Bipper is the story about a young mother of three with a big heart for the most important things in life. Founder Silje Vallestad is a true idealist who planned for a career in international peace work but who ended up starting up a mobile venture when she found herself shocked to learn that children as young as 6 years old were mobile phone users. Realizing that her own then six year old daughter soon might want her own cell phone, she started doing thorough market research only to conclude that none of the products on the market satisfied her need to provide her daughter with a safe and secure solution.
Motivated by wanting children to be ”safe while mobile” she founded Bipper Communication in 2007 to develop an innovative and safe mobile communication concept for children. She had no knowledge of either technology nor telecommunication, only a vision of the product she wanted for herself and her young family.
Within few months she managed to secure the interest of respected investors and a small team of industry experts, and the team has since grown stronger and stronger. All have concluded that many would be more competent than Vallestad in setting up and running a technology company, but her background and story gives Bipper a competitive edge that hardly any can compete with. Bipper Silje is the young mother of three, an idealist with a highly respected network and the storyteller for Bipper.
Her vision is soon a reality!
