Innovation is at the core of our mission
We started as a social network, and always looked to innovation when an answer didn’t exist. Today, we build for hardware initiatives, AI, connectivity, commerce, Reality Labs and much more. Our mission—to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together—guides our innovative decision making.

If you want people to build things that don't exist, that have never existed and that are innovative, you have to give them the opportunity and the room to fail, to make mistakes. Because that's the only way we can truly innovate and make things better.
