Vend

Vend operates multi-sided digital marketplaces that aggregate buyer demand and seller supply in local Nordic markets. It creates value by building trusted, category-specific destinations with strong consumer traffic, then monetising that traffic through paid listings, seller subscriptions, premium exposure products, landlord or dealer tools, and advertising placements sold to brands and commercial participants. The model benefits from local liquidity: more users attract more sellers, and more listings attract more users and advertisers.

Vend is a Nordic operator of online classifieds and vertical marketplace platforms, trading publicly as Vend Marketplaces ASA. Its portfolio includes large consumer and specialist marketplaces such as FINN in Norway, Blocket in Sweden, Tori and Oikotie in Finland, and DBA and Bilbasen in Denmark, covering general classifieds, property, vehicles and rentals.

The company makes money primarily from paid listings, subscription packages and premium visibility tools for professional sellers such as dealers, agents, landlords and other commercial participants, with advertising revenue as an additional income stream on high-traffic properties. Its customer base therefore spans both consumers using the marketplaces and paying business users that buy visibility, listing access and audience reach across Nordic markets.
