1. Short description RoboConnect is developing an independent, AI-supported platform that helps industrial companies turn tacit and fragmented process knowledge into a clear, decision-relevant automation case — before supplier dialogue begins. 2. The problem Many industrial companies know they need to automate, but struggle to define what should be automated, what is causing the problem and whether the process is ready for investment. The people closest to production often understand the process well, but this knowledge may be spread across operators, engineers and management, poorly documented or mixed with assumptions and missing data. The customer may therefore approach the market with an unclear problem description and incomplete information. System integrators then have to reconstruct the customer’s process understanding and collect missing data before a meaningful solution dialogue can begin. This creates uncertainty, longer clarification phases, weak or difficult-to-compare proposals and projects that stall early. The core problem is not a lack of technology or suppliers. It is that the knowledge needed to make a good early automation decision is often tacit, fragmented and difficult to transfer. 3. The solution RoboConnect starts by understanding the customer’s process, challenges and actual needs. The RoboConnect AI Advisor conducts a guided professional conversation that helps the company describe how production works today, what it wants to improve, which constraints matter and what information is still missing. The AI Advisor brings together information from different parts of the organisation, separates facts from assumptions and uncertainty, identifies knowledge gaps and risks, and turns unclear issues into practical next actions. The result is a shared and structured automation basis that can be developed into a supplier-ready project brief. Relevant projects can then be connected with suitable system integrators, technology suppliers and R&D environments. This gives the customer greater decision confidence and solution providers a better starting point. RoboConnect is not building a generic chatbot. The platform combines a domain-specific workflow, structured project data and knowledge from industrial cases, expert interviews and feedback from customers and automation partners. Over time, this strengthens clarification, project maturation and matching. The first focused area is welding automation and high-mix, low-volume manufacturing. The longer-term ambition is to expand across other automation categories and build a Nordic platform for early-stage automation clarification and matching. 4. Business model and commercial opportunity RoboConnect creates value on both sides of the market. Industrial companies receive a clearer and safer starting point, while automation partners gain access to better-qualified customer opportunities. The current model is based mainly on supplier-side revenue through fees for qualified matches and successful projects. Future revenue streams may include paid AI-assisted readiness reports, supplier subscriptions, premium access and category-specific products. The model is now being validated through pilots and early customer projects. Norway is the validation market, with Sweden as the first intended scale-up market. 5. Why I started RoboConnect The motivation came from repeated conversations with industrial companies, automation experts and system integrators. I saw that many projects became uncertain long before technology was selected. Companies needed a more independent and structured way to understand their own situation before entering a supplier-led process. With a background in research, data analysis and complex problem structuring, combined with further training in programming, databases and AI, I founded RoboConnect to bridge the gap between industrial process knowledge and automation delivery.

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.
