Steven Fabre

Co-founder & CEO @ Liveblocks

About

I’m the co-founder and CEO of Liveblocks, a company on a mission to make the web more collaborative to help people and AI work better together. Before that, I created Easee, a web animation tool acquired by InVision in 2016. I also worked on design systems at Meta, and contributed to various projects in different capacities along the way. I grew up in Rodez, a small town in the south of France, where the values of hard work, resilience, and humility are deeply rooted. These principles continue to guide me in everything I do. After spending over a decade abroad in Sydney and New York City, I now call Paris home. I also invest small checks in startups and funds that inspire me. I owe much of my career to people who believed in me when others didn’t. This is my way to pay it forward. Think of me as an advisor with skin in the game—if you think I can help, I’d love to hear from you! stevenfabre.com
