The Story Behind Again X
The idea for Again X was born during the Antler Oslo Accelerator program, where the founders worked closely with top-tier advisers to shape their vision. The team realized that while the real estate sector thrives on measurable data, many critical factors remain hidden — and those unseen elements still carry costs for owners, investors, and the environment. Again X was created to bridge that gap, making the complex accessible and the invisible visible through cutting-edge technology and deep industry knowledge.
Meet the Team Driving Innovation
The core team at Again X is small but mighty, combining diverse skills and perspectives. Daniel C. Tabacaru Jæger, a Dipl. Architect and sustainability system thinker, leads as CEO and founder. Alongside him is Torben Schlawe, a full-stack developer and co-founder, who brings the technical expertise to bring their vision to life. Supporting them is a strong advisory board, including Arne Aashildrod, an expert in data architecture and security, and Eirik Rudi Wærner, a specialist in building toxicity. Together, they form a multi-disciplinary unit focused on transforming building management.
How Again X Uses Technology
At the heart of Again X’s solution are advanced AI and machine learning algorithms designed to analyze data across entire building stocks. This technology uncovers critical insights about material content, accessibility, toxicity risks, and maintenance impacts. By aggregating and interpreting this data, Again X helps commercial real estate owners better assess risks and plan investments and maintenance more effectively. The result? Smarter decisions that support sustainability and extend the life of existing buildings.
