Everything I could know about Bower
A blank is a gap in my coverage.
Company health
Filed with a public registry- SurvivalRunway ~1 moLoss-making in its latest filed accounts (FY2025). cash 0.2 MSEK, loss 4.5 MSEK over the year (0.4 MSEK/month), revenue 16 MSEK, revenue growth -5%. Cash divided by that burn is ~1 months of runway. Filed facts, but the burn is the accounting result rather than true cash flow, and a funding round raised since the filing date does not show here yet.

- Distress flagsNo data for this company yet
- GrowthShrinking, -16 (-52%)Average employees filed with Bolagsverket went from 31 in 2024 to 15 in 2025, a change of -16 people (-52%). This is a fiscal-year average from filed accounts, so it lags: it says whether the company has been adding people, not whether a role is open today. Filed revenue FY2019 660 KSEK to FY2025 16,159 KSEK, across 7 filed years.

- SectorGamesMapped from the industry tags this company reported to the startup directory (consumergoods, greentech, saas, food, gaming). Self-reported, so it is the company's own claim about its market.
- Engineering reputationRead from what they publishNo data for this company yetCompany websites plus the public GitHub API. Broader discovery via GitHub search would need an API token.
Hiring practicalities
Read from their job ads- Open rolesNo data for this company yet
- Working languageEnglish siteI hold no job-ad text for this company, so this is read from their own site: their website declares itself English. That is a proxy, not a statement about the working language. Checked against the 222 companies where I have both, it agrees about 9 times in 10, and the way it fails is a company running an English site while hiring only in Swedish.
Fit and mission
Worked out from facts I hold- Fit (chaos or structure)Balancedfounded 2015 (11 years ago), ~31 employees, Series A stage. Age, size and stage combine into the read.

Wrong about Bower?
The address, the headcount, the logo, a role that closed. Tell me which and I will fix it.
