In 2008, childhood friends Erik Bergman and Emil Thidell opened a web consulting agency. For the first two years, the business operated from Thidell's parents’ basement. In October 2010, the pair decided to move to Malta. In 2012, they established Catena Media, with a focus on the lead generation for online gambling operators.Шаблон:Citation needed
