What is Hubble?
Founded in 2016, Hubble operates a specialized eCommerce platform that disrupts the traditional optical retail market through a subscription-first model. By delivering daily-use contact lenses directly to consumers on a monthly basis, the company eliminates the friction associated with traditional eye care procurement. Headquartered in New York, Hubble leverages a digital-native strategy to capture market share from legacy optical providers, focusing on convenience, affordability, and recurring revenue streams. The firm's market position is defined by its ability to integrate seamless user experiences with a high-frequency replenishment cycle, effectively turning a commodity health product into a streamlined consumer service.
