What Together does

Together (legally Together (US) Inc., operating from Toronto, Canada) is an enterprise mentorship software company founded in 2018 and acquired by Absorb Software in December 2024. The platform provides corporate mentorship management software that pairs mentors and mentees using an AI-powered matching algorithm with configurable weighted questionnaires, hard rules (such as reporting-line and time-zone exclusions), HRIS data enrichment, and three matching modes (admin-led, participant-led, auto-matching). The vendor reports a 98% match satisfaction rate and has deployed the platform at scale, including a documented program of 28,000 employees. The product surface has expanded beyond traditional 1:1 mentorship into a multi-module suite covering Colleague Connect (peer-to-peer learning), Coffee Chats (roulette-style virtual networking), Development Programs, Events, Badges & Certificates, and Reporting & Surveys. Native integrations with Microsoft Teams, Slack, Zoom, Google Calendar, Workday, BambooHR, and Namely underpin enterprise deployment.

The business operates as a B2B SaaS subscription with quote-based annual pricing, a demo-led direct sales motion, and a horizontal customer base spanning HR, Learning & Development, Department Leads, and Community Managers. Public logos include HubSpot, Avison Young, First Horizon, Ferguson, NetApp, Randstad, Louisiana Department of Health, Amplify, Activision, Marqeta, Heineken, Discovery Channel, Kellogg's, and Lightspeed, demonstrating traction across enterprise, mid-market, and government segments. Following the December 2024 acquisition by Absorb Software, Together's mentoring technology has been embedded natively inside Absorb LMS, creating the first LMS to ship full-scale mentoring and coaching; the integration reached general availability in October 2025. The platform holds SOC 2 Type 2 certification and supports SAML/SSO, addressing enterprise security and compliance requirements.

Together had raised approximately $6.5 million in external capital (a $100K round in 2018, a $1.4M seed in 2019 including Y Combinator participation, and a $5.0M round in December 2021 led by AltaIR Capital). The company now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Absorb Software, distributing through both direct enterprise sales and the Absorb LMS channel, with an indirect corporate venturing footprint signaled by participation in Emergent's $70M Series B in January 2026. Headcount is reported at 11-50, and the company maintains a content-and-community marketing engine including a 36,413+-subscriber HR/L&D newsletter and the Mentorship Guild community.

Core offering

Together provides a corporate mentorship management platform that uses an AI-powered matching algorithm to pair mentors and mentees for traditional, peer-to-peer, and group mentoring programs. The product suite includes Mentorship, Colleague Connect, Coffee Chats, Development Programs, and supporting tools (Matching, Events, Badges & Certificates, Reporting & Surveys), with native integrations into Microsoft Teams, Slack, Zoom, Google Calendar, and major HRIS systems. Following its December 2024 acquisition by Absorb Software, Together's mentoring capabilities are also embedded within the Absorb LMS as the first learning management system to incorporate full-scale mentoring.

Product overview

Together is a mentorship software platform offering a unified ecosystem of employee development products. The core portfolio includes Mentorship (traditional 1:1 mentor-mentee matching), Colleague Connect (peer-to-peer learning), and Coffee Chats (virtual networking via roulette-style matching). Supporting tools include a Matching Algorithm, Events, Content and Resources, Emails & Comms, Tasks, Badges & Certificates, and Reporting & Surveys. In December 2024, Together was acquired by Absorb Software, whose Absorb LMS platform now integrates Together's mentoring capabilities directly into the learning management system, combining formal eLearning with relationship-driven development under a single platform.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• EdCast: EdCast is an enterprise learning and skill-development platform with mentoring, coaching, and content aggregation modules. As a broad incumbent, it overlaps with Together's category and competes for HR/L&D budget at large enterprises.
• Degreed: Degreed is a learning experience platform (LXP) used by large enterprises to deliver formal and social learning. It is comparable to Together's expanded offering, particularly after the Absorb integration, in addressing enterprise L&D skill development and content curation.
• Cornerstone OnDemand: Cornerstone is a large enterprise talent and learning platform with content, LMS, and increasingly mentoring/coaching capabilities. It competes with Together at the broader learning and development portfolio level rather than as a specialist mentor-matching tool.
• Workday Learning: Workday Learning is the LMS module of the Workday HCM suite, increasingly adding mentoring and career development features. As a broad incumbent, it represents both an integration partner for Together and a competitive risk if it deepens native mentorship functionality.
• Microsoft Viva: Microsoft Viva is a Microsoft 365-based employee experience platform with learning, knowledge, and connection modules. Together integrates with Teams, but Viva represents a broad incumbent alternative for HR buyers seeking engagement and development tooling.
• ADP Workforce Now: ADP Workforce Now offers HR, talent, and learning modules to mid-market and enterprise employers. While not a pure-play mentorship vendor, it competes indirectly with Together by absorbing development features into broader workforce suites.

Direct peers

• Insala: Insala provides mentoring, coaching, and talent development software to enterprises. It targets the same HR/L&D buyers as Together with comparable matching, program management, and reporting capabilities.
• MentorcliQ: MentorcliQ is a dedicated enterprise mentorship software platform offering mentor matching, programs, and analytics. It is the most direct competitor to Together in the horizontal mentorship category, serving similar HR/L&D buyers with comparable SaaS subscriptions.
• Chronus: Chronus (formerly known as Mentorloop) is a mentorship platform that matches mentees with mentors and supports enterprise programs. It competes head-to-head with Together for HR/L&D budget and shares the same horizontal SaaS go-to-market motion.

Emerging players

• Qooper: Qooper is a mentoring and learning platform targeting enterprises and academic institutions with AI-based matching. It is an emerging specialist competitor with comparable mentor-mentee matching functionality and serves smaller enterprises than Together.
