🐌 ABOUT ESCARGOT

We're building something special at Escargot - a brand that's making thoughtfulness effortless through products that blend the digital and physical worlds.

What we're really doing: We're starting with greeting cards (yes, greeting cards!) but with a completely fresh take - culturally relevant designs, artist collaborations, and technology that handles all the annoying parts. But this is just our beginning. We're creating the tools, infrastructure, and experiences that will redefine how people celebrate and connect with each other.

Why it matters: In a world of digital fatigue, people are craving real, tangible connections again. That's why vinyl records are up 9%, disposable cameras are up 14%, and why we believe the time is perfect for reinventing physical expressions of thoughtfulness.

What sets us apart:

  • Cards that actually sound like you (not your grandma)
  • A creator platform where artists share in our success
  • Technology that makes the entire experience frictionless
  • Products designed to be shared, both physically and digitally

🐌 The Escargot Manifesto

We believe the digital world made keeping in touch easy—but forgot to make it meaningful.

Right now, your most heartfelt message competes for attention with 72 unread texts, endless Slack notifications, and that birthday reminder you snoozed until it gave up and disappeared altogether. Our phones made it easier to say "thinking of you," but somehow harder to prove it.

Escargot is here to fix that—and to build something much bigger than just another app.

We're starting by reinventing greeting cards for people who have things to say but hate the Hallmark aisle. Turning those 11pm "oh shit, it's their birthday today" panic spirals into "how are you so thoughtful?" victories. But we don't plan to stop there.

Our vision? A digital-to-physical social network that bridges the gap between your screen and actual human joy. Where every "congratulations" text can become something worth keeping, every meme-worthy moment gets immortalized somewhere better than your camera roll, and every inside joke deserves more than the ephemeral group chat it was born in.

Because we believe:

  • The best technology makes you forget it exists. (Like stamps, but without the licking part)
  • Relationships should outlast algorithms. (And your algorithmic attention span)
  • Real connections thrive in moments you can hold onto, not just swipe through.

Escargot is building the social network for thoughtfulness—not because we need another platform, but because we need a bridge between the worlds we've built online and the lives we actually live. A place where digital convenience meets physical charm, where creativity doesn't require Photoshop skills, and where thoughtfulness is effortless.

Why? Because your friends deserve better than "Happy belated" and the seventeen apologetic emojis you added to soften the blow. And because sometimes the most revolutionary digital product is the one that leaves a physical trace.

Here's to fewer forgotten birthdays and more unexpected mailbox moments. To thoughtfulness that travels at exactly the right speed: slow enough to mean something, fast enough to save your reputation.

Welcome to Escargot—where good intentions finally get their shit together.
