About Bill Kill
Bill Kill is a licensed fintech startup helping users turn everyday bills into valuable rewards. Our platform makes it easy to pay invoices using reward-earning credit cards, unlocking more value from regular expenses. We launched in Norway in March 2020 and have doubled our revenue every year since. In 2024-just four years after launch-we reached profitability, a rare and significant milestone in the fintech world.
Bill Kill was founded in 2017 by Sonni Christine Jakobsen (CEO), Stian Strandem (CTO), and Erik Vasaasen, three fellow students at the University of Oslo -with a bold mission: to make fixed costs work harder for consumers.
In 2018, Andreas Limoli joined the founding team as Lead Developer, strengthening the technical core of the company.
We’ve been a licensed financial institution since 2019, approved by the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority (Finanstilsynet).
Today, our founding team remains actively involved in daily operations, staying true to our startup spirit while scaling our impact.
Bill Kill is supported by a board of five professionals, each bringing valuable expertise from a range of industries. Our Chairman, Lars Henrik Krogh, is a seasoned entrepreneur who successfully exited a previous venture in 2022 and has worked closely with our CEO since that time. Co-founder Erik Vasaasen also serves on the board, offering deep technical and product insight from the company’s inception.
Our team consists of eight professionals who are not only highly skilled but also active users of the product they help develop. Together, we are committed to building smarter financial tools that deliver real value to our users.
- Launched in Norway in March 2020
- Reached profitability in 2024
- Expanded to Sweden in 2025, with strong early growth

Bill Kill is 100% founder-led and privately funded. We’ve never raised venture capital. Our only investors are a select group of angel investors, with the founding team retaining majority ownership. Profits are reinvested into growth, product development, and international expansion.
Following a successful launch in Sweden and strong early traction, we’re now focused on scaling rapidly into additional markets across the region and beyond. Our proven model is unlocking new opportunities for consumers to maximize their financial benefits, and we’re just getting started.
With ongoing product innovation, expanding partnerships, and a growing user base, Bill Kill is poised for an exciting next chapter. Stay tuned—our journey to transform how people manage their bills and rewards is only beginning.
