On Daresay and our people

I like building things and that’s why I co-founded Daresay in 2008. Creating usable and well-thought-through services is the core of everything we do here. It’s also important that work should be something you look forward to and that you have fun. Working with people that are better than you and who can teach you new ways are important and having a diverse group of people is the simplest way to achieve that.

Back in 2010 I was almost depressed working as a software engineer building a lot of features no one would use or care for. I joined Screen Interaction (as employee #10) to create things for people, not because of technology. We’ve grown into Daresay, a company with honest, prestigeless and brilliant people. Glad that I could bring it to Umeå.
