We are Findmy<\/h1>\n\t\t

Findmy is made by farmers for farmers. We develop solutions that provide a better overview of the animals and make it easier to monitor them throughout the grazing season. <\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

The Founder's Story<\/div>\n\t\t\t

It started with sheep that didn't come home<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In 2009, Marit and Arnstein lost approximately 25% of their flock on open grazing land. This enormous loss caused frustration over the lack of technology and tools available for open grazing areas without mobile coverage.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Large parts of Norwegian open grazing land lack mobile coverage, and a tracking bell needs to last an entire grazing season without charging. The solution became satellite: a transmitter that sends GPS positions via the satellite network, with a battery that lasts several grazing seasons. Together with Marit's brother Halvor and H\u00e5kon Innerdal, they launched the first commercial product in 2013.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Since then, we have maintained the same principle: it must work where the animals actually are, and it must be simple enough to be used in the mountains on a snowmobile, in the forest in the rain, and in challenging terrain without coverage. We are still in Kvikne, with seven employees in the white house by the road, three in Trondheim, three in Oslo, and three good colleagues in Spain.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The Team<\/div>\n\t\t\t

16 great colleagues
\nMost are farmers<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We develop the hardware, software, and solution ourselves, and we answer the phone ourselves. Many of us are farmers, just like our customers. The distance between us and the use of the system is short. Our employees actively use the system in their personal operations. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
