Fast Society

Co-Founder

Jun 2009 – Aug 2010

Fast Society let anyone create private, temporary teams with friends around fun events. In a team, participants can group text, create conference calls and share their locations.

Text + talk + find

Fast Society brought group texting, one-touch conference calls, and location sharing together for nights out and events. It worked on almost any mobile phone, so friends could stay connected across different devices.

Built to party

We worked with a CollegeHumor team to show how Fast Society fit into a night out. Some of the people involved went on to work in late-night television and film.

The SXSW house party

Our SXSW house party started during the Fast Society years and carried on into Cameo. This footage is from 2012, when the party had become a tradition of its own.

Fast Society in The New York Times

Michael, Andy, and I were featured in The New York Times for our work on Fast Society. The paper also covered the emerging group-texting category.
