Registered as Innoscentia AB
We are a Swedish food-tech startup that aims to disrupt the way we measure the shelf life of food, and thereby eliminate avoidable food waste. Founded in the university town of Lund 2015, we have been devoting the last six years to develop what we are convinced will be the next paradigm shift in the food system – Dynamic Shelf Life Labels. Our labels are equipped with simple and low-cost gas sensor, that reacts with the gases emitted by the spoilage bacteria in degrading food products.
The auditor flagged going concern in the FY2025 accounts: a formal statement of material uncertainty about whether the company can keep operating for the next year. It is the auditor’s judgement, not a prediction, and companies do recover from it.

Everything I could know about Innoscentia
A blank is a gap in my coverage.
Company health
Filed with a public registry- SurvivalRunway ~5 moLoss-making in its latest filed accounts (FY2025). cash 1.3 MSEK, loss 3.4 MSEK over the year (0.3 MSEK/month), revenue under 0.1 MSEK, revenue growth -100%. Cash divided by that burn is ~5 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. This is a year-end figure, and the same filings show headcount growing, +1. Money raised after the year end does not appear here.

- GrowthGrowing, +1Average employees filed with Bolagsverket went from 4 in 2024 to 5 in 2025, a change of +1 people. 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

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