizing traditional lock-and-key workflows, Latch aims to enhance security, convenience and operational efficiency for property owners, managers and residents.
Founded in 2014 and headquartered in New York City, Latch was launched by a team of entrepreneurs including John D’Onofrio, Alex Yang and Arun Gupta. The company initially focused on digital keys for apartments but rapidly expanded its offering into a comprehensive building operating system. Early pilot installations in Manhattan set the stage for partnerships with prominent developers, and subsequent funding rounds helped finance geographic expansion and product development.
Latch’s core technology platform, LatchOS, underpins a range of hardware devices—such as smart deadbolts, door readers and package room lockers—and a suite of software tools for property management. The Latch Mobile App grants tenants and staff access privileges via smartphone, while Latch Manager provides administrators with real-time monitoring, custom access rules and analytics. Integrations with third-party systems cover elevators, HVAC controls, lighting, intercoms and energy management, creating an end-to-end solution for modern buildings.
Today, Latch’s offerings are deployed across thousands of residential and mixed-use properties in the United States and United Kingdom, with additional markets under development. The company works closely with leading real estate firms and design studios to embed its technology during the construction and renovation phases. Led by co-founders John D’Onofrio (Chief Executive Officer), Alex Yang (Chief Product Officer) and Arun Gupta (Chief Technology Officer), Latch continues to pursue its mission of transforming how people interact with the built environment.
