v1 working draft · derived from igdrasil.se · everything here is editable

Start here

This is a living draft.

Colours, logo and type are proposals derived from the website — meant to be challenged and changed. A lot will move in the coming days; this deck is built to move with it.

01

One source of truth

This deck is a view. The canonical brand lives in brand-identity.md and tokens.json — read those to change anything.

02

Built for people & agents

Plain text and tokens that humans skim and AI tools parse — so everything we ship stays on-brand.

03

Edit without fear

Every fact lives in one place. Change a colour, a value or a tagline without breaking the rest.

The name

Igdrasil ← Yggdrasil

Igdrasil echoes Yggdrasil, the Norse world-tree that connects everything it touches — roots that hold, a trunk that supports, steady growth.

It reframes accounting as the thing that helps a business grow with clarity — not a chore at the bottom of the list.

Mission & vision

Where we're headed

MISSION

Make bookkeeping accessible, proactive and actually useful — so financial clarity never requires a finance degree.

VISION

A future of daily-closed books: invoices, receipts and reconciliations handled in real time, turning numbers into action.

Values

What we stand for

01

Proactive

Anticipate, don't react. Flag what matters before it becomes a problem.

02

Accessible

Plain language, fair pricing. Clarity for owners, not just accountants.

03

Effortless

Calm by default. No spreadsheets, no jargon, no scramble.

04

Open

AI-first and API-first. Built to be inspected, extended and trusted.

Positioning & audience

Where we sit

For Swedish founders who find bookkeeping a stressful chore, Igdrasil is AI-first accounting that closes the books proactively and answers in plain language — so finance becomes a source of clarity, not anxiety. Unlike legacy tools bolted onto spreadsheets, Igdrasil is automated and agent-native from day one.

PRIMARY

Founders & SMBs

Time-poor, finance-light, growth-minded.

PARTNERS

Bookkeepers

Want the busywork automated — not their judgement.

TECHNICAL

Agents & devs

Building on the API-first, MCP-ready platform.

Personality & voice

How we sound

Calm · Clever · Grounded · Warm. A sharp friend who happens to know Swedish tax law — never the auditor across the desk.

Say

  • Plain, concrete, founder-to-founder
  • Calm, sourced, reassuring
  • Short and active

Don't say

  • Jargon dumps without a translation
  • Hype, buzzwords or fear-based pitches

Imagery & art direction

Nature and light

Meadows, soft Nordic light, open skies — optimistic and calm. Real product UI shown clean on light. Whitespace does the work.

Do

  • Real product UI, clean on light
  • Natural textures — wood, leaf, paper, sky
  • Calm density; one number as the hero

Avoid

  • Finance clichés — coins, handshakes, suits
  • Heavy stock photos, busy gradients
  • Cold corporate blues
Applications

The brand at work

SOCIAL

Teach, don't sell

LinkedIn-first. The Owl hosts tips. Pine canvas, one amber highlight, one idea per post. Build in public. SV + EN.

WEB

Calm & spacious

Meadow hero, one clear headline. Show the product and the Owl. Earn trust early. Speak to agents too.

PRODUCT

Calm density

Lots of data shown gently. The Owl as copilot. Status pills carry state without alarm. API-first, MCP out of the box.
