About us

We build the software aquaculture actually uses.

Horizon Software builds decision support for aquaculture — planning, production control, budgeting and cost in one platform. We are based in Trondheim and develop in close collaboration with fish farmers along the coast.

01

An interdisciplinary team

Biology · economics · technology

We are biologists who became technologists, developers who know fish welfare, and people who have stood at the pen edge and planned production. It shows in the software: it is built by people who know what a deviation costs.

  • A marine-biology PhD on the development team
  • Over 20 years building economics tools for fish farmers
  • Colleagues with backgrounds in operations, husbandry and production planning

We sell better decisions

Not another dashboard

Every cycle comes down to a few expensive choices: how much smolt, how long in the sea, when to harvest. We believe those choices belong on your own data and current forecasts — not on rules of thumb and a spreadsheet that went out of date last week.

Why Horizon
03

Ownership and backing

Bluefront Equity

Horizon is owned by Bluefront Equity, a Nordic investor working exclusively with sustainable seafood. That gives us long-term owners who know the industry — and the room to build product over years rather than quarters.
