Crosshatch
University of Washington
Crosshatch helps high-velocity software teams decide what to build next at the speed of AI. We turn scattered evidence into structured product decisions, with documented rationale, dev-ready handoffs, and outcome tracking so every launch informs the next. Founded in Seattle by a 15-year product leader, Crosshatch closes the gap between what AI lets teams build and what's worth building.
