Birthday blowouts
Dinner, a tiny DJ, flowers that aren't sad. Soft-pledge the party so the host isn't floating the bill.
Soft-pledge now. Charge only when it's a go.
Friends chip in when it's a go.
Charge only when the goal hatches.
Create a goal for a party, reunion, trip, or group gift. Friends soft-pledge with a card on file. Nobody is charged until the goal hatches — then everyone chips in together.
~1% Hatch fee. Stripe's card fee is passed through. Cancel anytime before it hatches — nobody is charged.
Three steps. No surprise charges.
For the group chat that already wants in — with a real checkout that waits until the goal hatches.

It hatches
When the goal hatches — or every friend confirms it's a go — cards charge together. Not before.
Built for the plans that only work if everyone's in.
Not a public campaign page. Hatch is for people you already know — the ones in the thread.
Family reunions
Cousins in four time zones, one rental house. Hatch the deposit before anyone books a flight.
Cabin weekends & trips
If the house doesn't fill, nobody pays. If it does, cards charge the same afternoon.
Group gifts
A real present instead of thirteen $20 gift cards. The recipient never sees who pledged what — unless you want them to.
Cards saved, not charged
Friends save a card. Nothing is charged until the goal hatches.
Cancel is actually cancel
Kill a hatch before it succeeds and every pledge is void. No leftover authorizations that surprise people.
A small, honest fee
Hatch takes about 1%. Stripe's processing fee is passed through. No mystery platform cut.
The group chat already decided. Hatch makes it real.
Start a hatch in a minute. Share the link. Watch soft-pledges stack up — friends chip in only when it's a go.
