Who are we?
Two founders with a vision.
Lars has always built systems. As a teenager he ran servers from his bedroom and created digital communities before social platforms existed. Then came DJing, music production and festival organizing. Henrik started in the Hip Hop scene with rap and graffiti, which grew into leading creative projects and festivals. He still works actively as an artist with assignments in DJing and paints large artworks. We experienced how the cultural sector lacked the basic digital infrastructure that other industries have had for over ten years. Now we are building the solution.

We want to hear from you!
We have the idea, the experience and the first partnerships. Now we are looking for the right resources to build this.
We discovered that
Creatives spend more time on administration than creation.
The creative industry is a gigantic market that still operates without modern infrastructure. While other industries are transformed by technology, the cultural sector runs on fragmented systems, scattered data and manual processes. Weeks are spent on facebook groups, googling, writing applications, deadlines, networking and reporting. No one facilitates all of this.
Over 200 million professional creatives globally are affected. Hundreds of thousands just in the Nordic region. The result: far too many ideas end up in a drawer.
So it is not a lack of talent, but effective solutions.
Our vision
Kulturella shall be the digital infrastructure that the cultural sector is missing
One platform that connects the creative industry. We transform a fragmented landscape into one unified, data-driven ecosystem.
ELLA - the world's first Culture-AI: She is an assistant for creative culture in project development, automation of administrative work and connecting actors across disciplines.
Less paperwork, more creativity.
Supported by national cultural institutions
Creo, Seanse Art Center, Musikkontoret, Norsk Forfattersentrum and Assitej. These partnerships make their experience and domain expertise available to our members. They are important supporters for actors in the creative industry to succeed.
Norway is the starting point, rich in creativity, ability to act and support schemes. Our technology can scale horizontally. The same fundamental problems exist across every industry built on interdisciplinary collaboration.
