About Lippa
Lippa is a founder-led product built by Accillion AS, a Norwegian company. One operator, a handful of collaborators, and a thesis: the right place to do serious thinking isn't inside any single model. It's in a workspace that sits above all of them and remembers what matters.
the thesis
The winning interface won't be a model.
Models will keep leapfrogging each other. The best one this month won't be the best one next month. So the right thing to build is not another model, and not another wrapper. It's the workspace that sits above all of them and makes switching free.
the bet
Memory is the moat.
Raw chat capability commoditises fast. Memory, the structured and portable record of how you actually work, doesn't. It's the thing we invested in first, and the thing we're still investing in most.
founder
Rolf has spent three decades building companies at the moments the internet shifted, and usually a step ahead of them. In 1995 he founded RiksNett and grew it into Norway's largest competitive ISP, taking on the national telecom incumbent. In 1998 came Active ISP, Europe's first fully automated pan-European domain registrar and hosting provider, which reset how the industry worked. From 2001 he led NetConnect, among the first companies anywhere to turn the phone conference into an interactive web meeting, through to a strategic sale. He later created the .GLOBAL domain registry, since acquired by Afilias, and became a global branding choice for companies wanting an international presence.
Along the way: strategic roles at Telia Internet, the internet arm of Sweden's largest telco, more than ten mergers and acquisitions, two IPOs, and board and operator roles across Vyke, NameBlock, iQ Global and Webtop.com. Educated in computer science and business informatics, from Norway, now based in Bordeaux, and currently the CEO of Call.com.
Lippa is his first AI-native product, and the same pattern again: spot the shift early, build the infrastructure everyone needs next. It started in early 2026 as a personal tool, one operator tired of losing half a day every time a frontier model shipped, and of paying for four subscriptions to read four different answers to the same question. The tool worked well enough that it became a company.
what we hold
Your data is not our product.
We charge for software, not for harvested signal. No training, no selling, no surprises buried in a terms update.
Model-agnostic, forever.
We'll never bet the product on a single provider. The day a lab ships a better model is a good day for users, not a crisis for us.
Export by default.
If a feature makes your data hard to get out, it's the wrong feature. Portability is a design constraint, not a compliance checkbox.
The interface is the product.
Benchmarks are for investors. What matters is how a person feels on their eleventh chat of the day.
Small, honest, durable.
A software company, not a rocket ship. Sustainable pricing, slow hiring, real support. The intention is to still be here in 2035.
European by design.
Built in Bordeaux and Oslo, operated on EU infrastructure, with data residency as a default. No footnotes, no asterisks.
roadmap
Development starts
Founder-led, built as a personal tool first. Memory engine, multi-model routing and the core workspace shipped internally under Accillion AS.
Invite-only
A small group of knowledge workers, consultants and early teams. Kept small so the feedback loop stays tight.
Open to all
Free, Pro and Pro Max for anyone, no invite required. Same EU infrastructure, same memory engine, no "lite" version.
Team tier
Shared Spaces with roles and permissions, admin tooling, centralised billing and a pooled credit budget. On the roadmap, not yet sold.
Patient work
Enterprise readiness, local execution, and the things we won't announce until they work.
