The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Hatch began in 2012 as a Boulder, Colorado startup founded by Ann Crady Weiss and Yael Kuchnow. They build sleep and wellness devices, starting with sound machines and light therapy tools. The Restore sound machine became their signature product, a bedside device that plays white noise, nature sounds, and gentle wake-up light sequences. Parents adopted the Rest model as a children's sleep trainer with customizable routines and glowing indicators. Today Hatch operates across North America and Europe, selling direct and through major retailers. The brand tracks at number one in Mattresses & Sleep among 21,133 tracked brands globally.
