Sprii is a live commerce platform based in Aarhus. We help brands and retailers turn live and video shopping into measurable revenue. The problem we solve: online shopping is convenient but impersonal. Shoppers scroll, compare and leave, and brands lose the human connection that makes people buy and come back. Sprii brings that connection back. Our platform lets any brand go live once and stream a fully shoppable show to Facebook, Instagram and their own website at the same time, with real-time chat, live analytics and checkout built in. Viewers watch, ask questions and buy without ever leaving the stream. Beyond live shows, our Shoppables widget puts shoppable video directly on a brand's own site, and our Turnkey service handles production end to end for teams who want us to run the show for them. We integrate with Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, Salesforce and PrestaShop, so going live fits the tools brands already use. The results speak for themselves. Sprii has powered more than 72,000 live shopping events, sold 21 million products and generated EUR 365M in revenue for over 3,000 brands and retailers across Europe, including Elgiganten, JYSK, Vero Moda, ONLY, Matas, NIVEA and LEGO. We believe live shopping is more than a sales tool. It is about connecting with customers in a real, human way. If you want to build technology that thousands of brands rely on to reach and convert millions of shoppers, alongside people who care about getting the details right, we would love to meet you.

CAMAR is a new innovative Danish software company founded in March 2017 that now works in an international context (currently Denmark, Sweden, U.S.A., UK and Latvia). CAMAR has nine highly skilled active owners, two FTE and in process of expanding the organisation. CAMAR has invented a technology `TacTile Pinpoint´ that enables existing touch devices to provide tactile feedback while “hoover” with a finger over a screen. In April 2018, we granted the US patent for its technical fundament and it continues to develop worldwide patent applications. The first edition of Software Development Kit (SDK) is in place and demo app prepared and about to start PoC projects with international companies. CAMAR’s proprietary and patented technology “TacTile PinPoint” uses vibration to dramatically increase the tactile feedback from touchscreens, affording users a much more intuitive experience, while reducing the need to look at the touchscreen. TacTile PinPoint enables a much safer interaction with touchscreens, especially in situations where a moment’s distraction can have disastrous consequences, such as driving or operating machinery.
