AUTOproff provides software-as-a-service solutions to the professional car market – making it seamless, secure, and more attractive to trade used cars.

Combining AI-native workflows, rapid prototyping, and modern product thinking, we move fast without cutting corners. From early MVPs to production-ready platforms, we focus on execution, clarity, and momentum. The barrier to building software just dropped to near zero. Companies that get this will move faster. People who get this will have a massive edge. We're here to make sure as many as possible get there, practically, not theoretically.

Stack by.me is a social media platform where users can invest together, making investments more engaging and available to non-professionals - especially women. Today, there is a substantial capital gap in Norway and globally. In Norway, the gap is as large as a Norwegian state budget. (which is huge!) - only 20% of the value of Oslo Børs is owned by women today - Women invest 63% less than men, on average - while we only make 11% less - At the same time, 86% of all min. pension receivers are women, so women should be investing more - not less! Why is that? Women tell us - they don´t feel like they have enough knowledge - they don´t know who to ask for help Through the Stack-app, we give them the network to learn from and discuss investments - in an easy and fun way.

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.
