The story

Hatchproof is a behavioral AI-powered people-performance platform aimed at founders and enterprise HR teams. Founded by two-time exited founder Imran Syed, the company positions itself as 'Moneyball for companies' — replacing opinion-based performance reviews with continuous behavioral signals drawn from Slack, email, 1:1s, and other digital exhaust. The platform covers hiring, onboarding, retention, and performance management. There is no embedded financial product at its core; Stripe is used purely for subscription billing.
