Multiple was born in response to the overwhelming challenges that come with raising a child with autism. Our founder, Dan, experienced just that—without any dedicated learning tools, his son struggled to engage in the classroom.
So, Dan co-founded TeachTown, a digital education platform that combines an online curriculum, world-class animation, and traditional instructional materials for children with autism. TeachTown now serves over 50,000 students every month in over 1,000 school districts.
After TeachTown was sold in one of the industry’s largest exits to date, Dan redirected his passionate energy toward a new problem: autism innovation lacks the critical support it needs to power positive change. The solution is Multiple—it stands for the greater impact that we can make when we all create together.
Dan Feshbach is a social entrepreneur and the founder of Multiple, an organization dedicated to fostering innovation in autism technology.

Building on this success, Feshbach established Multiple to catalyze innovation in the autism community by connecting startups, entrepreneurs, and investors. His efforts continue to impact the lives of neurodiverse individuals by advancing cutting-edge autism solutions.
