GLYON

GLYON is developing a CO₂-powered textile-to-textile recycling technology to help brands, fiber producers, and recyclers solve the growing textile waste crisis with a breakthrough chemical recycling process that turns waste into virgin-quality raw materials for new fibers—without fossil fuels. We address the massive problem of textile waste, a global crisis where over 92 million tonnes of textile waste are discarded each year—most of it ending up in landfills or incinerated. This contributes to major pollution issues but also forces the textile industry to continue its dependence on virgin fossil-based materials. Our solution targets fiber producers, brands, and recyclers who need circular raw material solutions. Our CO₂-based chemical recycling process breaks down polyester textiles into building blocks and leaves other fibers like cotton intact. Both PET building blocks and cotton can be used to produce new, high-quality fibers without the need for virgin oil and reducing water consumption and CO₂ emissions.

Behold

Behold helps animals change people. Our technology turns everyday wildlife encounters into moments of discovery. It meets people where they are, whether at home, on their devices, or in their communities. It shifts how they see nature and their role in it. It is entertainment with a purpose, designed to inspire and influence behaviour in subtle but meaningful ways. But we are not just here to tell stories. We are building a network of thousands of garden cameras, creating the largest database of residential wildlife sightings. A powerful tool for conservation, citizen science, and understanding the changing natural world. Our first product, Behold Cam-1, became a massive success on Kickstarter – hitting its funding goal in under 2 hours, and raising almost $400k in pre-orders. We're now bringing that product to market. It’s an opportunity to join at the earliest stages—with all the challenges and rewards that come with it.

Edumo

Edumo allows teachers to provide a Duolingo-like experience with: Bite-sized content, which allows learners to more easily find time; Gamification and nudging which helps learners to keep practicing; And intelligent repetition and insights, which helps learners understand things they struggle with. Unlike Duolingo, content can also be instructional material in form of text, audio and video. And the teacher can gain detailed insights and intelligent summaries of learners' progressions and struggles. Edumo helps teachers to tailor content to their classes or individual learners through automation, generative AI and sharing. A teacher can easily get existing material into the system by photo, scans or upload of documents, which the service may recognize and turn into interactive materials. The service also has various features to generate materials intelligently from various teacher inputs. We say it's a "learning management system" with focus on learning and less on "management" and "system". We want to help teachers by removing time consuming tasks and give opportunities for creating great learning experiences and focus on the education. We want to help learners find time and motivation to practice and support them to achieve desired results.

Cosmic Vodka

Cosmic Vodka is a premium Swedish vodka startup that aims to revolutionize the cocktail experience by combining high-quality spirits with unique visual appeal. The key feature of Cosmic Vodka is its color-shifting property, which changes based on pH, allowing bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts to create visually stunning drinks. This offers a "wow" factor that few if none other vodkas can match, enhancing both the flavor and the aesthetics of cocktails. The Problem We Are Solving: Many premium vodkas focus solely on taste and quality, but they often lack an experiential element that can elevate the consumer's experience. For bars, restaurants, and cocktail enthusiasts, presentation is crucial, especially in an era where social media plays a massive role in consumer engagement. There's a demand for innovative products that stand out and provide a unique talking point while still delivering on taste and quality. Cosmic Vodka addresses this by offering both superior quality and an engaging, Instagram-worthy visual effect. Why This Problem Matters: Consumers, especially in the 25-45 age group, are looking for products that offer more than just functionality. They want products that create experiences. In the context of bars and restaurants, Cosmic Vodka helps bartenders differentiate their cocktails from the competition, making their offerings more shareable and memorable. For home users, it allows them to recreate a bar-like, show-stopping experience for friends and family, making cocktail-making more enjoyable and engaging. By solving the problem of offering a visually exciting and high-quality vodka, Cosmic Vodka caters to both professional bartenders and home mixologists who want to elevate their craft and impress their audience.
