Our story

At our core, we are a collective of creative professionals who care about building great software and enjoying the process along the way.

The Swedish word "aktieägare" means shareholder. When our founder, Shane Parreco discovered this word he was captivated by its potential. Was it a tool or a platform—or could it be something larger, like a team working together with a common goal? In March of 2023, our creative agency/collective was founded with this in mind.

With a team of designers, developers, engineers, product, and marketing folks, our goal is simply to co-create and share in your journey. Everyone we meet has the potential to create something amazing. If you’ve got a great idea, we want to support you in your vision for success.

That’s what aktïga means.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

OUR PHILOSOPHY

W. Edwards Deming

We are inspired by W. Edwards Deming, whose principles of continuous improvement, systems thinking, and human-centered leadership shape how we work every day.

We believe that how we lead, collaborate, and communicate directly impacts the quality of what we build. His influence reminds us that great software isn’t just about code—it’s about people, process, and purpose.

At the heart of our philosophy is the idea of the willing worker and the belief that joy in work isn’t optional—it’s essential.

Triple Bottom Line

Growth and profit are only 1/3 of the equation when we measure success. The impact our business has on our people and the planet as a whole help guide our every decision.

We’re equally focused on profit, people, and the planet. We’ve made this the foundation in our ongoing pursuit of supporting the entrepreneurial spirit of our clients.
