Our Story
Ardoq began in Oslo in 2013 with a bold idea: to transform Enterprise Architecture from static diagrams into something powerful, dynamic, and actionable.
Founded by Erik Bakstad and Magnulf Pilskog, we set out to help organizations make smarter decisions through real-time, data-driven insight. Since then, we’ve grown into a global company, raised $125 million in funding, and earned the trust of some of the world’s largest enterprises.
What hasn’t changed? Our values. They remain the engine behind our growth and the foundation of everything we do.
Guiding Ardoq Forward
"Bold, Caring, and Driven — these values shape Ardoq as we grow. They guide our decisions and inspire us to continually improve both our platform and company. The culture at Ardoq is truly one of a kind!"

Meet Our Leadership
We are Bold, Caring, and Driven
-
Bold
We push boundaries, act decisively, and embrace challenges.
Bold means being unafraid of learning opportunities and taking decisive action to drive progress for ourselves and our customers.

Caring
We care about our customers and each other through empathy, trust, and collaboration.
Caring is working together to create a safe environment and transparency, even when it means having tough conversations. We celebrate success, share knowledge, and value diversity.
-
Driven
We’re on a mission to move fast, deliver value, and create real impact.
We’re fueled by purpose and seek to deliver our best every day. Driven means growth as a lifelong mission, and never settling for ‘good enough’.

Life at Ardoq

We know exactly what we are working to achieve at Ardoq, and we break those goals down into quarterly, monthly and weekly milestones. In my role leading the global business development team, it is my job to define the 'how' for my team: Ardoq empowers me by setting such a clear 'what'. I'm able to make an impact in my role because we have a clear company vision. Alongside this, we champion boldness and drive in our work: we focus on getting things done and making decisions that help us win.

Ardoq immediately stood out. From the first conversation, it was clear they genuinely cared about me as a person, not just a candidate. The interviews felt like real, honest conversations to understand if it was the right fit—technically and culturally. That transparency and mutual respect was refreshing and rare, giving me a strong sense that people are valued and empowered here. I haven't been disappointed since.
