Deep-tech studio · Sweden

We build tools that make the truth provable — sealing reality at the source, and making it simple to verify.

WHAT WE DO

Proof, built into the moment of capture

We work on the same problem from three angles: making a record, proving it's real, and putting it where it matters.

01

Forensic capture

Sealing reality at the source — so a recording can't be quietly doctored after the fact.

02

Cryptographic verification

Proving a file is the unaltered original, with checks anyone can independently reproduce.

03

Accountability tooling

Getting provable evidence into the hands of journalists, courts, and watchdogs.

LVSR Systems is our first product. It won't be our last.

PROJECTS

What we're building right now

Flagship

LVSR Systems

Autonomous, attritable capture units that seal footage the instant it's recorded — with an unbroken cryptographic chain of custody from the field to the courtroom, and independent authenticity audits for anyone who needs to prove a file is real.

More to come

Forensics and provenance leave a lot of unsolved problems. LVSR is where we start — not where we stop.

CURRENT STATUS

Where we actually are

No vapourware theatre. Here's the honest state of play — green is done, amber is in motion, grey is next.

Livsro Group AB — incorporated and operating in Sweden
Done
LVSR architecture & public site — design, threat model and verification model defined
Live
Capture hardware in hand — compute board, camera module and GPS acquired
In hand
Capture-and-seal working on real hardware — real capture sealed, signed and hash-verified on the device
Working
Review console & desktop app — evidence stays sealed until a physical USB key unlocks it; tamper checks pass live
Working
On-drone capture & GNSS-tagged evidence — moving the capture pipeline onto the airframe
In progress
Partners & funding — open to investors, drone makers and contributors
Open
First field demo — sealed evidence captured on a live airframe
Planned
Authenticity audit service — verification registry and signed certificates

THE PLAN

Short range, long range

Build the proof first, prove it works, then scale it. The drones are the end of the path, not the start.

Short range · next 12 months

Make it real and show it

  • Ship the verification core: capture → fingerprint → sign → seal → verify → certificate.
  • Run it on real hardware — a sealed capture that survives loss of GNSS.
  • Produce a first field-style demo: one cheap drone, sealed footage.
  • Engage Almi and apply for early innovation funding (Vinnova).
  • Line up the first partner and a friendly pilot user.
Long range · 1–5 years

Become the proof standard

  • Productise the authenticity-audit registry and certificates.
  • Attritable capture units, cheap enough to deploy in numbers.
  • Integrate with established drone and sensor platforms.
  • Become the provenance layer courts and newsrooms recognise.
  • Grow Livsro Group beyond LVSR into adjacent forensic tooling.
WHO'S BEHIND IT

The company is the point — you don't have to read any of this. But if you're curious who's behind the keyboard, spin the cube.
