About Together Software’s mission:

Hi, I’m Nathan, cofounder at Together Software. Learning at work is broken, especially at large or remote companies where employees don’t sit side by side anymore. Together matches employees with other colleagues they would have never otherwise met before, for learning, mentorship and networking. Think of it as peer-to-peer learning. Organizations like the United Nations, Airbnb, the NFL, Disney and 7-11 use us to run mentoring programs to up-skill their employees. 

Our mission is to help every employee find a peer, mentor or expert at their company to learn from.

We are growing quickly and have a rockstar team of 25. Our investors are the same ones that invested in Slack, Coinbase, and Instacart. We launched through Y Combinator in Summer 2019. To learn more about how and why we started Together Software, you can read here.
