We started Fabric to grow the social fabric, one in-person conversation at a time.
Our world is more interconnected digitally but more disconnected socially than ever before. Everywhere, social division is growing, loneliness is spreading, and anxiety is rising. Our social fabric is threadbare.
Fabric turns our phones from walls into windows, revealing the thoughts of the people around us, and inviting infinite possibilities for conversation and connection right where we are.
The more we use Fabric, the more we talk; the more we talk,the more we laugh; the more we laugh, the more we trust; the more we trust, the more good we can do together.
We need those face to face interactions where we learn the choreography of altruism and where we create those spiritual goods like friendship and trust and loyalty and love that redeem our solitude. When we have too much of the I and too little of the we, we can find ourselves vulnerable, fearful and alone. - Lord Rabbi Jonathan Sacks
Here on the pulse of this new day, you may have the grace to look up and out and into your sister's eyes, and into your brother's face, your country, and say simply, very simply, with hope, "Good morning". - Maya Angelou
Fabric can turn a room full of strangers into a room full of people who share common threads. With Fabric, our daily routines can spark ever changing possibilities for conversation and connection. Fabric makes any place a meeting place and even a public square. With Fabric, we can meet the abundance of human kindness and imagination, and we might just come to trust there is always more than enough to go around.
At Fabric, we create moments where we are. We look forward to being part of yours.
The future is looking up!

You be you. You look great on the inside. And what you think matters.
Be where you are. You’re not missing out.
See where you are. If there are kids around, keep it decent.
Use your inside voice. No need to shout. Everyone can hear you.
Spark serendipity. The future is looking up.
Be curious. You never know. The post that makes you roll your eyes could belong to your next date or your future boss. Dare to learn more.
Look again. That post going on about the team you hate belongs to someone who loves sports as much as you do.
Let human happen. Sometimes the longest way around is the shortest way home. ****
