Company health

Filed with a public registry
  • SurvivalRunway ~1 moLoss-making in its latest filed accounts (FY2024). cash under 0.1 MSEK, loss 0.3 MSEK over the year (under 0.1 MSEK/month), revenue 0.4 MSEK, revenue growth -85%. 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.

  • GrowthShrinking, -1Average employees filed with Bolagsverket went from 2 in 2023 to 1 in 2024, 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 roles0 open0 roles, sourced from the company's own Workable board.
  • Working languageSwedish siteI hold no job-ad text for this company, so this is read from their own site: their website declares itself Swedish. 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

Wrong about TakeReference?

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