About our meet-ups →
Handmade frames, independent businesses and real-world connections. Our frames create a simple way for people, businesses and venues to discover each other.
We place our handmade frames inside independent businesses, giving people something new to discover while helping venue owners become part of the growing Patch.
Each frame creates a physical connection between businesses and the people who visit them, helping independent businesses get discovered in the real world.
Through a Visibility Campaign, businesses can feature inside our frames across trusted venues, putting their story in front of real people in places they already visit.
Put your business in front of real people through our Visibility Campaigns.
