What type one together does

Type One Together is a US-based education and peer-support platform serving families navigating pediatric Type 1 Diabetes. Founded in 2019 by Raquel Baron, the company delivers expert-led digital content, a private community, and a curated marketplace of supplementary services to parents and caregivers of children with T1D. The product surface centers on the Better Together membership ($29/month or $277/year), an expanding library of individual masterclasses priced at $49 each covering topics from Auto Mode and Tandem pump use to nutrition, travel, sick days, gluten-free living, and summer care, plus self-paced courses such as T1D Diagnosis: Made Simple and a 6-week T1D Grandparents Course. The platform is built on off-the-shelf infrastructure (Kajabi for courses, Stan Store and Wix for commerce) rather than proprietary technology.

The business generates revenue through a layered model: recurring subscription revenue from the Better Together membership, transactional revenue from individual masterclass and course purchases, access fees tied to the T1D Babysitter Network (4,000+ sitters nationwide), e-commerce sales of branded physical goods (Diabuddies stuffed animals, T1D coloring books, patches, stickers, gift cards) ranging from $1.99 to $40, ticket revenue from the Team Together in-person events tour, and a higher-tier Better Together PRO offering that bundles 1-1 expert coaching. Distribution is primarily organic, supported by The 108 Podcast (129+ episodes) and a 10K+ Instagram following. The company is bootstrapped with no external funding disclosed, and has launched a partnership with TK.Type 1 through the Never Alone Program to provide complimentary memberships to families who cannot afford the subscription.

Direct peers

• Beyond Type 1: Large nonprofit media and advocacy organization for the Type 1 Diabetes community, offering education programs, community platforms, and disease-awareness content targeted at T1D families and adults. Directly comparable to Type One Together's community and education focus.
• Children with Diabetes: Long-running online community and resource hub for families of children with T1D, including conferences (Friends for Life), educational content, and parent forums. Highly comparable audience and content offering to Type One Together.
• Myabetic: DTC brand designing stylish, diabetes-focused carrying cases, accessories, and lifestyle products for people with T1D and T2D. Directly comparable as a diabetes-focused e-commerce and lifestyle brand serving a similar community.

Broad incumbents

• Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF): The leading global T1D research and advocacy nonprofit, funding research, providing family support resources, and running education programs. Functions as the broad incumbent Type One Together competes against for parent attention and donations.
• diaTribe / diaTribe Learn: Patient-facing diabetes media platform producing educational articles, newsletters, and events for people with diabetes. Comparable in producing accessible T1D education and community content, though broader in scope (T1D and T2D).
• T1D Exchange: Nonprofit research and patient-engagement organization running a T1D patient registry, clinical research, and community programs. Overlaps with Type One Together's community and education mission at a larger institutional scale.
• DiabetesMine: Long-running diabetes patient media outlet (now part of Healthline) producing editorial content, product reviews, and community interviews. Comparable patient-education media model to The 108 Podcast and blog.

Regional players

• College Diabetes Network: Nonprofit providing peer support, resources, and education for young adults with T1D transitioning from pediatric to independent care. Adjacent life-stage peer with overlapping education and community format.

Emerging players

• Connected in Motion: Organization running outdoor adventure-based education programs and community events for adults with T1D. Comparable event-driven community model to Team Together, though focused on adults rather than parents.

Others

• Insulet / Omnipod (patient community programs): Major insulin pump manufacturer that runs patient onboarding education and community programs that overlap with Type One Together's device-specific masterclasses (Auto Mode, etc.). Indirect peer as both shape how T1D families get educated on therapy management.
