Lattice is an AI-powered PM tool shaped by its community, with every dollar of profit funding education for children and young adults in India.
Lattice isn't built in a vacuum. The people who use it decide how it evolves. Users propose features, discuss ideas, and vote on what gets built next. The roadmap belongs to the community.
This isn't a suggestion box that gets ignored. When the community speaks, the product moves. That's the deal.
Until recently, a model like this wouldn't have been practical. Advances in AI now make it possible to build and evolve a full product — development, design, operations — without traditional salary overhead. Nearly all revenue is profit from day one.
Lattice is built this way right now, and the economics genuinely work. That's what makes this exciting — it's not a pledge that depends on future scale. As the product grows, the model may evolve, but the commitment is to always fund substantially more than it costs to run.
Every dollar of profit from Lattice funds education for children and young adults in India. Not a percentage. Not a pledge that kicks in later. Everything, from day one.
This commitment comes from the founder's personal connection to the cause — over 10 years of supporting education in India. Lattice exists to make that commitment bigger.
Talk is cheap. Lattice publishes monthly revenue and profit numbers in a public Google Sheet so anyone can see exactly where the money goes.
Community feature voting provides full visibility into product direction. You can see what's being built, what's next, and why.
Lattice was created by Jaisen Mathai, founder and product engineer. He spent 7 years at Google as a product manager and has a track record of building community-driven products.
He previously founded Trovebox, an open source photo management project that started as a Kickstarter campaign, grew through its community, and was eventually acquired by Western Digital.
Lattice carries forward the same philosophy: build something genuinely useful, let the community shape it, and put the mission ahead of the margins.
