Hawkfish

What Hawkfish does

Hawkfish AS is a Norwegian privately held IT company founded in June 2018 and registered in Brønnøysundregistrene under organization number 921020880. Its headquarters is in Asker, Norway. The company functions primarily as a holding company for a portfolio of websites and domains rather than a unified software platform. Its two disclosed sub-brands are Hacked.com, a cybersecurity service offering hacked account recovery, harmful content removal, and security audits; and MoneyMakers.com, a platform that helps small businesses value their businesses and attract investors and buyers.

The company's underlying technology is a portfolio of standalone websites delivering services directly to end users. No proprietary software platform, unified API, or shared technical infrastructure is described across the two properties. Integration across the cybersecurity and business-valuation verticals appears minimal, indicating a horizontal rather than integrated operating model. No AI/ML capabilities, patents, certifications, or compliance frameworks are disclosed.

Hawkfish AS's business model is operationally opaque. No pricing is published, no funding rounds are disclosed, no customer logos are available, and no management team is named. Distribution is entirely through owned digital properties (Hacked.com and MoneyMakers.com), targeting the consumer/individual and small business segments respectively. The company employs 51-100 people per firmographic data, which is notable relative to the apparent scope of its two disclosed websites, suggesting either unstated operations, contractor-heavy delivery, or back-office capacity not visible from the public-facing material. Founded/owner identity, revenue, and ownership structure are all undisclosed.
