Fabric was founded in 2022, with seed funding from Polychain Capital, Eniac Ventures, Mischief, and Reverie. The Fabric team is Jonny Mack, Dan Simpson, and Chris Douglas.

Our first product was an onchain crowdfunding protocol and user interface, launched in April of 2023. ~$500k was raised by 377 campaigns from 916 unique contributors. Some of our favorites were Farcaster Meetup Fund, FarCon Fund, FABRIC on BASE, MODEL-WIP, and FarCon 2024.

Our second product was an onchain subscription protocol and user interface, launched 6 months later in October of 2023. $1.2M was earned by 2,279 unique creators from 45,287 unique subscribers. Some of our favorites were EIC Quarterly, the yon experience, Aether, m/branson, The Geometric Circle, Ateliê 407, and Patrons of Blue.

Our third product, launching in 2026, is a swap routing API, benchmarking tool, and user interface.

With each iteration of the company we've learned, grown, and adapted to market reality. Though our products have taken many forms, our motivations remain the same: permissionless capital coordination, efficient markets, economic freedom.
