About us
Aligned is a software studio founded in 2021 by Jonatan Littke, a Swedish serial entrepreneur, who moved to Silicon Valley with a simple mission: to help reshape the tech industry towards more meaningful impact — moving beyond addictive, extractive products and toward solutions that address the planet's most urgent challenges.
About
We're headquartered in Palo Alto, just south of San Francisco. Our team members work remotely, with 90% based in the U.S. and Canada. This gives us access to top talent, without sacrificing team alignment across timezones.
What Makes Us Different
We're mission-first. We don't work with everyone. We choose projects where we believe in and can honor your mission and match our team's expertise to the problems you're solving—whether that's transforming K-12 education, advancing women's health, or building the next essential SaaS platform.
We're people-first and human-centered. You'll know exactly who's building your product. A dedicated team of senior engineers, designers, and product managers becomes an extension of your team, starting with deep user research to understand what your customers actually need. Our proprietary matching process ensures you get the right people with the right skills for your specific challenge.
We bring the experience to know when to move fast and when to build for scale. With architectural expertise honed across dozens of companies, we understand the trade-offs. Sometimes you need to optimize for speed. Sometimes you need to build foundations that won't break under growth. Our strategic product thinking means we guide you toward the right choice for your business stage, preventing costly rewrites while keeping momentum high.
