We at ihopa are on a mission to create a better and more sustainable alternative to buying products and storing them for the majority of their lifetime in a basement. This solution is shared access to products for home and leisure. We have launched several sharing boxes in different villa and urban communities so far. In return for a small monthly fee the members are able to book 25+ products anytime and as often as they wish. Going forward we are working to take our service to real estate developers and rental companies, so that the service can be financed in the same way as shared washing machines, gyms and so on for the tenants. Our team consists of passionate people with experiences in different fields, united by the mission to innovate this solution. We are learning every day how to improve our offering in a lean startup-like way. We are an open culture and welcome impact from everyone in our team, including our many advisors. We are alumni of +Impact accelerator, Sting, SUP46, Impact startup and active in the Norrsken network.

We strive to enable consumers to freely choose the origin of their energy by providing them with a transparent and validated source of energy. We create verifiable energy authentication, detailing the source, type and location of the energy produced, available for producers and consumers around the globe. For the first time ever, end-consumers will be able to prove they consume and operate completely on 100% renewable energy.

Our supply chain aims to revamp the way we consume fashion today. We are a complete supply chain that believes in products, that are made with respect for all living beings. Our products will be sold both online and offline in a totally transparent way. We aim to have total control of our supply chain, starting from fiber all the way to customer experience. There are no secrets regarding production or the way we do business.

Patent pending deep tech innovations in drone fleet /swarm operations by bringing autonomous aerial infrastructure. https://www.linkedin.com/company/sentinel-fleet-ai https://sentinelfleet.ai/ About Sentinel Fleet Sentinel Fleet is creating a new category: Autonomous Aerial Infrastructure. While the drone industry has focused on aircraft, sensors, and missions, the infrastructure required to scale autonomous operations has remained largely unsolved. We are building that infrastructure. The Missing Infrastructure Layer Autonomous systems cannot scale on manual infrastructure. Our patent-pending platform combines intelligent docking, power management, fleet coordination, and autonomous operations into a single system that enables drones to operate continuously with minimal human intervention. The result is a network that transforms drones from isolated tools into persistent, coordinated assets capable of delivering real-world outcomes at scale. Deploy anywhere. Scale effortlessly. Operate continuously. Autonomous Intelligence AI turns a network of drone docks into an autonomous sensing and response system. It continuously deploys, coordinates, and recharges drones while analyzing data at the edge in real time. This enables persistent monitoring, faster decisions, and lower operational costs without human intervention.

FairByggePris is developing an AI-powered service that helps property owners and professionals analyze contractor offers to identify errors, hidden costs, and overpriced items with unmatched speed and accuracy. Construction projects are often delayed or become more expensive because contractor offers are complex, inconsistent, and difficult to compare. Many clients – from private homeowners to housing associations and municipalities – lack the technical expertise to assess whether a bid is fair and complete. This problem is widespread: every year billions are spent on construction in Denmark alone, and a significant share of these projects suffer from budget overruns or disputes due to unclear or incomplete offers. The lack of transparency creates mistrust and unnecessary financial risk. FairByggePris applies AI to automatically analyze contractor offers. The system parses PDF or digital bids, compares them against structured industry data (such as Molio standards), and highlights missing items, hidden costs, or inflated pricing. Instead of relying on manual review by expensive consultants, users can within minutes receive a clear, data-driven analysis showing whether the bid is fair and where they should ask critical questions before signing. Over time, the system becomes smarter by learning from thousands of analyzed offers. The idea came from repeated experiences with how opaque and inconsistent contractor offers can be. Many homeowners and organizations enter construction projects without knowing if they are overpaying or missing critical details, leading to stress and unexpected costs. We started FairByggePris to give clients confidence and clarity. By using AI and structured construction data, we can finally make it easy for everyone to check their bids and avoid expensive mistakes.

GitHub made it easy for the world to build software together. SomebodyMakeIt does the same for physical products. SomebodyMakeIt is where brands, IP owners, and product creators can turn ideas into real products without building supply chains from scratch through a shared infrastructure for sourcing, collaboration, production, and scaling. Physical product creation is still absurdly broken. If you want to launch something real, you usually need to find the right people, manage scattered files and feedback, coordinate suppliers, handle production risk, and commit money before you know if demand exists. That kills speed, margins, and momentum. It also locks out a huge number of creators and companies that could launch great products if the system were easier. This is a massive market gap hiding in plain sight. We are building the platform where physical products get built. A place where ideas, briefs, collaborators, makers, manufacturers, production knowledge, and execution can live in one system. Instead of every company rebuilding the process from zero, they can plug into shared infrastructure for developing, testing, and scaling products. The more projects that run through the platform, the stronger the network becomes. More data, better matching, faster execution, more repeat production, and more value captured across the lifecycle. We started this because we think it is crazy that software has world class infrastructure for building together, while physical products are still stuck in email, spreadsheets, fragmented sourcing, and expensive guesswork. That should not be true anymore. We are building SomebodyMakeIt because the company that becomes the default place where physical products get built can become incredibly important.
