Company mission

Together's mission is to help people learn together.

Our take

Corporate mentoring offers a host of benefits for businesses, ranging from improved productivity to greater diversity in leadership. Proven to be one of the most effective ways to improve both employee retention and performance, it is becoming more clear that such programs are at the heart of an effective workforce. It is no surprise, then, that the corporate e-learning market is predicted to top $37.5 billion by 2025.

Within this market, Together is looking to become the best way for organizations to connect their employees to learn from one another. Founded in 2018, its platform manages the entire mentorship lifecycle from registration to reporting, making it easy to implement and administer a best practice mentorship program.

Together's early growth has been highly impressive, and it has already formed partnerships with big companies like Heineken, Reddit and 7-Eleven. This has attracted big investor interest. Following key funding, Together is focusing on product development and expansion of its team.

Company values

  • It's a marathon not a sprint - While we’re an effective and efficient team, we think that burnout stinks. Having balanced work is important to us
  • Talk to Customers, Ship Things - At Y Combinator, we got this advice and it stuck. It's the two things we prioritize doing well to keep us customer focused and always growing
  • Aim for the 80/20 - We believe that oftentimes 80% of results can be achieved with 20% of the work, which stems from the Pareto Principle. We like to bring this attitude to building our company, so we can heartily prioritize what needs to get done.
  • Learn together - As a learning focused company, we build in opportunities for our team to learn too. We have a culture of candid feedback, peer mentorship, and touchpoints like town halls, kickoffs, cross functional projects, and briefs to teach and learn from each other
  • Maybe there's a world where... - We like ideas that have impact. We're open and work together to create a safe environment for new ideas to thrive. Being a small team, there's plenty of room to jump in and influence decisions that impact our company trajectory
