Silicon Valhalla is a Nordic tech intelligence hub that maps startups, founders, investors, and market signals across the Nordic region, with a particular emphasis on AI, SaaS, and frontier innovation. It exists to make the “Silicon Valhalla” ecosystem - Nordic tech’s answer to Silicon Valley - more visible, navigable, and investable for founders, operators, and capital. The platform combines a curated startup directory, an events calendar, and ecosystem insights into a single, neutral entry point for Nordic tech. Startups and scaleups get structured profiles highlighting what they do, where they are based, which sector they play in, and how to reach them, while investors and partners can quickly scan emerging companies across AI, climate, fintech, deep tech, and more. A continuously updated view of companies and activity aims to surface momentum early, so users can spot new categories, breakout teams, and upcoming fundraising stories before they hit the mainstream. Silicon Valhalla is designed to be independent and ecosystem-first rather than a job board or paywalled database. The service is currently free to use, making discovery accessible while opening the door for future premium offerings such as featured profiles, highlighted events, and deeper signal products for investors and corporates. In short, Silicon Valhalla is building the default map and narrative for Nordic tech: a living overview of the startups, talent, and ideas turning the region into one of the most dynamic innovation hubs in Europe.

Laavu is a Finland-based performance coaching company built for entrepreneurs, executives and key talent who want to lead with clarity, resilience and sustainable high performance. Our mission is to create a psychologically sustainable future, where taking care of your mind is as normal as taking care of your body. A world where going to a psychologist is as casual as having a personal trainer, where emotional skills are trained as proudly as biceps, and where psychological skills are seen as an essential foundation of success. Since our founding in 2020, we have supported leaders who face a universal yet often overlooked challenge: the psychological load of leadership. While companies invest heavily in strategy, tools and operations, few invest in strengthening the inner capacity of the people making the hardest decisions. Laavu offers research-based psychological coaching that helps leaders improve self-awareness, manage stress effectively, communicate with clarity and make decisions from a grounded, focused state. Our approach bridges psychotherapy and business coaching, offering in-depth yet goal-oriented support from a certified psychologist who truly understands the world leaders operate in. Laavu offers a comprehensive membership designed to support leaders continuously: The membership includes: • Regular 1-on-1 coaching sessions with a dedicated psychologist-coach • On-demand support between sessions • Access to Laavu App with goal tracking, notes, and curated material • Monthly community events that bring leaders together for peer-to-peer support, shared learning and open conversations about real leadership challenges. The goal of the membership is not only to solve problems but to create an ongoing environment where leaders grow steadily, stay mentally sharp, and maintain a sustainable pace year-round. By 2025, Laavu has grown into a team of 16 professionals serving over 230 leaders monthly from top-tier growth companies in Finland and abroad. Our members are telling a consistent story: when they truly understand their inner drivers, emotions, and patterns, they lead with more clarity, better judgment, and a stronger presence. Because, Mind is Your Own Business.

Sustainly is the scalable single-source of truth for non-financial data. We use AI and automations to perform cumbersome data-related tasks across environmental insights (EPDs, LCAs, Carbon footprints), supply chain, documentation and much more. Our goal is to simplify and democratize access to environmental insights, to empower decision makers to make more holistic decisions. Today, performing life-cycle assessments is a highly academic discipline, which acts as a major gatekeeper for properly utilizing data, and getting a proper return of investment. In addition to make it more easy to arrive at the results, we also empower companies to actually utilize the data as a trustworthy, single-source of truth across all business units. This means that the data can create value, directly in R & D, sales, marketing, management and more.

At Centi, we believe in the power of ownership. Companies that give employees, board members and other stakeholders the opportunity to be owners create better outcomes for individuals, businesses and society as a whole.

We are building the leading equity management platform that enables businesses to manage equity ownership and engage their employees. We are still in the first innings of a long game, and we are looking for talented people to join us in our mission to create better outcomes for all. Our goal is to take the friction out of ownership and make it, well, just… work.
