Saddle is a Stavanger-based startup building software that facilitates innovation and decision-making in companies with external owners.

We believe that many of the best ideas inside organizations require structure and visibility to become reality. The initiatives are often lost in silos, lack cross-functional input, or never reach decision-makers. In companies with external ownership, ideas often need to travel across more layers and stakeholders. Saddle supports the journey from idea to decision.

Our ambition is for Saddle to become the leading software platform for innovation and decision-making.
