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.

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.

Our approach is flexible and imaginative, allowing us to explore many projects. We might be small still, but we're passionate about making better realities – one 'thread' at a time.

Vilima er en digitalt plattform som utvikler og tilbyr spesialpedagogisk verktøy som skal gjøre det spesialpedagogiske arbeidet enklere for ansatte i barnehager og skoler ved å sikre at pålagte arbeidsoppgaver blir utført av høy kvalitet. De pålagte arbeidsoppgaver er i dag en tidstyv, og fratar mye tid som kunne blitt brukt direkte med barna. Arbeidet er personavhengig og det er store variasjoner i kvaliteten. Vilima løser dette ved å kombinere tekniske løsninger (AI) og beste pedagogiske metoder som gjør det enklere å oversette teoretiske konsepter til praktiske handlinger. Den største effekten vi gjør er å bygge teknologi som gjør det mulig for ansatte å bruke mindre tid på planlegging og mer tid på å hjelpe enkelt barn til å utvikle seg til sitt fulle potensial.
