Togetherhood
Togetherhood is a New York-based enrichment platform that connects schools, community organizations and families with vetted, independent instructors who teach courses beyond the standard curriculum - cooking, coding, theater, martial arts, chess, music and more. Born from pandemic-era learning pods, the company removes the operational headache of vendor management, vetting, scheduling and payments so schools get extraordinary programming and passionate teaching artists get steady, well-supported work.
Ephraim Luft
Ephraim Luft is the co-founder and CEO of Togetherhood, a New York-based platform that helps schools, residential buildings and community spaces source, schedule and manage high-quality enrichment programs taught by vetted independent teaching artists and coaches. He built the company with his wife Danielle after pandemic remote learning collapsed for their own family in 2020, prompting them to rent space, hire teachers and build a classroom from scratch. Before Togetherhood, Ephraim was Chief Product Officer at luxury fashion platform Farfetch, where he sat on the executive board through its roughly $7B IPO, and earlier co-founded and led Circle of Moms, a parenting social network acquired by POPSUGAR in 2012. He holds a B.S. in Computer Science from Stanford and an MBA from Harvard Business School.
