Our Story

Welcome to Grunt, the epicenter of data-driven storytelling located in Oslo, Norway. Since our inception in 2015, we've been on a mission to revolutionize the way professionals across sectors visualize data and transform complex figures into compelling narratives that inform and inspire decision-making.

Our journey began with a simple question: How can we make data presentation both effortless and impactful? Founded by Mads Gedde, a former BCG consultant tired of the endless Excel and PowerPoint grind, Grunt emerged as the answer. We provide innovative, automated solutions that make data not just accessible but engaging and deeply meaningful.

Grunt stands today as a leader for those seeking to leverage data effectively. Backed by a team of experts in consulting, finance, and tech, we're driving the future of presentation creation, one impactful story at a time. Join us in shaping the future of data-driven narratives.

Charting new paths

At Grunt, our origins are deeply rooted in the real-world challenges faced by professionals in leading strategy consultancies and financial institutions. We were once in your shoes, wrestling with the tedious intricacies of PowerPoint and Excel, seeking a modern tool that streamlines workflows, cuts down on mundane tasks, and instills confidence in every presentation. But the market offered no solution that met our high standards for efficiency and design.

 

So, fueled by our passion for technology and craftsmanship, we set out to create the solution ourselves.  Our journey began with the groundbreaking development of the Visual Grid, an innovative approach to crafting advanced, data-rich visualizations in a user-friendly and maintainable manner. This tool marked not just a milestone for us but an opportunity for the industry, laying the foundation for further innovations. 

The spirit of innovation is still essential at Grunt. Our mission is to make your work less about the grind and more about delivering value and clarity through impeccable data communication. We're product people and have barely started, and the road ahead is filled with excitement and opportunities.

Grunt values and culture

We’re building a product, a service offering and a great company. It’s hard work and really rewarding!

Kids doing grown-up shit

We are quirky, celebrate the small wins, and we’re nerds to the core. We created a workplace to which we want to come to every day, where there’s a sense of humor and play, but we’re also working hard to solve real problems for real people.

Quality matters

We believe great ideas can come from anyone, whether it's a client or a team member. We prioritize hiring high quality talent, because they not only contribute to a great product and service but also foster a great work environment.

Norwegian Integrity

It’s in our blood to be honest, under promise and over deliver, and do the right thing always. We’re transparent with our clients about what we can do for them and what we should expect of each other. ​

Agility​

Our clients and the market are constantly changing and facing new challenges. We want to be right there, shoulder to shoulder with our clients and colleagues, and be a challenger that drives progress forward.

The market offered no solution that met our high standards for efficiency and design, so we had to solve this ourselves.
