Our Story
Three Friends Who Love Software, Technology, and Experiments
3Together was founded by three friends who previously worked together designing and building software for the financial and insurance benefits industries. After each taking some time off, we reunited in 2020 to create a new type of company and a new generation of software products.
We are a collection of experimenters. We love building and iterating and testing. We enjoy tinkering with new technologies and using them to bring our ideas to life. We are a product company. With a focus on the financial and healthcare industries, each of our products are born from a core focus: to help our users make better decisions and, ultimately, live better lives.
We’re self-funded and privately held, so we don’t have pressure from professional or public investors. This freedom allows us to focus on long-term solutions instead of short-term gains.
We are collaborators. We believe good ideas become great products by listening to and working with users and partners. We are better together.
