Why we exist

For many, FML means something else: an acronym that stands for “f*ck my life,” usually said at the end of a not-so pleasant situation.

We, at FML studios, are on a mission to change that.

We believe every individual is meant to live a *Fulfilling and Meaningful Life.

We aim to make this reality by helping businesses build communities that accelerate their ability to impact people and the world.

What We Do

We believe at the core of every innovative organization is the desire to help people achieve their potential.

We guide those organizations in establishing, growing, and amplifying communities that advance that purpose.

Community Growth Services

We help our clients build thriving communities that equip them with a strategic advantage. We focus on startups and technology businesses, who believe community is a key part to their success.

Partner Communities

Operated Communities

Communities built and operated by FML Studios. We build communities that enhance the overall technology and innovation ecosystem.

The FML Community

Community is all about learning, sharing, and collaborating. We come together to discuss how community can help amplify missions of organizations.

Why build community?

Community is a group of people who come together to nurture their own and one another’s growth. Here are some of our top reasons to build community:

Rally a community around your product.

Community acts as a part of your product. It amplifies the product offering because customers are realizing their potential through your product, while being part of a supportive community.

Develop authority by attracting supporters, mentors, and believers.

When a company builds community, it is propped up by a group of believers and thought leaders. Consistently bringing people together, learning with one another and establishing the company's authority on the matter.

Building a flywheel - moats and network effect

Like a web, more connections lead to stronger advantages. It is incredibly difficult to build lasting communities, but once established it is likely to create a stable moat that deters competitors from breaking in.
