What Solibo does
Solibo AS is a Norwegian residential property management company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Oslo, serving housing cooperatives (borettslag) and owner associations (sameier). It delivers a full-stack forretningsførsel proposition: statutory accounting, board advisory and external board-chair placement, legal advisory, building maintenance and rehabilitation project management (through subsidiary Solibo Byggprosjekt AS), and subscription-based board education via Solibo Academy. As of 2025, the company manages more than 650 cooperatives and approximately 25,000 homes, ranking it the sixth-largest residential property manager in Norway and the largest that is not itself a housing cooperative.
The core technology is the proprietary Solibo Home platform, built in-house on a Kotlin-based architecture. Solibo Home combines a board portal (styreportal), a resident mobile app (beboerapp), an HMS (health, safety, environment) module, an annual planning wheel (årshjul), and a proprietary invoicing system. In June 2026, the platform added Model Context Protocol (MCP) support to enable AI-agent integration. The platform is registered on the Norwegian Proptech Map.
Solibo's revenue model is primarily recurring subscription fees on Forretningsførsel contracts, supplemented by professional services on maintenance and rehabilitation projects and by subscription revenue from Solibo Academy courses. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to cooperative size and service scope; members of Norges Huseierforbund receive referral-channel discounts. Go-to-market is a regional direct sales motion across Østfold, Oslo, and Innlandet, supplemented by developer partnerships (including SPG) and the Norges Huseierforbund referral channel. Stated annual revenue is approximately 50 million NOK on a base of ~50 employees.

Solibo competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- USBL: Norwegian housing cooperative management company explicitly named by Solibo as a primary competitor. Solibo's head of developer partnerships, Erlend Glad, joined from USBL where he was management director, indicating direct talent and customer overlap.
- OBOS: Norway's largest housing cooperative and Solibo's most explicit competitor. OBOS provides forretningsførsel, board advisory, and member services across its own residential portfolio and competes for non-member housing cooperatives. Solibo specifically references OBOS as a primary competitive target and has hired senior talent from OBOS.
- Bate Boligbyggelag: Regional Norwegian housing cooperative serving members in the Stavanger/Sandnes area with property management and member services. Comparable as a cooperative-affiliated property manager competing for the same Norwegian forretningsførsel contracts Solibo targets.
- Malling & Co: Norwegian real estate services firm offering property and facility management across residential and commercial assets. Comparable because it serves Norwegian property owners with managed services, though Malling & Co's portfolio is broader than Solibo's residential housing-cooperative focus.
- OBOS Eiendomsforvaltning: The property management arm of OBOS, providing forretningsførsel and administrative services to housing cooperatives. As the largest cooperative-owned manager in Norway, it represents the incumbent alternative Solibo is winning customers away from.
Broad incumbents
- MRI Software: Provider of real estate and property management software including accounting and resident portals. Comparable as a broader incumbent whose modular software stack competes conceptually with Solibo Home's integrated approach.
- Yardi: Global real estate software platform serving property managers with ERP, accounting, and resident portals. Comparable as a broad incumbent whose product breadth contrasts with Solibo's Norway-specific, in-house built platform.
- Realpage: US-based real estate software platform offering property management, accounting, and resident engagement tools. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the property management technology category Solibo targets with Solibo Home.
- Vitec Software Group: Nordic vertical software provider with a real estate vertical serving property managers and housing cooperatives across Scandinavia. Comparable as a broader incumbent that Solibo's Solibo Home platform competes against on software functionality.
Others
- NBBL (Norske Boligbyggelags Landsforbund): Federation of Norwegian housing cooperatives, established in 1946, representing the cooperative movement at national level. Comparable as an industry ecosystem player rather than a direct competitor; Solibo engages with NBBL-linked cooperatives as customers and partners.
