FictionCity is a social networking service created in 2011.[1] The service provides the facilities for artists to display their work through a multimedia portfolio, and for employers to hire artists, in the nine disciplines supported by the platform.[2]

FictionCity is a geosocial network. The platform integrates geolocation tools allowing users to connect and coordinate with local people, ateliers or events that match their interests.[3] The website is translated into twelve languages.[2]

The company was founded and its principal offices remain located, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.[4] It also has offices in San Pablo, Santiago de Chile, Miami, Mexico City and Barcelona.

The service was created by the Argentine computer engineer, Silvio Pestrin Farina,.[5][6] The company was reportedly created with an initial investment of $1 million and just three months later was already worth $18 million.[4]
