Valerian Funds' vision is to be the world's preferred source of growth capital for online businesses accessible at the click of a button. Simple, Fast and Non-Dilutive From startup founders to startup founders, we have been there – we know how hard it is to raise capital. Your business needs to tick a particular box with a VC or have a minimum track record for a bank manager. Ultimately, a successful fund raise is less a testament to the quality of your business and more a consequence of being at the right place at the right time – not a very comforting thought. The founding team at Valerian set out to create a product that would eliminate the serendipitous element of fund raising and instead root the investment decision in hard data – eliminating the self-selecting criteria of who you know and instead focusing solely on performance. The team at Valerian brings in a wealth of unique specific expertise that aims to provide you with the best available, most flexible and ultimately cheapest cost of capital available for your growth.

1: Short description (the pitch) Phinder is developing a software solution to help companies to gain control of their data and comply with GDPR with a unique combination of intelligence technologies. 2: The What: What are you solving + more in depth details “Unstrucutred personal data is one of the largest barriers for achieving GDPR compliance” (Partner, large danish law firm). To achieve GDPR compliance an organisation must have a complete overview of and control of the personal data which they control. This is often done in an ineffective manner with manual processes.

NAUST Robotics upgrades agriculture with autonomous drones. The main problem we are solving is bird damage on farms, which can easily be 50-70% if the land is close to the water. As current bird scaring techniques are ineffective in the long run, farmers are exposed to damage, losing over 50.000 EUR per 100 Ha (wheat fields). We solve this with an autonomous drone flying over the fields, equipped with speakers. Emitting special sounds that birds recognize as danger, we will push them out of the crops, back to natural areas where they can feed without conflict. A landing platform laying on the field will recharge and shelter the drone, allowing the whole system to operate autonomously. Furthermore, the user will be able to check the real time status and modify the settings from our mobile app! Additionally, in the future we aim to equip special cameras on the bottom of the drone to collect high quality periodical images for crop monitoring practices. This will lead to save time and resources for the farmer, such as tons of chemical pesticides thrown to the field without knowledge. Our vision is to implement affordable autonomous drone solution to automate simple tasks and save time for society.

Swash is the first step in shaping a new data economy where people are rewarded for the value they contribute online. It’s a way for everyday internet users to profit from their data, redefining the balance between people, data businesses, and the internet. The current structure doesn’t acknowledge that, without internet users, the digital economy wouldn’t exist. A select few reap the rewards that belong to the many by collecting, using, and selling our data in shady ways without hesitation or consequence. As a solution, Swash provides access to ethically sourced user data that preserves user privacy and is given with full consent, making the data more ethical and reliable for data buyers. Swash rewards users for the data they already create when they surf the web and recognises them as integral components of the data economy and essential value contributors. We enrich users by allowing them to profit from their data and, through redefining how data is collected and valued, accelerate change. At Swash, we believe that powering change begins by empowering people. The data economy can be made to serve the majority to shape a fairer, more equitable world. The bigger the Swash community, the more value returned.
