company summary

Hatch is an online makerspace for tech-curious creators to build and share unique interactive experiences on the web, no coding required. Hatch’s ecosystem includes a publishing platform, design tools, and a community of creators experimenting with interactivity, animation, physics, and generative AI. Through drag-and-drop kits, Hatch helps casual and technical creators make unique websites, link-in-bio pages, evites, portfolios, digital art, interactive stories, and creative experiments they can’t build anywhere else online.

Hatch is led by cofounders Darrin Massena and Mike Harrington, seasoned technology entrepreneurs and successful product leaders. Prior to Hatch, Massena and Harrington cofounded online photo editing service Picnik, which grew to 60 million monthly users worldwide and was acquired by Google in 2010. Before Picnik, Massena cofounded SpiffCode (creators of Warfare Incorporated) and Harrington cofounded Valve Software (creators of Half-Life). Since its start in 2021, Hatch has been dedicated to democratizing software for creative expression.
