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:
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:
