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.

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.

We're creating a world where it's easy for everyone, anywhere to buy better. SARTH is a one-stop-shop platform gathering the most responsible brands. We curate only the best products, help consumers navigate the sustainable fashion jungle and make ethical fashion accessible to all. Everyday, we buy products that impact people and the planet. But we rarely have the information we need to make positive choices about what to buy. When brands actually do make sustainability claims, it can be hard to tell what’s genuine and what’s greenwash. For those who actually want to purchase better and more consciously it is very difficult to know where to begin, where to look and what to look for. At SARTH, we help consumers drive change through their purchasing power via transparency and evidence from the supply chain and third party certifications and standards. We verify the third party certifications and evaluate the supply chain from tier 4 to tier 1, the brand itself and the design process with circularity in mind. We eliminate greenwashing. We make transparency, traceability and accountability information available for all products on SARTH, so everyone can make informed decisions on facets that impact the environment, social aspects and governance when shopping for clothes. We also inspire, influence and educate consumers in becoming more conscious and how to take better care of the clothes you buy and already own, so that it last longer. It is our opinion that we as retailer have as much responsibility as designers, brands and consumers to create a better tomorrow. Therefore it is our finest job to be the most responsible choice when shopping. Never has it been easier to make the right choices when shopping. At SARTH we don’t sacrifice style nor ethics.

In 2020, we created Hydrosafe after winning the Start-Up Programme by FFE for the idea of protecting hydraulic connections on agricultural machinery against dust and other particles. Since then, we have patented and developed a grip that provides farmers with the ability to identify (colors/ID), handle (grip) and maintain (rubber bellow) their hydraulic hoses/connections without wasting time on cleaning the couplings to prevent leaks. Today, Hydrosafe is the only start-up developing smarter accessories for hydraulic connections on agricultural equipment and construction machinery. As fun and sexy as that might sound, we enjoy aiding farmers and workers all around the world with the ability to become sustainable and efficient in handling and maintaining their hydraulics. The main problem we are solving concerns dust and other particles entering the hydraulic system through the hydraulic connection, causing malfunctions, leaks, downtime etc. Our product solves this at root cause as the dust can no longer reach the connection in the first place. It is designed and manufactured based on great demand from end customers, which is why we set sail to become the innovative suppliers behind smarter handling of hydraulic connections. If you have no clue about the shape, sizes and functions of hydraulic connections, then do not worry. It is quite simple and we did not grow up as farmers. There will be no doubts after you have seen the product in action. At Hydrosafe we are investing ourselves in a healthy and growing environment packed with dedication, honesty and joy.
