Company mission
Alignable's mission is to bring together small business owners from across the globe to help them gain competitive advantage so they can succeed in their business.
Our take
Building and maintaining a small business is no easy task, especially in more turbulent macroeconomic conditions. As many small businesses face an uncertain future, Alignable supplies a solution for owners to build stronger relationships with other SMBs, and support each other's endeavours.
Put simply, Alignable is a social network for small business owners. It boasts 8 million users, making it the largest SMB referral network in the world, and creates value by enabling users to generate and share leads, build relationships and offer advice to one another.
Lately, it seems Alignable has been focussed on expansion, making efforts to scale its workforce and grow its outreach and user base. With such a unique offering, the company has a clear opportunity for impact as well as the chance to consolidate its market lead.

Company values
- 🚴♀️ Enjoy The Journey: We are passionate about our mission to help small businesses and make an impact. But we don't take ourselves too seriously. We understand the power of building relationships and we know our enthusiasm is contagious. We celebrate our customers, our team, and key moments in our journey
- 👥 Be Different Together: We know that our differences in experiences, viewpoints, and identities make us better. We create a space where everyone feels comfortable showing up as their truest selves. We seek diverse perspectives and work to disconfirm our beliefs
- 💪 Be Stronger Together: We combine our strengths and work together on shared goals and build trusted relationships with our teams and customers. We learn from each other to create better outcomes. We treat everyone as a partner and are good partners ourselves - no egos welcome
- 🤔 Exercise Excellent Judgement: We turn knowledge into understanding based on equal parts data and intuition. We think strategically, make decisions collaboratively and know where to focus our efforts - for today and tomorrow
- 😀 Profound Bias For Action: Speed matters in business. Many decisions and actions are reversible and do not need extensive study. We value calculated risk taking while avoiding one way doors
- 😁 Act Like An Owner: Everyone at Alignable acts like an owner because they are. We proactively act on behalf of the entire company and our customers not just for ourselves or team. There’s no passing the buck and we never say, “that’s not my job"
- ⛹️♂️ Change The Game: We start with first principles, assume nothing is impossible, and go after 10x outcomes relentlessly like an underdog. We create and communicate a bold direction that paves the road and inspires results. We're always looking around corners for ways to better serve our customers
- ♾ Adapt & Evolve: We accept that we won’t be right every time and learn from what doesn’t work as well as what does. We evolve as we go and seek out honest feedback along the way. We create an environment where people feel safe to admit failure and lean into learning
- 👩🍳 Be Customer Obsessed: We believe successful small business owners strengthen relationships, foster belonging, and improve the quality of life for everyone. We're obsessed with helping small businesses thrive. We work vigorously to earn and keep customer trust when deciding what to work on and how to do it
