Case Assignment & Interview

Shape is the leading mobile app agency in Denmark and has together with the leading digital products agency in Sweden, Bonrouch, joined forces with Waterland Private Equity in 2023 with a joint ambition to create the leading digital product agency worldwide, Framna.

The name Framna is rooted in Old Norse, reflecting our Nordic heritage and meaning "to bring forward," "to produce," and "to evoke or imagine.” In other words, shaping the future and what’s coming next. It embodies our ambition and continuous drive to extend and expand our capabilities in the digital product space, creating innovative and forward-thinking digital products that help businesses become leaders within their categories, and that change users' lives for the better.

Today Framna consists of over 400 talented individuals working across 7 international studios. We build premium digital products for some of Europe’s best-known brands; including IKEA, Apple, SEB Bank, and OK. Products we’ve built reach over 100 million users worldwide.

Supported by Waterland Private Equity, consistently one of the top-performing pan-EU PE funds, we’re embarking on an exciting journey to become the world’s leading digital product agency. We will achieve this through a combination of organic growth and by acquiring leading digital product agencies in new markets.
