Our story
Gather was founded in 2020 when co-founders Rob Urstein and Alex Avery combined their mutual passions for education, technology, and community building. Our team understands that learning doesn’t just happen in a classroom and we have spent the past two years building a software product to meet the unique needs of education institutions. We're excited to empower the world’s most valued institutions to connect with as many people as possible.
