Let’s Bring Humanity Together, One Conversation At A Time

For 5 years now I’ve been building tech that brings people together for life-changing conversations (Veterati, twine).

Most recently, Lawrence Coburn & I cofounded twine in Nov 2019 to end loneliness by creating a place where people could explore humanity, one conversation at a time. Lawrence wrote a beautiful piece introducing twine here.

Originally, we were going to do this with a mobile app that acted as your matchmaker and guide at real-life gatherings, dropping you into no-small-talk convos with different partners in the room.

However, our plans have changed. And like many companies that are finding ways to help people during this crisis (car manufacturers creating ventilators, vodka distilleries creating hand sanitizer, 3d printers creating masks, restaurants become bodegas), we know we can help too.

As humans we are meant to be there for each other, and one of the most difficult things about socially isolating is that it goes against our nature of wanting to come together to help each other during the hard times.

That’s why we’re releasing a new version of the twine app, that will will enable anyone from all over the world to get matched to others in our community for deep, 1-to-1 convos, VIA VIDEO. Friends who sign up here will get access to a private launch in just a few weeks.

Here’s how it works:
