What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

Fabric is a mobile app that automatically logs your locations, activities, and interactions into a private personal journal. It lets users see their paths, add friends to share experiences, and browse photos tied to places they've been.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and our company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're in San Francisco because it's where the startup community and talent we need are concentrated. It also positions us close to early users who care about privacy and social sharing.
