Marcus Wilstrup

Co-Founder & Tech Lead

Started coding at 12. Spent the last 12 years building production systems for startups and enterprises. Co-founded Nordium Labs to work with founders who need someone who can actually ship.

At Autobutler, cut infrastructure costs by 2M+ DKK annually as Tech Lead—turns out you don't need dozens of servers when you fix your caching strategy. Before that, built UNOIT's education platform serving 2M+ Danish citizens (later acquired by EG). Co-founded ProCollective, a freelance platform used by Publicis Groupe.

Does technical due diligence for VCs evaluating early-stage companies. Invests in ambitious tech companies including SpaceX, Anduril, Groq, and xAI. Believes most technical problems are actually organizational problems.

Mads Harretche

Co-Founder & Full-Stack Dev

Full-stack developer who loves shipping products. Co-founded Nordium Labs to build things that actually work at scale.

Built features for Autobutler's Rails monolith and React SPA. Co-founded MIX IT ApS—mobile ordering and POS system with real-time WebSocket sync. Learned a lot about what not to do with offline-first architecture.

Shipped multiple profitable SaaS products: SammenlignKøreskoler.dk (driving school comparison), RobinsonlistenAPI.dk (GDPR compliance API), and Akia.io (competitor email intelligence). Still running, still profitable.

How we work

These are the principles that guide everything we build.

Ship first, polish later

We prioritize getting working software in front of users over perfect architecture. Feedback beats planning every time.

Boring technology wins

We choose mainstream, well-documented tools. Your future team shouldn't need a PhD to maintain what we built.

No surprises

We communicate clearly about trade-offs, timelines, and scope. If something's going wrong, you'll know immediately.

Measure everything

We instrument from day one. You should know how fast your app is, where users drop off, and what's breaking.

Teach, don't gatekeep

We document our decisions, explain our code, and train your team. You should be able to own what we build.

Speed is a feature

Fast iteration beats perfect execution. We ship weekly, not quarterly, so you can adapt to what you learn.
