Privately held group · Sweden + USA · est. 2020
Software holding for compliance, eLearning and legal tools.
Agonist Development AB and Agonist Inc. hold, fund and operate a portfolio of focused, durable software products at the intersection of regulation and craft.
Who Agonist is
-
Operator, not investor
Every company in the portfolio is built and run inside the holding. We do not take outside checks, do not fundraise externally, and do not flip.
-
Two jurisdictions
Agonist Development AB (Vällingby, greater Stockholm) handles EU/EEA development, compliance research and EU customer relationships. Agonist Inc. (WY, USA) handles North-American customers and federal procurement.
-
Regulation as the moat
Accessibility (EAA, ADA, WCAG 2.2), AI governance (EU AI Act), carbon trade (CBAM), patent disclosure. Hard problems, slow decay — software that compounds.
Three tracks
Each product runs on its own brand and domain. Below is a track-level overview — full enumeration on the products page.
-
Compliance
Regulatory software for accessibility (Ariada family: Blamer, Clamper, Reverter, Draculascan, Visual Scanner), EU AI Act (Governancer), and CBAM (AutoCBAM).
-
eLearning
Audio-first learning for headphones-first users. Passwalk — native iOS, hands-free, eyes-free, spaced repetition by ear.
-
Legal
Patent intelligence and disclosure. Patentomania — patent search, social graph and analytics. Web + iOS.
