About
A senior Bergen studio. Built to ship.
Daia opened in Bergen in 2019 with one rule: only take work we can ship. No strategy decks that gather dust, no prototypes that stall — software built for production.
Today the studio spans product, design and engineering — still small, still working to an agreed scope, still shipping. Every line is written by someone who has shipped before and reviewed by another.
Principles
I
Build, don't advise
Strategy that never ships is expensive opinion. The studio is set up to put software in production.
II
Priced before we start
You know the number before work begins. Scope changes are agreed and quoted in writing.
III
Clear handover
Code, infrastructure and accounts are handed over on the terms agreed in the proposal. We build so that you could leave.
IV
Senior hands
Written and reviewed by people who have shipped before. No learning on your budget.
