Software · AI · CTO services
A small senior team for startups and growing companies in the Nordics and the Baltics, led by a former FinTech CTO. Products built to last, AI that does real work, and CTO-level guidance when you need it.
Three ways to work with us. Fixed scope where possible, so you know the cost before we start.
From idea to a working product in production. We plan the scope with you, build it with a senior team, and leave code and documentation your own engineers can take over.
Fixed-price project, from €15,000
We set up AI that works with your documents, systems and tools, on your own servers if your data must stay in-house. We write the rules your team works by. A working setup in weeks, not a strategy deck.
Fixed-price project, from €8,000
For companies without a full-time CTO: technical strategy, architecture, vendor and hiring decisions, and a second opinion before the expensive ones.
Monthly retainer, from €2,500 per month
Four examples of what we set up. Each one starts as a small pilot on your real data.
Before Staff ask colleagues or search shared folders.
After They ask the AI and get an answer with a link to the source document.
Before Someone copies orders and invoices from emails and PDFs into the system.
After AI reads them and prepares the entry in your accounting or ERP system (e.g. Fortnox or Visma). A person checks and approves.
Before A manager spends hours collecting numbers every week.
After The report is drafted from your data every Monday. You review it and send it.
Before Everyone uses AI differently, and nobody checks the result.
After Shared AI tools with team rules, code review and documentation built in.
We can run open AI models on your own servers, so your documents never leave your company. Where your rules allow cloud AI, we use Claude under a data processing agreement.
You describe the problem. We tell you honestly if we can help.
A paid week to map the work, from €2,000. You get a fixed price and a timeline.
A short written update every week and a demo of working software.
Code, documentation and decisions handed to your team. Support if you want it.
A written plan, a fixed price and a timeline for your product. Yours to keep, whoever builds it.
Where AI saves time in your company, what it costs, and what data risks to handle first.
Projects led by our founder, mostly for Swedish companies.

Outcome New retail chains can be added without cost growing at the same rate.
ProblemEvery new retail chain raised compute cost, and every new store needed manual setup.
SolutionA rewritten calculation pipeline, automated store onboarding, and AI-vision and demand-forecast prototypes.
Outcome An MVP used by paying clients.
ProblemA prototype and customer feedback, but no product to sell.
SolutionData collection from clients, external services and competitor sites, and product-range analytics.
ASCo is led by Ansis Bērziņš. 14 years in software, much of it in banking and lending. CTO and tech lead in startups, building platforms from zero to revenue.
The core team includes a full-stack engineer and a data scientist. For larger projects we add trusted senior engineers from our network. We work mostly in writing: clear plans, every decision recorded, and a record you can hand to the next engineer.
