Welcome to Rift Labs - Who are we?
Rift Labs AS is a Norwegian based LED technology company with unique hardware & software-competence. The company was founded in 2010 by serial entrepreneur and tech wizard Morten Hjerde (current CTO of the company, and founder of Link Mobility), with a vision to create amazing creative lighting.
Since inception we’ve been a technology pioneer and innovator within the photo and video industry, developing our own, proprietary and patented LED lighting technology. We have a large installed base with more than 45.000 units sold to date, and our products are used and loved by photographers and video producers all over the world.
Utilizing unique and patented software, Rift Labs not only develops but also manufactures highly innovative quality lights, having won the prestigious Lucie technical awards and achieving its first commercial breakthrough in 2018.
We now see a tremendous potential for growth based on the company's core technology and expertise in advanced LED light control systems and have defined an ambitious growth strategy to make us a strategically driven product company. This includes strengthening the organization and Rift Labs' position in photo and video, investing in new markets, and developing new products & services targeting the vertical farming industry as well as healthcare applications.
To realize our ambitions, we recently completed a highly successful fundraising led by the largest shareholder Karbon Invest, owned by Crayon and Link Mobility founders Jens Rugseth and Rune Syversen. It is the first time the company has raised external capital, with several prominent investors coming on board, including Datum, Carucel and Preben Rasch-Olsen.
