Experts in unleashing
the power* of questioning.

We envision a world where conversation actually enriches our lives. We harness the science of questioning to push beyond the chatter, spark insights and understanding, deepen relationships, nurture community and build trust.

Our flagship offering, Fathm TM, harnesses the power of open-ended questioning to open up our lives, one question at a time.

Human social interaction rests on two pillars: the stories we tell and the questions we ask. The right questions posed in the right way at the right time can elicit powerful stories, self-disclosure, and vulnerability that will elicit

more questions, more stories, and yet more questions. This is the delightful dance that deepens understanding and relationships, and makes life worth living. We provide the questions and the music to get it all started.

When’s the last time you had a conversation that changed your life?

A pioneering approach to generating closeness – validated by clinical research*

Fathm™ —What We All Hoped Social Media Would Be

Do you sometimes feel guilty for not being able to do more, and if so, what more — if anything — do you think you really could be doing in a sustainable way?

What are the greatest sources of pleasure and fulfilment in your life, and what could you do to better honor, protect, and nurture them without neglecting your caregiving?

What personal price will you pay for your caregiving if it continues for an extended time as it is now, and how deeply have you considered whether you are willing or even able to pay that price, and how it would affect those depending on you?

What dreams and aspirations — if any — have you had to put aside because of caregiving?

Our flagship product, Fathm™, is a tool for catalyzing authentic, open-ended discussion. Its questions, proven to spark closeness, open up a new kind of space to let down our guard and listen to one another again – giving us the kind of social media we all hoped for.

Human IDentity Project

Humanity Beyond Labels

HIP is designed to collect and aggregate information from our stories and fashion a Map of Human Identity (MHI) that will be available to everyone along with the tools to use it to understand ourselves, others, and life’s possibilities.

MHI – explicitly of the people, by the people, for the people – will be the ultimate value-based social learning tool for understanding and exploring the human experience.
