Our Story

Fabric is where parents come to start their family's financial life.

Why we started Fabric

Hi, we’re Fabric’s co-founders, Adam & Steven.

Starting a family can feel like a huge leap of faith. You’re never quite ready! Then all of a sudden, you’re responsible for a little human that comes without an instruction manual.

To make things harder, as parents we need to think ahead to protect our family's future. Seeing around corners. But where to begin?

We started Fabric to help you begin. To tackle your parental must-do list – the things you know you should be doing, but haven’t yet. They may feel intimidating, so you put them off. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

As founders who have solved these problems for our families, we’re here to share a better way. We’re thrilled to be serving tens of thousands of American families and look forward to helping yours, too.
