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.

Morescope is a sustainability intelligence platform that helps companies turn complex climate data into actionable insights. We solve the problem many organizations face today: they want to reduce their environmental impact, but lack the tools, data, and clarity to make informed decisions.

Morescope addresses this by offering a platform that automates emissions data collection, ensures compliance with regulations, and provides intuitive dashboards for tracking progress. Our goal is to empower companies to understand their footprint in real-time and take measurable steps toward reducing it — not just for reporting, but for real change. We believe the path to a sustainable future starts with better insight, and we’re here to make that insight accessible, reliable, and actionable for everyone.

Hansen og Holm Arkitekter AS er et Oslo-basert arkitektkontor som hjelper huseiere og eiendomsbesittere med å få byggeprosjektene sine godkjent og gjennomført. Teamet spesialiserer seg på byggesøknader og de tekniske tegningene som følger med — alt fra mindre tilbygg og garasjer til loftsombygging, kjellerrenovering og bruksendringer. Det som skiller teamet fra andre, er bakgrunnen deres: flere av dem har tidligere jobbet som saksbehandlere i kommunal byggesaksbehandling, så de vet nøyaktig hva lokale myndigheter ser etter i en søknad. Dette gjenspeiles i måten de jobber på: tydelig kommunikasjon, komplette innsendelser og en prosess bygget for å unngå den frem-og-tilbake-korrespondansen som vanligvis forsinker byggesaksbehandlingen. Firmaet opererer fra tre kontorer i Oslo, Bergen og Fredrikstad, og påtar seg prosjekter i alle Norges kommuner. De fleste kundene er private huseiere som jobber med tilbygg, ombygging eller fradeling av tomt, men teamet bistår også med større boligprosjekter. Hver nye henvendelse starter med en gratis og uforpliktende vurdering, samt et skriftlig tilbud for tegninger og/eller byggesøknad.

We aim to simplify how employees and key resources can gain ownership and take part of the value created within a company. All companies are different. And the incentive scheme for one company might not suit the next. An incentive program should not be “just a document” signed by an employee and stored in a drawer. A successful incentive program is built around its ability to generate the feeling of ownership and motivation, and its ability to align the interests of the employees with those of the owners. Through our software and expertise we assist management, founders and companies to achieve their optimal incentive scheme. We believe in ownership and its inherent motivational effect, and wish to enable more companies with powerful tools in order to achieve this.

Matezy is a co-living platform that solves three problems every person in shared housing faces — but that no single product currently addresses together. Finding a compatible roommate today means scrolling through Facebook groups, TikTok and Finn.no ads with no personality filtering and no verification. The result is conflict and instability. Once you move in, managing shared finances is equally broken. Rent splits and shared bills are tracked across WhatsApp messages and Excel sheets. Money disappears and people argue. On top of that, rental contracts and deposits are handled without proper tools. Matezy solves all three in one app. Users find compatible roommates through a personality-based matching system — think Tinder for co-living. Once matched, they manage shared expenses and communication through a built-in household dashboard. Rent payments, digital contracts, and deposit handling are managed directly in the app. There are approximately 600,000 people living in shared housing in Norway alone, and hundreds of millions worldwide. No product currently owns this space.
