Throne Labs was founded in 2020 to solve a problem everyone experiences: scrambling to find a clean and accessible public restroom when you need it. Co-founder and CEO Fletcher Wilson knew this problem well, often admitting, “My GI system is my worst system.” When his experience turned into curiosity about public restroom access in the U.S., he found that he wasn’t alone in this problem. After hearing stories from everyone from delivery drivers to runners to parents with kids, it became clear that this issue is as universal as it is overlooked.

And so, Throne was born.

Armed with backgrounds in engineering, entrepreneurship, and social impact, our team of co-founders set out to create a public restroom solution that could be available within hours, not years—and was actually pleasant to use. After several iterations and years of testing, we launched our first permanent Throne in March 2023 in Washington, D.C.’s fastest growing neighborhood: Capitol Riverfront.

Today, Thrones can be found across the country in downtown areas, parks, and transit stations. Users from all walks of life love our high standards of cleanliness, accessibility, and intentional use of technology. Our team—now over 100 people—is genuinely excited to provide delightful and dignified places to go, and we can’t wait for you to join us, too.
