Kilowott

What Kilowott does

Kilowott is a private IT services and digital transformation firm founded in 2014 as Kodework in Norway and rebranded in 2018 after consolidating four sub-ventures (Ninestack for software, Creometric for digital marketing, FatHamster for animation, plus the original Kodework web development arm). Headquartered in Sandnes, Norway, with production operations in Goa, India, and additional offices in Wyoming, USA and Dubai, UAE, the company delivers integrated strategy, consulting, software development, data, digital, and design services to agencies and growing brands across Nordics, EU, APAC, EMEA, and the USA.

The company operates a four-pillar branded portfolio: Kilowott for Brands (end-to-end growth services), Kilowott for Agencies (capacity scaling via integration and collaboration models), Kilowott Intelligence (AI integration framework combining opportunity mapping, workflow automation, and human-in-the-loop control), and Kilowott Workforce (cross-functional team building with upskilling and on-demand talent). Underlying technology spans full-stack development (.NET, Node.js, React.js, React Native, Vue.js, Blazor), cloud infrastructure on AWS and Azure, e-commerce platforms (Shopify, WooCommerce, Strapi, Laravel), and marketing automation (HubSpot, Klaviyo, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign).

Kilowott generates revenue through professional services (project delivery fees, multi-year contracts, retainers) and on-demand resource services (hourly/daily resource rates or monthly retainers), with pricing custom-quoted per engagement. Its go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales, strategic channel partnerships (notably NICCI for Norway-India trade facilitation), and event-driven demand generation across regional and global conferences. The firm is led by founders Aaron, Caleb, and Judah Fernandez alongside CEO Nitish Raikar, with a professionalized executive bench including VPs of Delivery, Finance, HR, and Technology, plus interim CRO and CMO roles. Ownership is concentrated among the founding family with no external institutional investors disclosed.
