What Fable does
Fable is a command center for product teams - we're building for PMs what Figma has done for designers and Linear for engineers. Product teams are acting on stale information. Fable is the place that keeps everything - from specs to decisions - fresh.

Company
Fable
The command center for product teams
We're building a tool that helps product managers keep their specs, decisions, and context up to date. Product teams rely on outdated docs or scattered notes, which slows them down. Fable is designed to be the central place PMs use to track and communicate everything that matters to building a product, similar to what Figma is for design or Linear for engineering.
Alex is in New York, and Aravindh is remote. After YC, the company would remain based in New York and support remote work.
We live where we do for personal and professional roots. New York is a major hub where many product teams work, so it connects us directly to users and early feedback. Remote work is practical for flexibility and talent access.
