WHO ARE WE?

“I am a hippie at heart who happened to end up on the serious side of the line.”

It all began in January 2010 when two senior consultants in Lund had a daring idea to create a knowledge-based company, where they would love to work. They wanted to establish a community of the best and the brightest individuals with desire to share knowledge and passion for their work that resembles a craftsman's pride and care for his deliveries. Furthermore, their company would also represent a partner that everyone would want to do business with.

Their overall vision was to earn admiration in the Öresund region. They believed true admiration is not built on being the largest or the richest of all companies. True admiration comes from being focused on the right things, such as competence, a family-like team and strong core values. This is why our main focus is on knowledge, people, teams and clients. Through cooperation of these four entities we fulfill our mission; we share knowledge and thereby create value for everyone involved.

In September 2010, three important things were marked on our calendar. First, I have joined the team to help tretton37 reach all challenging future goals. Secondly, a merger with Blue Pebble, a company that shared the same goals and core values, contributed to our growth even more. And finally, we were ready to move into our headquarters in Lund.

Only one year later, we can proudly look back at many milestones achieved in 2011. We have established numerous cooperations with new clients; we started with off-site deliveries, and our family grew to 40 members.

Our growth and development demanded a professional and dedicated board. Thomas Barge was a great choice to take the strategic position of the Chairman of the Board since he is known for his executive experience within public and private companies, especially startups that grew and reached international success.

We are more than excited about the future. We have brand new offices in both Lund and Stockholm that we are very proud of. Drop by someday and you will understand why we all talk about this amazing, home-like feeling.

It is pretty hard to choose a name for a company that truly represents who you are. Well, we made it! Believe it or not, it all started in our childhoods when we were playing computer games. Back in the day, every good player who did something cool was called "elite". It was a fun way of giving recognition to friends for their awesome work. To shorten the word, its phonetic version “leet” became popular, and to remain in secrecy, numbers slowly replaced letters (L =1, E= 3 and T = 7). We added a Swedish touch by naming number 13 with its Swedish word “tretton”. tretton37 is one of a few company names explaining everything you need to know. We are a Swedish technology company, being the best in what we do. And we are proud of it. Challenge us!

WHAT WE BELIEVE IN?

"I am a positive thinking person with a strong ambition to create excellent software."

In tretton37 sharing the same vision, mission and core values is extremely important. Every single individual contributes to the company's success through embracing knowledge and living our values. We are not saying it to sound awesome. We really walk the talk!

Our vision to become the most admired company is
supported by our mission to create value by sharing knowledge.

People

When we make an interesting discovery, we want to share it with the world. We can tell you all our secrets as we are having breakfast together, or as we are having a drink or two in the evening. Sharing our discoveries with the world is made even easiest with the use of our blog. Check it out and you will soon realize it has many useful tips and revolutionary ideas.

Does your competitive spirit drive you to challenge us? Great, we´ve got open code nights where you can prove how awesome you are. We also try to support open source projects either by helping them with our skilled developers, donating money, or letting the winner of the Code Night donate via us.

Team

Your knowledge is fostered through rewarding discussions about news in the .Net framework and new technologies. There are several seminars and other activities helping you to keep up-to-date with the latest trends. They can be in a form of hourly meetings or as a weekend break, led by our colleagues and external speakers. Furthermore, you can test the most interesting subjects hands-on as much as you want at our weekly events.

Clients

Knowledge is bursting in every corner of our company; let us share it with you. It can be in a form of a seminar, as a knowledge-sharing forum, or as an event where we meet your developers to code together and test new technologies. We will make sure that it is fun and rewarding.

After every deliver we assess what went good and what can be improved. We strengthen our relationship by having honest, open and straightforward communication, and thereby continuously improve our service.

Sounds good, but how exactly do we do that? There are three equally important groups of stakeholders involved in the process of creating value: people, teams and clients. The meaning of value for each group may vary, but all of them need knowledge sharing to get it.

Everything starts with more knowledgeable people in the organization. When put into teams, those people make better teams and deliver better results to our clients.

Happy clients invite us back to deal with new challenges, and this way we gain even more knowledge and experience. If we look closer, our knowledge sharing process is actually a growing spiral that helps everyone involved gain value, and it helps us get better and better. And getting better is the value for us as a prosperous company.

With great power comes a great Ninja. ~Spider-Man, 2002. (The replaced word is “responsibility”)

VALUES

Our values are guidelines, which drive our way of interaction within the company and with our business partners.

We are focusing intently on two things. Firstly, creating a great environment that everyone loves to work in. Secondly, being a business partner that everyone wants to do business with. This is extremely important to us.

Craftsmanship as a lifestyle

We are craftsmen; exceeding client's expectations by delivering state of the art quality and professional service, working and learning with passion, and having great pride in our work and in our company.

Embrace the family spirit

Every person in the company is equally important and encouraged to be involved in the decision-making process, which drives our commitment.

We all proudly belong to the knowledgeable team of loving, caring and fair people who support each other, have an understanding for each other's concerns and promote mutual trust, loyalty and respect.

What you see is who we are

Open, straightforward and honest communication helps us to build trustworthy long-term relationships within the company and with our clients.

Honesty and long-term relationships are far more important for us than short-term gains.

Challenge the world

We are continuously challenging the world, fearlessly trying out new things, following technology trends and looking for new opportunities to satisfy our hunger for up-to-date knowledge experience. We are entrepreneurs for life.

Have fun

We believe in power of freethinking and creativity. The balance of knowing when to work hard and when to have fun is of great importance in our organization. Playfulness within our professional environment engages the best skills and creates the best results.
