What Mejsla AB does

Mejsla AB is a Stockholm-based Swedish IT consulting company founded in 2009 that places experienced software consultants in client assignments, with a deliberate focus on the Java platform and the broader JVM ecosystem including Scala, Kotlin, and Clojure. The company's technical offerings span polyglot programming across Java, Python, Ruby, .NET/C#, Node/JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and Vue, with services extending across architecture, DevOps, development processes, and technical front-end development. Mejsla positions itself as a boutique operation emphasizing "craftsmanship," maintaining close customer relationships, and serving both large and small Swedish organizations across multiple industries through a model of cross-pollinating domain knowledge between sectors.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional services, placing senior consultants in client engagements, supplemented by paid training courses (e.g., the "Fast track to Play with Scala" at 11,500 SEK per participant) and mentorship programs. The go-to-market combines direct sales, a sustained community presence through long-running sponsorship of the Jfokus Java conference, and recurring free knowledge-sharing activities (v채ssardagar, study circles, unconferences) that act as a developer-relations funnel. The company was acquired by Swedish technology consultancy byBrick Tech in August 2025 while continuing to operate as an independent entity under founder-CEO Karl Dickson.
