Quilt began as an in-home community meet-up platform and pivoted to an audio-only mobile app after the COVID-19 pandemic halted physical gatherings. Within the app, users can instantly open moderated audio rooms that focus on spiritual and personal development, career and purpose, and relationships, sex and family. The company emphasizes egalitarian participation, reporting that 98% of hosts also join other rooms and more than half of all attendees speak during sessions. Early retention is promising, with 80% of new sign-ups returning weekly and roughly 60% of conversations launched spontaneously rather than pre-scheduled. Quilt’s revenue model eschews advertising in favor of a future freemium offering. The product went live in Apple’s App Store at the end of January and the eight-person team is 50% female, 20% LGBT, and 10% non-binary, reflecting a focus on inclusive community values. The company has raised a $3.5 million seed round to further develop its wellness-focused audio platform.
