Align Technologies Corp. Announces $2.175 Million in Investor Funding
Fast growing New Orleans-based software company hiring all departments
NEW ORLEANS, March 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- New Orleans-based Software as a Service (SaaS) company Align has secured $2.175 million in a Series A round of funding and is actively hiring across software development, project management, marketing and sales positions. A cloud-based business operating system, Align creates accountability among team members and drives daily execution of company priorities.
"Align calms the chaos of daily business operations by providing a framework for focused execution and communication," says CEO Doug Walner.
"This level of investment demonstrates confidence in the company, the product and the market opportunity," he added. New Orleans-based investors account for one-third of the capital raised.
A recent Harvard Business School study found that 85% of businesses never actually execute the plans and strategies that they develop. The reason? "Day-to-day operations blur the big picture. Align fixes that problem by keeping team members hyper-focused on priorities," explains Walner.
Based on proven business management habits and methodologies, the Align platform facilitates daily exposure to quarterly and annual goals, other team member activities, and core company values. The result is heightened alignment and execution of priorities at all levels.
Organized daily and weekly huddles, a paperless one-page strategic plan and cross-departmental information sharing are some of the long-standing best practices facilitated by the software.
Align provides scaling businesses with the framework and structure they need to meet company goals. "So many scaling businesses fall prey to poor process," says Walner. "Our platform provides the tools to implement good business habits on an ongoing basis."
The average Align user spends just 15 minutes per day on the platform. This type of brief yet meaningful daily engagement creates a cadence of accountability.
Align currently has over 8,000 users and is endorsed by CEOs, Certified Business Coaches, and professional organizations. Align is used in over 64 countries around the globe.
Founded in 2012, Align is a cloud-based business operating system that provides an easy-to-use yet powerful framework for scaling companies. Based on proven business methodologies, Align calms the chaos of daily work by keeping employees in sync and focused on accomplishing company priorities.
