Fronted AS

Fronted helps companies recruit, employ, and pay global talent — fast, compliant, and without the usual hassle. Hiring internationally should open doors, not slow companies down. Yet most organisations face the same challenges when they expand across borders: roles stay open for months, local salary structures become unsustainable, compliance feels risky and unclear, and teams are assembled through a maze of vendors, tools, and handoffs. Recruiters focus on candidates. Employer-of-Record providers focus on compliance. Payroll vendors handle payments. Consultants offer advice. Each piece exists in isolation — and no one owns the full system. That’s because global hiring isn’t just a legal problem or a payroll problem. It’s a systems problem. Fronted was built to solve that. Fronted is the Global Talent OS — a single system companies use to build, employ, and run global teams. We bring together everything required to scale internationally into one clear, connected platform, backed by one partner. Our approach combines: Precision recruitment: We help companies hire the right people in the right markets, with a focus on long-term performance rather than short-term placement. Nordic-grade compliant workforce management: Employment structures designed to meet local regulations, reduce risk, and stay reliable as companies grow across borders. Payroll and benefits: Accurate, compliant payroll and locally appropriate benefits, handled in one system and aligned with each country’s requirements. Ongoing team stability: Support that goes beyond hiring to help teams stay engaged, productive, and sustainable over time. All of this is built with a Nordic mindset: clarity over complexity, trust over control, and responsible scaling over quick fixes. Fronted enables companies to move beyond borders without losing speed, control, or confidence — turning global hiring from a fragmented process into a system that simply works.

Billify

At Billify, we are building a professional invoice and receipt generator designed specifically for freelancers, entrepreneurs, and small businesses who need a fast, simple, and professional way to handle their billing. Every day, millions of independent professionals struggle with invoicing. They either waste hours formatting Word or Excel templates, or they overpay for complex accounting software that was never designed for them. The result? Lost time, delayed payments, and a lack of professional credibility with clients. In Europe and the U.S. alone, more than 50 million freelancers face this problem on a regular basis — a massive market that continues to grow as the freelance economy expands. Billify exists to solve this problem. Our product allows users to create invoices in under 60 seconds, with sleek, customizable templates that look professional and inspire confidence. Receipts, payment tracking, and client management are integrated into a single, intuitive workflow. Unlike traditional accounting tools, Billify doesn’t overwhelm users with unnecessary features — instead, we focus on speed, simplicity, and design. Our “secret sauce” is the ability to combine professional output with an effortless user experience that anyone can master instantly. The motivation behind Billify comes from our own frustration as entrepreneurs. We’ve seen first-hand how administrative tasks eat up valuable time that should be spent growing a business. We know the stress of chasing payments and the embarrassment of sending poorly formatted invoices. That’s why we’re committed to building the easiest and most accessible invoicing solution on the market. We believe that by eliminating unnecessary complexity, we can help entrepreneurs save time, get paid faster, and focus on what they do best. Now, we’re looking for a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to join us on this journey. As CTO, you won’t just be writing code — you’ll be shaping the future of the product and the company. You’ll help us scale Billify into a trusted global brand for freelancers and small businesses. You’ll have ownership over the technology roadmap, lead development, and ensure we continue to deliver a product that is reliable, secure, and a joy to use. This is an opportunity to join at an early stage and make a lasting impact. If you’re passionate about building simple tools that solve real problems, if you thrive on innovation and want to help millions of entrepreneurs succeed, then we’d love to talk with you.

Healthy EATS

Healthy EATS is a healthy fast food start-up. Using innovative technology, the company will make healthy eating easier and more available for the Norwegian population. Their unique concept is built on efficiency, quality, and sustainability. The dishes are produced in cooperation with award-winning chefs and are sold to the customers through unmanned pick-up stations. While there are a lot of different providers of fast-food in Norway, finding a healthy fast-food alternative is harder than one should think. Especially if you are interested in a healthy, fast and affordable meal, the alternatives are few, and you will often end up having to choose two of the three criterias (e.g. fast and affordable, but unhealthy). Healthy EATS is going to change the perception that healthy food cannot be both affordable and fast, by changing the way the food is distributed to the consumer - cutting all waiting time. This will be done by replacing the traditional fast-food restaurants with our high-tech, unmanned pick-up points. These pick-up points will be available all around the city and allow the customer to access the food instantly, paying through our mobile app or by credit card.
