Scandinavia’s first acne-positive skincare brand is launching February 2022. Common Clouds is on mission to normalise acne – the world's most common skin condition which affects 90 % of all people at some point. The connection between acne and mental health is well established, impacting everything from self-image to social interactions. Studies have shown that almost 60 % of 15-22 years olds have experienced low self-esteem because of acne, and as many as 19% have declined being photographed because of an outbreak. This is simply not right. With science-backed skincare and acne-positive digital platforms to match, Common Clouds is changing the narrative around acne. Simply put, we created the brand we wish existed when we were teens – flooded in sebum and sadness. It was time to give acne a glow-up. Common Clouds is a 100% digital, direct-to-consumer brand created for Gen Z. Our social commitments are built into the brand DNA from scratch, and we are working closely with organisations supporting mental health initiatives for young people. We celebrate real people and real skin, and will never retouch skin in our imagery. Join our mission to create happier skin and a happier mind, one cloud at a time.

Haato is 'heart' in japanese and the heart is the focus of HATO Medical Technologies. HATO is a MedTech company specializing in heart monitoring and analysis. We have developed an innovative technology that assists healthcare professionals with increasing their qualifications in analyzing and interpreting electrocardiograms (ECG) through 3D visualizations of the heart and data-driven artificial intelligence. According to WHO, heart diseases are the largest killer in the world. Heart diseases and conditions are located and diagnosed with the use of ECG. This heart examination is practiced by General Practitioners, EMTs / Paramedics, Nurses, Doctors, and Cardiologists. Misinterpretation of ECG analysis leads to misdiagnosis, which might lead to fatal consequences for patients and the social economy. A British study estimates that up to 68,5% are misdiagnosed with heart failure. HATO's new digital solution analyzes heart diseases from ECGs using artificial intelligence and machine learning. The software solution increases the foundation of decisions of the healthcare professionals and combines 3D visualizations with our ML models for real-time animation of the patient's heart. All of this will assist healthcare professionals with localizing abnormalities and allow them to react faster at critical events. Innovative and easy. Long story short, the software platform will raise the bottom level of ECG interpretation and give all healthcare professionals a cardiologist by their hand.

We are a Swedish food-tech startup that aims to disrupt the way we measure the shelf life of food, and thereby eliminate avoidable food waste. Founded in the university town of Lund 2015, we have been devoting the last six years to develop what we are convinced will be the next paradigm shift in the food system – Dynamic Shelf Life Labels. Our labels are equipped with simple and low-cost gas sensor, that reacts with the gases emitted by the spoilage bacteria in degrading food products. We are developing two types of labels in parallel, one analogue (launched first, color shift indication) and one digital (NFC technology, enables connected food products). We are right now on the verge of finalizing our first generation of labels, developed for fresh meat application, and aim to launch during 2022. To accomplish this, we need to expand our team with key roles in line with our upcoming challenges.

Adeu.ai is an AI-powered practice management platform designed specifically for the legal industry. We help law firms eliminate one of the most tedious and error-prone part of their workflow: timekeeping and billing. Lawyers waste countless hours manually tracking their work, trying to remember what they did, for whom, and when. This leads to lost revenue, billing inaccuracies, and lawyer burnout. Traditional tools either require too much manual input or don’t understand the nuance of legal work. Adeu automates this process. Our AI passively captures lawyers’ work activity across tools like email, calendar, and documents, then intelligently translates it into billable entries—customized to the client’s billing preferences. The result is more accurate invoices, increased revenue, and lawyers who can spend more time on actual legal work instead of admin. We’re building this because we’ve seen how broken and outdated legal timekeeping systems are—and we believe lawyers deserve tools that work as smart and efficiently as they do.

Vi vil helst ikke sige det højt, for det er ekstremt hypet, men… Vi arbejder med AI. Alt lige fra rådgivning, til udvikling og implementering af AI – you name it, we got it. Det betyder at vi rådgiver kunder om, hvordan de implementerer AI i deres forretning på en måde så de sikre, at man er compliant (AI forordningen, GDPR og jeg skal gi dig skal jeg), har styr på governance (looking at you OpenAI), omkostninger (still looking) osv. Men også at vi selv udvikler og implementerer løsningerne (kode, kode og mere kode). Det er både træning af modeller, optimering af vektordatabaser, opsætning af kubernetes clusters, design af chatbots og en masse andet, mere eller mindre AI relaterede opgaver. Og det gør vi for de store - helt store. Og så nogle lidt mindre. Det betyder, at vi (med undtagelser) arbejder for store enterprise organisationer, med alt hvad det giver af muligheder og begrænsninger. Noget vi har gjort i rigtig mange år, også lang tid før der var noget der hed ChatGPT, AI Engineer og prompting. Kort sagt. Vi er dem man ringer til, når man vil have AI til at virke – ikke bare på LinkedIn. Vi har battle-tested løsningerne, set alle fejlene (og lavet en del af dem selv) og ved hvordan man navigerer i jungle af hype, compliance og faktiske forretningsbehov.
