About Hedgehog

We believe that great content deserves great conversation. Hedgehog exists to make reader engagement seamless, expressive, and real-time — so publishers can focus on content, not on building engagement systems.

What we do

Hedgehog is an engagement platform built for content-driven sites — news outlets, media companies, blogs, sports platforms, and anyone publishing content that sparks discussion. From threaded conversations to live streams of commentary, from quick reactions on a headline to in-depth discussion on a long read, we give your audience the tools to engage on their terms.

Our embeddable components, native SDKs for Web, iOS, and Android, and a powerful management dashboard work together to bring rich interaction to any site — no matter how it is built.

Every organization gets its own isolated environment, and our API is designed to integrate with whatever powers your site — whether that is an off-the-shelf CMS or something entirely custom.

Our values

Easy Integration
