A room at Saltimporten for founders building solo with AI.
Drop anchor at Saltimporten. saltıs_ is a raw, high-energy workspace for solo founders who work with AI instead of employees. We provide the focus, you bring the vision. First desks open late September.
// 01 — Infrastructure
The physical layer. Everything a one-person company needs to stay unblocked.
Your dedicated zone. Ergonomic setup, fast network, and bottomless coffee to keep you fueled.
A fully soundproof recording studio. Essential for pristine demo videos, creator content, or training synthetic voice agents.
Two distinct meeting spaces, one of them equipped with pro-grade video gear, plus an Xbox Series S for when you hit a wall and need a reset.
The whole floor is wired for sound. Focus music at the desks, something with more attitude in the lounge. The room always has a pulse.

// 03 — The room
Solo doesn't mean alone. These are the things the room does for itself.
The room gets together to unblock bugs and compare notes. Tenant-run, no curriculum.
WeeklyWhoever shipped something that week shows it. Nobody keeps score.
Monthly6 to 8 evenings a year on whatever is breaking in the stack right now. Open to the city, not just tenants.
6–8 / year// 04 — Questions
Straight answers. If yours isn’t here, just ask.
No. saltıs_ is a room with desks in it. No program, no equity, no mentors assigned to you, no demo day for investors. You keep 100% of your company. If you want an incubator, Malmö already has MINC and it’s good.
saltıs_ is a paid workspace. We don’t publish the rate publicly yet because the fit-out is still being priced. Get on the list and I’ll send you the exact monthly rate for a permanent setup.
No. The whole room is set up around one person per desk. The premise is building a 10-person company by yourself using AI, and that falls apart the moment there are two of you.
The first desks open late September. Get on the list now and you’ll hear before they go.
Yes. Your access works 24/7. We know builders don’t always work 9-to-5, and sometimes you just need to ship in the middle of the night.
Absolutely not. You get a permanent, dedicated desk with an ergonomic chair. Leave your monitor, your mechanical keyboard, and your books. It is your permanent base of operations.
We are located at Saltimporten, Malmö’s iconic harbor front. It is raw, industrial, and separated from the noise of the city center — the perfect environment for deep work.

Rickard Hansson
Founder · tenant
I’m Rickard Hansson. I started coding on a Commodore 64 at 12 and sold my first piece of B2B software at 15, written in Pascal on my dad’s 286. No degree, no formal training.
Gainable is number six, and it’s the first one I’m building the way you’re building yours: AI-native, alone, with a stack that does the work that used to need a team of ten. It works better than it has any right to. It’s also the loneliest way I’ve ever built anything, and that’s the reason saltıs_ exists.
I still run Weavy alongside it, wired deep into Gainable’s stack, and I coach startups at MINC.
I’ll be at one of these desks too. Not as a landlord stopping by on Thursdays; as a tenant, in the room, shipping on the same Monday you are.
// 06 — Desks
There are only so many desks in the room. The first ones open late September. Drop your email and I’ll send you the rate and a time to come look at the place.
