Software Development & Advisory — Est. 1995

Smalausnir

An Icelandic–Norwegian software house — Oslo / Reykjavík

In the 9th century, Norse navigators crossed the Atlantic without compass or map. Their secret was the sólarsteinn — the sunstone. A crystal of Iceland spar that revealed the position of the sun through cloud and fog, finding clarity where others saw only grey.

They didn’t cross the ocean in one leap. They crossed it in small solutions — each observation, each correction, each decision building on the last until the crossing was complete.

About Smalausnir

A Software House, Built the Old Way

Smalausnir ehf. is a software development and advisory company established in 1995 — Icelandic roots, Norwegian base. The company builds and publishes its own portfolio of digital products, and takes on select advisory engagements in data, AI and enterprise systems.

The name is the method. Products are built lean, shipped early, and improved in small solutions — each verified step building on the last until the crossing is complete. From MedTech compliance tools to consumer apps, everything in the portfolio is designed, developed and operated in-house.

Smalausnir was founded and is led by Einar Hafberg — three decades of building software as founder, consultant and data leader. Read his story ↗
