3 Spin-offs and Counting

We build internal tools that scale into standalone companies, becoming major revenue drivers across our portfolio.

How we work

Adopt Early.
Build For The Future.

We turn technology into a competitive advantage by focusing on real impact over hype.

Our Tech Leads own both strategy and execution, ensuring speed without bureaucratic friction. By compounding insights across our portfolio, we reuse what works and turn recurring challenges into scalable solutions.

01 · Technology as a real advantage

We use technology as a competitive advantage. By exploring emerging trends early, we separate hype from real impact and apply what genuinely moves the needle for our companies.

We avoid long, rigid processes. Instead, we choose the tools and approaches that get us to meaningful outcomes faster. Every technology decision is intentional, selected not for novelty, but for its ability to deliver real, measurable business value today.

02 · Leaders with skin in the game

Our tech leads own both the strategy and the hands-on delivery of the initiatives we bring to life. This direct ownership creates real accountability and true skin in the game.

The result is a uniquely well-rounded toolbox of experience, preparing our leaders to tackle complex challenges today and adapt confidently to those of tomorrow.

03 · Cross-portfolio insight

Our shared experience across multiple companies gives us a unique cross-portfolio perspective on technology choices, UX flows, tracking, and conversion across all digital surfaces. This insight allows us to identify what works.

All solutions are designed with integration in mind, making it easy to connect with third-party tools and evolving ecosystems. The result is a compounding advantage: faster execution, better experiences, and technology that consistently drives real business impact.

04 · Reuse that scales

By reusing proven components, patterns, and interactions, we create strong synergies that let us move faster while delivering higher-quality solutions at lower cost. When a challenge is big or recurring enough, we don't just solve it once; we turn it into a scalable spin-off that benefits the entire group.

What We Build

We craft digital products, internal platforms, and data foundations that help companies move faster and serve customers better.

Customer Products

We design and build best-in-class consumer experiences across mobile and web, from marketplaces and loyalty programs to subscription journeys that convert and retain. Every product is built for real users, validated with real data, and improve through continuous iteration.

Engineering Spin-offs

We don't just solve problems for today; we build platforms for tomorrow. When we identify recurring gaps across our portfolio, we build internal tools that evolve into independent, stand-alone companies.

Edda
From an Internal Tech-Project to 300+ Customers
Edda
What started as an internal tech-project in 2021 is now a standalone success used by over 300 customers. Edda integrates data, visualizes it, predicts future demand, and provides accurate recommendations for staffing and procurement.
Favor
A B2C Gift Card Platform Proven to Boost Sales
Favor
We built Favor to maximize gift card sales at a lower total cost than market alternatives. By supporting customers' preferred payment methods and providing better marketing analytics, we've increased conversion and made gift cards a major revenue driver for Squeeze and Olio.
A&CO Booking
A SaaS Booking Platform Built for Scale & Full Ownership
A&CO Booking
After identifying strong potential across multiple A&CO companies, we built a proprietary booking SaaS that's more flexible and profitable, giving each brand full control of its data and core systems. It runs at scale, handling hundreds of thousands of bookings yearly for Squeeze, Olio, and the Jubel group.

The Career Launchpad

We hire engineers and develop CTOs. Meet some of the alumni who used A&CO Tech as a launchpad for their roles as founders and executives.

“Scaling Edda from an internal tool to a standalone company is the A&CO model in practice. Solving real pain points across the portfolio gave us the foundation to build a platform that now drives value for the entire industry.”

Sebastian joined in 2020, led data analytics across ventures, and co-founded Edda, now a leading workforce management platform built from scratch with machine learning to improve data integration and staffing optimization.

Ole August joined in 2023, led tech across multiple portfolio companies, and architected the A&CO Booking engine. He now builds Balder, using sensors and live data to turn shipping containers into smart assets and give logistics global real-time visibility.
