VENTURE FACTORYVenture Factory was founded in the fall of 2012 in Oslo, Norway with a straightforward goal: turning ideas into business. Our core competence is e-commerce, technology, and performance marketing. We use our skills to start new companies together with strategic partners, other entrepreneurs, or within our own organization. Since then we’ve involved ourselves in a range of ideas. Some have blossomed and turned into prosperous businesses, while others have been challenging and ultimately put to rest. We believe our understanding of technology and online marketing combined with a unique domain insight is the recipe for success and therefore we partner up with entrepreneurs or larger corporations to pursue new business opportunities. Our portfolio consists of a mix of businesses. Some are consultancies where external clients benefit from our competence and others are tech or e-commerce ventures that we have started alone or together with partners. Do you have a great idea you want to discuss with us? Please email us at contact@venturefactory.noVenture Factory offices are located centrally in Oslo and our development team is located in Odesa, Ukraine. We are always on the lookout for great talent both in Odessa and Oslo, so email us at contact@venturefactory.no if you think you are a good match.

Goscore - a fair human credit scoring company. We help banks to increase creditworthy customers by as much as 19% while reducing default rates by as much as 49%. Banks can not only see «can» consumers repay a loan, but «will» they do that. Unlike other credit reference agencies, who rely on outdated tax reports, we leverage up-to-date transactional data to build a real-time comprehensive financial profile. Like many Europeans, we have experienced that traditional credit scoring is unfair and does not consider you creditworthy, even if: - you are a successful entrepreneur, - a blogger with a million subscribers, - decide to get your first credit card, or - you moved from one country to another. So, goscore brings a new golden standard of fair human credit scoring for the EU.

The innovation ecosystem plays a crucial role in the success of startups, but these ecosystems are facing operational and strategic obstacles that limit their potential. The operational difficulties include an inability to effectively support startups leading to high failure rates, low engagement from startups, and resource-intensive reporting processes. On the strategic front, innovation ecosystems face intense competition and struggle to scale their efforts and establish sustainable business models, which often rely heavily on government funding. These challenges impact a wide range of players in the ecosystem, including incubators, accelerators, universities, and enterprise innovation departments. Addressing these challenges can lead to a thriving startup ecosystem, boosting economic growth and driving progress. By investing in the solution of these significant problems, the innovation ecosystem has the potential to unleash its full potential and drive positive change.

Fishby is a recreational sport fishings industry's very own "Google". Through our platform, a fisherman can buy ANY fishing permit in Norway (for now), even those that don't exist yet. The best thing is that we can do it WITHOUT needing the landowner/permit seller to pre-register on the platform or even know about us. It is a trading channel between the fisherman and landowner, and It is as simple as sending a "friend`s request" on Facebook. However, here you are not making friends, you are asking people if you are allowed to fish on their land and for what price.

Restarters Norway jobber for å skape en kultur for reparasjon av elektronikk i Norge, basert på frivillighet, delingskultur og bærekraft. Vi engasjerer og inspirerer folk og beslutningstakere gjennom å spre konseptet Fiksefest for elektronikk, og ved å sette bærekraftig forbruk av elektronikk på den offentlige agendaen. Vi er en del av et internasjonalt Restarters-nettverk som har vokst ut av Londonbaserte The Restart Project. Nordmenn ligger på Europatoppen når det gjelder bruk og kast av elektronikk, og dette har store klima- og miljømessige konsekvenser. Ved å jobbe praktisk og lokalt, spre glede og mestring knyttet til reparasjon ønsker vi å endre folks forhold til elektronikk, hvordan vi setter pris på og tar vare på den. På en Fiksefest utforsker og reparerer vi elektronikken sammen, lærer av hverandre og har det gøy med å la den leve lenger. Gjennom arrangementene sprer vi derfor nysgjerrighet og ingeniørferdigheter, i tillegg til glede knyttet til å ta vare på elektronikken vår.
