1/ It's been a year since @SachinMonga and I left Facebook. Since then, we've been working on a new app, Cocoon, which is launching today: cocoon.com

Cocoon is a private space for the most important people in your life. You can see an overview here:

2/ The purpose of Cocoon is to keep a small group close over time and distance. Specifically, an interconnected group who want to maintain and enhance their relationship together.

The app is a collection of spaces intentionally designed to accomplish this goal.

3/ My family is everything to me. As we've aged and moved apart, we've relied on technology to stay close. Despite how important our relationship is, the tech we use is really really old (phone, email) and definitely not designed with our *specific* needs in mind (SMS etc).

4/ Our fundamental believe is that special relationships deserve special software. That's why we built Cocoon.

You can download the app here: apps.apple.com/us/app/cocoon-…

Try it out with a group of people you care about deeply.

5/ This week is Thanksgiving, so maybe you're on your way home to that group of people shortly! While you're together would be a great time to set up a Cocoon, so you can stay close even when you're apart.

Let us know what you think and follow along @Cocoon_HQ.

6/ It's early days for us, and there is a lot of exciting work to be done. If the problem we're solving resonates with you, check out our hiring page and get in touch: cocoon.com/team.html
