vernans lab

Engineering lab · Stockholm · Est. 2026

Built in the cold.Made to bloom.

We build the machines that do the work!

Vernans Lab is a SWAT team of senior engineers in Stockholm. Between us, three decades of shipping global platforms, now pointed at what comes next: agent-driven systems that do real work, with the guardrails that make them safe to trust.

Definition

ver·nans

/ˈver.nans/ · latin · present participle of vernare

springing up. coming into bloom.

From ver, spring. Botanists call it vernalization: some plants only flower after a hard winter. The cold is the condition, not the obstacle.

We build in the north. We like the cold.

01Work

The lab's first two builds. Both already in production.

PRJ-001In production

Sysslo

From "we should do X" to "X is done".

Workflow automation for companies. Intent captured in meetings and chat becomes delivered work: code, research memos, financial models, DD packs, runbooks. Specialist agent teams, context-limited and model-routed, run behind approvals, an audit log and tenant isolation.

Sawmill

Deal flow and due diligence in one living system.

Every acquisition, investment and partnership moves through one pipeline: a ten-area DD scorecard, funds released against milestones, documents with AI chat grounded in the case, and e-signature sealed with an audit certificate anyone can verify.

Not products. Things we built because we wanted to see them.

Cosmogit: Your git history as a living 3D galaxy.

Cosmogit

Your git history as a living 3D galaxy.

A tribute to Gource, rebuilt for the browser. Directories are star systems, files are stars, contributors are comets that fly to the files they change. New files go supernova, deleted ones implode. Point it at a folder of repos and they become one galaxy. Nothing is uploaded: the log is read in your browser.

02Built

Platforms we have shipped.

Banking solutions, streaming platforms, telecom infrastructure and music tech, among others. Our solutions are normally global, built for users in many markets from day one. Different industries, same standard: engineering that holds up in production.

  • FINANCE

    Banking and fintech

    Banking solutions and financial systems where correctness and security are not optional.

  • MEDIA

    Streaming and media platforms

    Global streaming and entertainment platforms for household-name brands.

  • MUSIC

    Music tech and data

    Platform architecture and data systems for the music industry.

  • TELCO

    Telecom and infrastructure

    Instant activation of fibre and TV across open networks.

  • VENTURE

    Agencies and incubation

    Built agencies and an incubator that helped start new companies.

  • +

    Among others

    Web, mobile and e-commerce solutions for global brands, and more. If it has to run at scale, we have probably built one.

03Approach

How we build.

  1. 01

    Guardrails are load-bearing.

    When the person who ordered the work cannot review it themselves, approvals, audit trails and isolation are the product, not compliance decoration.

  2. 02

    Production, or it did not happen.

    Progress is measured in systems that run and people who use them. Not in decks.

  3. 03

    Europe by default.

    Data, compute and AI endpoints stay in the EU unless there is a real reason they cannot.

  4. 04

    Senior on purpose.

    A small team with a long memory. Three decades of platforms means most of the expensive mistakes are already behind us.

04Team

A SWAT team of senior engineers. Ready for any task.

Small, senior and deployable. Every engineer on the team has shipped platforms at global scale. We drop into the hardest problem you have, own it end to end, and leave behind a system that runs.

Got a problem worth a hard winter?

Bring us the task nobody else wants to own. We take on a small number at a time and see them through to production.
