What ALStogether does

ALStogether operates an online Slack-based peer support community for people living with ALS (pALS) and their caregivers (cALS), founded in 2024 by ALS advocate Brooke Eby. The platform provides dedicated Slack channels organized around topics including genetic variants, veterans, and general support, enabling real-time communication about clinical trials, adaptive equipment, and caregiving strategies — addressing the fragmentation of existing ALS resources and the need for instant peer connections given the disease's rapid progression. In February 2026, ALStogether was integrated into the ALS Network, a California-based nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization (EIN 95-4163338), to expand its digital peer support, care resource, advocacy, and research participation offerings nationwide; founder Brooke Eby remains actively involved.

The platform's core technology is a Slack workspace, distributed via invitation link and self-serve onboarding, with users accessing it through Slack's desktop and mobile applications. The proprietary technical differentiator is Eyegaze Mode, an experimental accessibility layer that reconfigures Slack's interface for users with eyetracking devices and head mice, featuring larger buttons, a simplified layout, hamburger-menu navigation, and the elimination of hover-hidden elements. The company maintains 1-10 employees and operates from within the ALS Network's organizational structure.

ALStogether's business model is a freemium, donation-funded nonprofit model. The platform is offered at no cost to eligible users (individuals with a confirmed ALS diagnosis or their caregivers), and all economic support flows through tax-deductible contributions to the ALS Network parent organization. Go-to-market is community-led, relying on word-of-mouth within the ALS community, healthcare provider referrals, and the ALS Network's national outreach infrastructure. There are no paid tiers, no advertising, and no data monetization.
