Our take
Latch specializes in keyless entry security systems enabling property owners to operate every door to their properties from a smartphone. In addition to its core business, the company also provides software that enables the remote monitoring and operation of services inside a building, like lighting, heating and air conditioning.
The business saw rapid growth across the US, as it has partnered with some of the largest real estate developers and property managers in the country, like Alliance and AMLI. Today, one in ten new apartments in the US are built using Latch's technology. The company has also announced its expansion into commercial office space with the launch of LatchOS for offices.
Latch went public in 2021 at a valuation of about $1.5 billion, but has since suffered setbacks due to its rapid growth just before a market downturn which affected both the tech and property sectors where Latch operates. Having conducted a large scale restructuring in response, the company is now aiming for profitability and cautious growth instead of rapid expansion.
