The Happening Gap
The world isn't short on things to do. We're short on a way to find them, keep up, and make our own happen.
We miss most of it.
We can't keep up with the rest.
Our own plans never leave the group chat.
That's the Happening Gap: the growing distance between everything that's happening and what we actually know about. Fig closes it, so you can get out there and experience the world, whether you're finding something new or making it happen with your own people.

Fig isn't a directory of businesses.It's a directory of experiences.
They're all around town, all the time.We just never hear about most of them.
Made for the moment
Same city. A different experience every time.
Friday with friends looks nothing like Sunday with the kids. Tell Fig what kind of night it is and your feed changes to fit, with a reason on every pick so you know why it’s there.
Try it: pick a moment.What kind of night is it?Why you're seeing this: good for a date: something to share and talk about
Live
Hit Live. See what's happening this exact minute.
Only what's already underway around you, plus anything starting within the hour. You'll also see the friends who've chosen to share their location with you, so you know who's out and can go join them.

Meet your group’s assistant
@fig
@figYour group gets an assistant. You get to just hang out.
Every group has that one person stuck doing the planning. On Fig, that's @fig. Mention it in your group's chat and it takes care of the logistics, so nobody needs a spreadsheet and the group stays about the people in it.
@figFriday or Saturday?@figwho’s bringing what?@figmove poker to Thursday@figwhat’s the plan again?
- Polls in seconds. Ask in plain words. @fig builds the poll, counts the votes and calls the winner.
- The bringing list, handled. Who’s on chips, who’s on chairs, who’s driving, all kept in the chat.
- The weekly thing keeps going. Poker night, pickup games, book club. The plan rolls forward every week without anyone restarting it.
Nothing in Fig matches yet. A Scout keeps looking anywhere until something does.

Found by your Scout ‘Tuvan throat singing, live’. Private to you.
A niche interest, rarely availableCan't find it? Send a Scout.
A Scout is a happening you describe that isn't in Fig yet. Fig goes looking for it anywhere, keeps watching, and shows you what it finds in a feed of its own. Make as many as you like.
- Describe it like you'd text a friend. No filters, no categories.
- It looks anywhere. If it's out there, your Scout keeps looking until it turns up.
- Private, unless you share it. Only you see a Scout and its finds. Or share it on your profile so your followers can follow along.
For the ones who always know
Know your city better than anyone? Let people follow you.
Every city has someone who always knows the spot. On Fig, that can be you. Curate boards of the happenings you’d put your name on, build a following around your taste, and become the person your city checks before it makes plans.
- Curate boards. “First dates that aren’t dinner.” “Free with the kids.” Your picks, your name on them.
- Build a following. People follow you for your taste in what to do, not for your selfies.
- Follow the people who know. Find the locals, tastemakers and hosts whose picks you trust, and see their city through their eyes.
Your name is still out there.Claim @yourname before someone else does.

Live music, late-night tacos and anything outdoors. If it’s worth leaving the house for, it’s on a board.

The shift
From “I never know what's happening” to “I'm always in the know.”
Someone who explores. Someone who shares the great idea. Good things happen to people who know what's happening.
Privacy
A social network that keeps your plans yours.
What happens in your group stays in your group. The long version lives on the privacy page; this is the short one.
Private by default
Strangers don't see you unless you let them. Blocking works both ways.
Exact spots stay hidden
Until someone is going, they see the neighborhood, not the address.
No location history
Sharing is opt-in, mutual and ends when you say. We don't keep a trail.
Never for sale
No data sale. No training on your moments.
Good questions
The short answers.
The long ones live on the privacy, terms and safety pages, written in plain English.
