The connectors behind the connections.

Fastener exists because growth in digital media still runs on trust. We are the operators in the middle of the market, turning relationships, context, and technology into opportunities for the companies we represent.

01Our story

Started as a network. Built into a platform.

Fastener was founded in Los Angeles in 2013 by Jay Westlin, whose leadership years at SpinMedia and Evolve Media shaped a simple conviction: the best opportunities in digital media rarely come from cold outreach. They come from someone credible saying "you two should talk." Fastener grew out of the demand for more of those introductions.

That conviction became a practice built on quality, integrity, and strong partnerships. Every client passes a rigorous certification process, so buyers trust what we curate for them, and that trust is what turns discovery into introductions for our clients. Buyers never pay to use the network. The intelligence behind every introduction now runs on LINK, the platform that lets trusted relationships work at the speed of the whole market.

02What we believe

Three beliefs run the business.

Trust travels

An introduction is a transfer of credibility. We only make the ones we can stand behind, on both sides.

Context beats volume

Ten conversations with a reason beat a thousand without one. Relevance is the whole game.

Signals compound

Every conversation teaches the network something. What we learn today sharpens tomorrow's connection.
