About us
Built from inside the problem
Avara Insights was founded in Stockholm in 2025 by a former client-services lead who spent years watching renewal risk arrive as surprise.
Our story
Why we built Avara
Henrik Nordling spent several years as a client-services lead at a mid-size research consultancy managing over 200 active accounts. The firm ran strong work. Client feedback was largely positive. And yet, accounts left every quarter that the team had believed were stable.
The post-mortems were consistent. The signals had been there in the meeting notes. A shift in how a client asked questions. Survey verbatims that moved from effusive to polite. An email response that took three days instead of one. Nobody had connected those signals in time, because doing so manually across 200 relationships was not a realistic ask of any account team.
Avara was built to do exactly that work automatically. The platform applies NLP analysis to the qualitative data that agencies already produce and scores each account's relationship health in a way that surfaces cooling before renewal decisions arrive. It is the tool Henrik wished had existed.
Avara Insights AB was incorporated in Stockholm in 2025 and is bootstrapped. We are not funded by venture capital. We grow through the quality of the product and the results it produces for the agencies and consultancies that use it.

Early-access pilot results
What agencies found in the first 90 days
We caught a client drifting two months before renewal, something we'd have missed completely in our old process. The meeting note analysis showed a tone shift we wouldn't have spotted until the call where they told us they were leaving.
Our QBR prep used to be entirely gut feel about which clients were happy. Now we open Avara the week before and go in data-backed. It has changed the conversation.
How we operate
Bootstrapped and accountable
Avara Insights AB is registered in Sweden and operates with no outside venture funding. That means our priorities are aligned with the agencies and consultancies that pay us: build a product that delivers real retention improvement, not growth metrics for a funding pitch.
We charge based on accounts monitored, not on seats. We offer monthly billing so you are not locked in before you have seen results. And we publish our pilot data transparently so you can evaluate the product on its actual track record.
If you have questions about how Avara works, what it costs, or whether it is right for your agency, reach out directly. Henrik answers most inbound himself.
