Styla

Styla is a fashion discovery app that helps style-conscious individuals to keep up with fast-paced fashion trends by offering a platform where users can share and explore outfits. Our vision is to become the single source of truth of fashion. The problem is twofold: Consumers find it difficult to keep up with ever-changing fashion trends, and when they do, the trends they see aren’t always validated or trustworthy. At the same time, influencers struggle to monetize their influence effectively on current platforms. -The app’s trends are validated by real-time engagement metrics, ensuring that what’s shown as trending reflects what users truly love. -The app offers shoppable links and a variety of filters—including age groups—for a personalized experience. -Content Creators are able to monetize their content, while fashion brands get high quality exposure and are able to access to trend data and performance analytics. The motivation behind Styla came from the frustration of trying to keep up with the ever-changing fashion landscape. Like many others, I didn’t have the time to constantly follow fast-moving trends, and the ads I encountered felt disconnected from what was actually "in." I wanted a platform that would show me what’s actually trending for a person like me, and I realized many others shared the same need.

Monogram

About Us: Monogram is a startup focused on art inventory management for individuals and businesses. The project originated from the realization that 98% of all art buyers/collectors do not have a digital inventory system. In addition to inventory management, the platform has two other main features: a social component where users can view other collectors' collections and a marketplace where users can sell works without a middleman. The product currently exists as an MVP being evaluated by a test panel.

Planet Peanut

Engaging every student in the classroom and ensuring their full participation and understanding in STEM subjects is a significant challenge for teachers today, leading to a decline in students' abilities in math and science. Our Solution: We introduce a dynamic, game-based learning platform that helps teachers engage their entire classroom in math and science through team competitions. Our platform includes: Team Competition Facilitator: - Students collaborate and compete in teams, fostering unity and motivation. - They participate in leagues throughout the year, earning points by solving STEM problems and preparing for the annual "Golden Peanut" competition. Experiences of Success: - Every lesson completion earns rewards, building a visual learning curve and reinforcing achievement. - This positive reinforcement keeps students engaged and motivated. Gamified Micro Lessons: - Lessons are small, engaging challenges that advance students' avatars in an interactive storyline. - Students see immediate progress, establishing a consistent learning habit. Teacher Assessment Tool: - Teachers track student progress, identifying strengths and areas needing attention. - Customizable local competitions tailored to the curriculum enhance daily engagement. Platform Features: Our app enables students to solve STEM problems in a gamified format, earning in-game rewards while enjoying the process. Each student selects an avatar that progresses through the storyline on PlanetPeanut, engaging in team competitions and climbing leaderboards. Annual "Golden Peanut" Competition: At the end of each school year, classes compete in an exciting 10-day event to win the Golden Peanut. Each day presents specific subject challenges, promoting teamwork and problem-solving skills. Students support each other, striving to earn the highest points for their class. Leagues and Continuous Engagement: Throughout the year, students participate in leagues similar to popular battle passes from games like FIFA and Fortnite. These leagues prepare their avatars for the grand competition, reinforcing continuous learning and engagement. Real-World Impact: Our platform has facilitated numerous examples of peer learning and collaboration. For instance, during one competition, five students spent several hours on a Sunday working together on Zoom to earn points for their class. Combining the motivational elements of gamification with effective e-learning strategies, our platform ensures that students understand STEM concepts while enjoying the learning journey. Our goal is to make every classroom feel like a cohesive team, celebrating shared achievements and fostering a deeper understanding of STEM education.

Spher.app

Spher emerged from a shared understanding of the challenges faced by underserved individuals within our society. The co-founders, driven by personal experiences, recognized the struggles encountered by those who do not conform to societal norms. One co-founder, navigating the complexities of not fitting the typical image associated with his country, joined forces with a woman who had endured constant fear and discomfort due to societal expectations. The pivotal moment that sparked the creation of Spher occurred when the male co-founder witnessed a female friend fall victim to an attack. This tragic incident served as a wake-up call, compelling him to recognize the urgent need for a united front among underserved populations to enhance collective safety. The decision was made to concentrate efforts on supporting women, who often find themselves vulnerable during commutes, nightlife activities, and even online interactions. Spher aims to address the safety concerns faced by women through the development of a specialized app. This platform facilitates a community-driven approach, enabling women to support one another in staying safe during their journeys home and while navigating the digital realm. By fostering collaboration and mutual assistance, Spher strives to empower underserved communities and create a safer environment for everyone, starting with women who deserve the right to move freely without fear.

The way we develop and manage our cities and their infrastructures in the next few decades will be critical.

Paint'R

In the European Union alone, more than 1.5 million paint buckets are discarded daily, constituting a disposal of 340 tons of single-use plastic that is incinerated each day. Starting from early 2023 (2025 in Denmark and Slovenia), manufacturers are obligated to cover the disposal costs of their packaging based on sustainability criteria. In Denmark, this translates to an estimated 15% fee on paint buckets. Furthermore, the conventional round shape of packaging has proven suboptimal for logistics and transportation. Beyond its environmental impact, the traditional paint bucket poses challenges for professional painters. These challenges encompass ergonomic issues during handling, such as the strain of lifting two buckets simultaneously, which exceeds recommended weight limits according to the Working Environment Authority. Painters also find themselves in awkward positions when pouring paint into a roller bucket for wall application. The demanding physical nature of the painting profession in Denmark results in accelerated fatigue and early retirement for painters. Additionally, issues like lid leakage due to dried paint and the use of fragile, porous plastic contribute to unexpected spills, particularly during abrupt vehicle stops. Our innovative solution involves a cardboard box housing two patent-pending plastic bags, each containing 5 liters of paint. This packaging not only enhances the workflow for professional painters but also reduces costs and lowers carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions by approximately 65% per unit. The box's design facilitates easy and ergonomic transportation, allowing for a 45% increase in units per pallet. The box is opened, and one of the bags is inserted into a standard roller bucket used by painters. The bag effortlessly opens and seamlessly fits into the roller bucket, wrapping around the edges, and enabling the painter to begin work promptly. This functionality is made possible through an innovative patented design and specific plastic welding techniques.

Because we've worked for startups and we've worked for product studios and creative agencies.. and we see so many things that feel broken and get in the way of getting brilliant, world-beating ideas out of someone's heads and out in the world, making a difference. There is a better way to build impactful organisations.. and we are dedicated to making it happen.
