Fractal.​Boston

What's Fractal?

The Fractal collective started in New York. Founded by Priya and Andrew in 2021, Fractal NYC created a dense scene of artists, technologists, and humanists. They even did the seemingly impossible: get enough apartments in one building that the community could put down roots.

Since then, Fractal has grown to over a thousand members, hundreds of events a month, a DIY university with dozens of classes each semester, a coding bootcamp, a community coworking space, and more. The result: mutual support and a groundswell of new opportunities for community members — creative, social, and even professional.

Fractal members are learning together, starting businesses, making art, raising children, reshaping NYC’s civic infrastructure, and having a ton of fun together.

Now we’re speedrunning the Fractal playbook in Boston. Join us!

How we do dinner

There are many ways to host a dinner. For us, we try to make it as easy as possible so we have more of them!

• The key is minimial effort. That means no cooking. We usually do takeout (we ❤️ Uber Eats group orders) and/or BYO, with the occasional potluck thrown in the mix.
• And no need to make your house look perfect — we all know what it's like to pretend you live in a museum when guests come over.
• Lightning talks are encouraged.
• Try to keep conversation groups to 4-5 people at most. Research backs this up. If you notice yourself in a big group, take the lead and split into two smaller groups.
• Check with the host before bringing a guest other than your SO.
• Kids are super welcome. We love kids. If your kids want playmates, ask the host who else might be bringing theirs (attendance varies).
• Subscribe for updates.
