Bareen began as a passionate project created by four friends who shared a common frustration: the challenge of finding t-shirts that combined comfort, style, and high quality at an affordable price. To solve this problem, they took matters into their own hands to create their own designs – and that’s how Bareen was born. Since then, Bareen has evolved into a recognized fashion brand and sports community. We focus on creating versatile and functional designs – from everyday essentials to athleisure wear – without compromising on quality, comfort, or style. Although we have expanded our collection beyond just t-shirts, each piece is crafted with the same passion and attention to detail that formed the foundation of Bareen.

Cobrief is developing an AI-powered public procurement platform to help businesses across all industries find, evaluate, and win government tenders — replacing manual, time-consuming bid processes with intelligent automation that acts like having an extra colleague on the team. Public procurement represents over 800 billion NOK annually in Norway alone, yet the average government tender receives only around 3–5 bids. In nearly 20% of tenders, only one or zero suppliers submit a bid. The reason: tender data is scattered across closed platforms, the process is complex, and small businesses lack the resources to keep up. Suppliers can't find the opportunities, or give up because the process is too complicated. The result is less competition, worse deals for taxpayers, and lost revenue for businesses that could have won. Cobrief aggregates public tenders from procurement databases across Scandinavia, Finland, and Germany — including Doffin, TED, Udbud, and Hilma — into a single searchable platform. AI-powered matching scores every opportunity against each company's profile, sending relevant alerts via email, Slack, or Teams. When a team decides to bid, an AI writing module drafts proposal responses from a knowledge base of past submissions. Automated price sheet filling pulls from product catalogs, and CV matching identifies the right personnel. A Bid Manager Agent provides autonomous support throughout the entire process — functioning as an AI colleague from evaluation to submission. Teams collaborate in shared workspaces with task boards, deadline calendars, and role-based access. Used by 1,500+ companies, with a free plan to get started. The founders experienced firsthand how broken the public procurement process is for suppliers. Tender data that should be freely and directly accessible by law is in practice locked behind commercial platforms, creating unnecessary barriers to competition. They saw that businesses — especially SMBs — were missing out on opportunities worth billions simply because the system was too opaque and complex. Cobrief was built to fix that: make public tenders accessible, understandable, and winnable for every business. Beyond the product, the team is actively advocating for open procurement data in Norway through anbudsdata.no, pushing for systemic change so that public tender data is truly open — not just in theory, but in practice.

We are enabling true automated drone fleets by introducing infrastructure, which is so far missing entirely. It is a compact, multi-use and patent pending docking station / nest for fleets of drones. Currently other companies are focused on "drone-in-a-box" solutions, so this will change the landscape as fleets of drones are needed. It is just too slow/costly/inefficient/cumbersome to manage everything manually or having a field of boxes for fleets.
