Everything I could know about Friendbase
A blank is a gap in my coverage.
Company health
Filed with a public registry- SurvivalRunway ~0 moLoss-making in its latest filed accounts (FY2024). cash under 0.1 MSEK, loss 3.4 MSEK over the year (0.3 MSEK/month), revenue 0.1 MSEK. Cash divided by that burn is ~0 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.

- GrowthSteadyAverage employees filed with Bolagsverket went from 1 in 2023 to 1 in 2024, effectively unchanged. 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.

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 2013 (13 years ago), ~1 employees, Growth stage. Age, size and stage combine into the read.

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