Like any other good idea, Cutters was founded with the purpose of solving a problem and fulfilling a need. We wanted to make haircuts smarter. In december 2015 Cutters started its journey with a purpose to offer haircuts of high quality at a reasonable price. As of today Cutters is the most innovative and fastest growing hairdressing chain in the Nordics, which is established in Norway, Sweden and Finland. Today we have 123 salons in Norway, Sweden and Finland and are still growing. Our salons are the most visited in the whole country, and we get a lot of attention in both the media and with our customers. The Cutters concept is a new and unique drop-in concept which builds upon three factors: Effectivity, quality and price. The thought about efficiency is based on being easily accessible with a drop-in haircut that only takes 15 minutes, and quality is ensured by having some of the best hairdressers in the country who go through our own Cutters academy program. We offer a standard haircut price regardless of gender and haircut style. We only perform haircuts and good product knowledge that enriches our guests to choose the right hair products. Som alle gode idéer startet Cutters med utgangspunktet i et behov. Vi ville gjøre hårklippen enklere! I desember 2015 begynte Cutters sin reise med mål om å kunne tilby alle hårklipper av høy kvalitet til en fornuftig pris. I dag er Cutters Nordens raskest voksende frisørkjede og har etablert seg i Norge, Sverige og Danmark. Cutters er et nytt og unikt drop-in konsept som bygger på tre faktorer: effektivitet, kvalitet og pris. Effektivitet ved at hårklippen bare tar 15 minutter, kvalitet ved at vi har noen av landets beste frisører og en fast pris på hårklipp uavhengig av kjønn og type klipp. Vi tilbyr ikke tjenester som hårvask, hodemassasje, farging eller striping av hår, men fokuserer på det vi er best på; hårklipp og enkel styling. Hos oss vet du alltid hva du får og hva du betaler for.

Dryft startades med en tydlig vision: Att skapa en helhetstjänst i hantverksbranschen där du hittar allt du behöver för att ta hand om din bostadsrätt, radhus eller villa - hantverkare, projektledning och material. Vårt mål är att vara din långsiktiga partner som alltid står vid din sida, oavsett om det handlar om småfix eller stora renoveringar. Tillsammans har vi i teamet inte bara över 100 års erfarenhet av små och stora renoveringar, utan även bakgrunder från konsumentprodukter, hospitality och tech. Det är denna unika mix av erfarenhet och talang som ligger till grund för vårt kunderbjudande som är en kombination av kvalitet, innovation och personlig service. Vi har våra egna projektledare i alla projekt och arbetar med de allra bästa hantverksföretagen som partners i genomförandet. Våra partnerföretag är helt integrerade i vårt egenutvecklade digitala system för planering och projektstyrning, vilket möjliggör smidig samordning och effektivt genomförande med hög kvalitet. Vi har stora drömmar. Med vårt helhetsgrepp om underhåll, renovering och förädling av hem arbetar vi för att etablera ett helt nytt kunderbjudande i branschen. Idag finns vi i Stockholm, Göteborg, Malmö och Uppsala, men vårt mål är att göra detta tillgängligt för bostadsägare i hela Sverige och Norden.

Nothing exists to make tech feel exciting again. We’re building a different kind of company, one that puts design, emotion, and human creativity at the heart of everything we do. From the way our products look to how they sound, feel, and function, we care about the details that make technology not just useful, but inspiring. This is a place for the curious. The creators. The ones who ask why not and mean it. If youre drawn to bold ideas, fast moves, and work that actually makes you feel something, you’ll fit right in. Were not here to follow the rules. Were here to make better ones. Founded in London in 2020, Nothing is a design-led tech company building an alternative to the industry giants. Our products, from award-winning smartphones to expressive audio and wearables, blend iconic design with intuitive engineering to put people and creativity back at the centre of consumer tech. Backed by GV (Google Ventures), EQT Ventures, C Ventures, and influential investors like Tony Fadell (iPod), Casey Neistat, and Kevin Lin (Twitch), we’ve grown from startup to global challenger in just a few years.
