At Yobr, we see collaboration between students and companies as a way to bring fresh perspectives and the latest skills to real-world challenges. Companies gain flexible, efficient ways to complete meaningful projects that create real value while discovering new talent. For students, it’s an opportunity to apply their skills, learn, and grow in a professional setting. The problem is that most companies struggle to tap into this potential—they don’t have the time, resources, or know-how to make it work. Yobr is changing that. We’re building a platform that leverages AI to simplify project planning, efficiently match yobs with the right students from our talent base, and support execution with intuitive collaboration tools and tailored AI agents. Since starting in January we have done pilots with known brands like SalMar, SpareBank 1 and Norbit, gaining key insight on how students projects should be run. We've developed our technical solution since August, and are looking to launch a beta of our platform in January 2025. We just closed a Angel round and received Innovation Norway's phase 2 grant, targeting break-even and a seed round in Q2 2025. We are a solid team of builders and creators, 3 being full-time and 3 part-time, based in Oslo and Trondheim. Now we are looking to take this to the next level!

We are an agtech startup driven by a clear mission: to strengthen Swedish agriculture and food production through sharing of agricultural data. Agriculture is currently undergoing a digital revolution, characterized by the use of sensors, connected devices, and data monitoring software. This advancement introduces complex challenges in terms of data privacy, security, and transparency. Data is collected in large amounts, but is locked in silos of individual products and systems. To fully leverage the benefits of this digitalization, creating a platform for effective data sharing is essential. By establishing a robust and secure infrastructure, we enable large-scale data sharing across the agricultural value chain – without compromising privacy or security. Our platform allows stakeholders, from farmers to researchers as well as the industry, to share and access data. We provide Swedish farmers with full control over their data, while also enabling the development of new applications based on data from the platform. A prime example is our climate calculation application, Agrosfär, which simplifies how to measure and report the agricultural sector's carbon footprint. We are a small but dynamic team, well-versed in data science, IT architecture, design, and UX, and in close collaboration with agricultural experts, researchers and farmers. We are here for the long run, backed by the ownership of Lantmännen, LRF -The Swedish Federation of Farmers, Hushållningssällskapet, Växa, HKScan Sweden, and Arla Sweden. The platform, as well as the climate calculation tool Agrosfär, is developed with support from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development.
