2. ABOUT US

3. Nikhil Sharma, MD, Founder and CEO
“I’m Dr. Nikhil Sharma, founder of AlignUs and for 10 years, I
dedicated my life to working with patients with liver failure due to
alcohol or obesity. They suffered from addictions and as part of
their rehabilitation process, I helped them to get to a new liver and
a second chance on life. At a certain point, I realized a pattern -
most of the issues that lead to their addictions were due to
unresolved traumas that occurred in their lives. What if we could
prevent people from suffering major physical health issues by
helping them heal their traumas and improve their mental health?”
Our founder, a physician who experienced personal loss and
addiction, was inspired by his parent’s legacy of giving back to
underprivileged communities. He created a platform that combines
exercise challenges with charitable donations, encouraging
mindfulness, and self care while making a positive impact on the
world. AlignUs is more than just a social media platform, it’s a
community that empowers and inspires the collective members to
achieve sustained emotional fulfillment through self-realization and
altruism in helping create a more connected and harmonious
world.

15. The precursor to the AlignUs app
The YOLO. app levered powerful behavioral science and technology to
connect consumers and non-profits who are equally focused on encouraging
healthy living and community advancement. Using our innovative, easy-to-use
mobile application, a platform where people “grind” (workout) to improve their
heath in an individual or team setting, while giving back to charitable
organizations, we were transforming the donation experience.
