The auditor flagged going concern in the FY2024 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 Prime Penguin
A blank is a gap in my coverage.
Company health
Filed with a public registry- SurvivalRunway ~16 moLoss-making in its latest filed accounts (FY2024). cash 1.4 MSEK, loss 1.1 MSEK over the year (0.1 MSEK/month), revenue 4.0 MSEK, revenue growth 9%. Cash divided by that burn is ~16 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
- GrowthSteadyAverage employees filed with Bolagsverket went from 5 in 2023 to 5 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. Filed revenue FY2019 797 KSEK to FY2024 4,031 KSEK, across 6 filed years.

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