What we do.

About Us  

We work with mission-driven brands, nonprofits, and local changemakers to bring bold ideas to life through creative strategy, meaningful events, and technology that brings people closer instead of pulling them apart.

Following in the footsteps of the generous queen (Nicki Minaj) our founders met while working at Red Lobster in college.

After graduating, we found ourselves in DC, where we met for Paella and bonded over a shared frustration - online dating (and life) made real connections so much harder to find.

So we set out to fix it.

The Fringe Way was born from that conversation - and we're on a mission to  connect people, passions, and communities through events and technology.
