More than 10 years of experience - from pot to plate The maiden voyage of "M/S Donna" started deep in the Varanger fjord in early 2010, in Nesseby / Unjárga, Finnmark. After short calls at Vardø and Mehamn, we ended up at North Cape where we decided to live and become true fishermen with a lot of help from the local and very experienced fishermen. We fished for cod, pollock, haddock, and king crab on "M/S Donna" and later also on "M/S Dunderdonna" in the Porsanger fjord. During this time we also worked at different fish factories. The fishery ended in 2014. Knowing half of the king crabs were considered waste, I knew there was great potential and a better way of doing things - More sustainable and more circular. In 2016 I decided to bring MS Donna back to life with all the good things, except fishing - this time out from Oslo. Since then we have delivered premium products to some of the world's best restaurants. We are working for responsible consumption and production, decent work and economic growth, innovation, climate action, and partnership.

What we do Priceagent is a self-serve pricing intelligence platform that allows teams to test and understand exactly what buyers are truly willing to pay; in real time. Powered by our proprietary Predictive Demand Engine™ and a global panel of 300M+ verified consumers, we turn raw market signals into clear demand and revenue curves. Whether you are launching a new feature, optimizing subscription tiers, or defending margins against inflation, Priceagent provides the data-driven foundation to price with precision, not guesswork. The Problem Most companies set prices based on internal margins, competitor moves, or "gut feeling." This guesswork leads to missed revenue, unnecessary discounting, and internal "opinion battles" between product and sales teams. While traditional market research exists, it is often too slow, too expensive, and too abstract—taking months and six-figure budgets to deliver static reports that are outdated the moment they arrive. Why it’s worth solving Pricing is the most powerful lever for growth, yet it is often the least understood. We believe that every team—from Product and Marketing to Sales and Leadership—deserves a "single source of truth" for pricing. Born from the deep expertise of our sister company, Atenga Insights, we have digitized over a decade of pricing logic into a platform that makes research-grade insights instant and accessible. We help companies find their "stable zones" for growth, identify the specific features that justify a premium, and stop leaving money on the table. We’re here to ensure your price doesn’t just compete—it wins.
