Quickit

YOU KNOW IT Sitting at a Restaurant and trying to get in contact with a waiter to either order or pay the bill. You can see that the staff is busy and not very easy to get eye contact with. In some cases it takes 10-15 minutes to either order or pay the bill. THE SOLUTION IS It’s a software developed to assist the staff while serving all the visiting guests by allowing the guests to order and pay through their own smartphones. This application minimizes waiting time and dispersion of bacteria, it eliminates queues and increases up sales. Despite all of that it’s also a direct marketing channel between restaurant and guest. Vision: Quickit’s vision is to be the leading Scandinavian ordering and paying application when dining in. Mission: Quickit aims to streamline the service by assisting the waiters and become the quickest and easiest way to order and pay. Problems solved with Quickit - Minimizing waiting time - Eliminating queues - Empty tables - Streamlining service - Up sale - Marketing directly to the guests We were a bunch of girls who enjoyed meeting up at cafés to chat about all and nothing for hours, as a break from our exams and boyfriends. We would buy a café latte and then one more and sometimes we would have wine instead. The only problem we met again and again, were the time we had to wait for the waiter in between our orders and mainly when we wanted to pay the bill and leave. Often the result were that we wouldn’t order the extra café latte or glass of wine, because it simply took to long time. The subject of our conversation then changed into how we could solve this problem and optimize our visits and so the concept began to take shape. Not only would the concept solve the problem that gave us the idea, but it’s beneficial for so many other reasons. Like during Covid where we need to social distance and the restaurants gets a direct marketing channel to their guests to promote themselves and set up nice deals to fill their tables. With my (Anne Sofie, Founder) 7 year industry knowledge from being a waiter and manager alongside with my studies, I could then put together the two needs from respectively a business and an user and create a beneficial concept that would make the restaurant experience even better!

Spuddle

Spuddle is developing a Duolingo-style app for Excel to help young professionals boost their digital confidence and career readiness by turning complex skills into fun, bite-sized learning. Our secret sauce? Gamification, microlearning, and a community-driven approach that makes Excel something you actually want to practice. Across the world, more than a billion people use Excel and yet most have never been taught how to use it properly. For young professionals and recent graduates, this creates a huge barrier: they’re expected to “just know” Excel, but in reality many feel insecure, waste time on manual tasks, or miss out on opportunities because of weak digital skills. This gap affects productivity, confidence, and employability and it’s widespread across industries, especially in early career roles where Excel is a daily tool. We’re building a mobile app that makes learning Excel engaging and accessible, like Duolingo, but for spreadsheets. Instead of long, boring tutorials, users complete short, gamified exercises that fit into their everyday routines. The app adapts to their level, rewards progress, and helps them practice consistently until Excel becomes second nature. Beyond Excel, our vision is to expand into other workplace tools, becoming the go-to microlearning platform for digital skills. Spuddle started as a side project on social media. We shared quick Excel tips on Instagram and TikTok, and within six months had over 200,000 followers. The overwhelming response showed us just how many young professionals struggle with these skills and how much they crave accessible, fun learning. What began as a hobby quickly grew into a mission: to make digital skills education less intimidating and more empowering. We’re building Spuddle because we’ve lived the problem ourselves, and we believe mastering the basics should feel motivating, not overwhelming.

VentriJect

VentriJect is developing the groundbreaking Seismofit® System, a health solution that uses advanced seismocardiography and an AI algorithm to help healthcare and wellness providers assess cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) accurately and efficiently, without physical exercise. Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), often measured by VO₂max, is a powerful predictor of long-term health and a key indicator of a person's risk for chronic diseases. Unfortunately, current methods for measuring VO₂max are often complex, time-consuming, and require a high-intensity physical effort (e.g., on a treadmill), which makes them inaccessible to many, especially the elderly, those with mobility issues, or patients recovering from illness. This widespread problem affects millions of people globally who could benefit from a simple, accurate, and non-invasive way to assess their fitness levels. We have developed the Seismofit® System, an award-winning medical device that revolutionizes CRF measurement. Our solution uses advanced seismocardiography—a technology that records the micro-vibrations of the chest caused by heartbeats—in combination with a sophisticated AI algorithm. In under three minutes, our system provides a highly accurate estimate of VO₂max without the need for any physical exercise. This fast, simple, and non-invasive process makes it possible for healthcare and wellness providers to easily integrate CRF assessments into routine check-ups, helping them provide more personalized care and better disease prevention strategies. The spark for VentriJect was ignited by a clear unmet need in the healthcare industry. We recognized that while VO₂max is a vital health metric, its assesment was limited to specialized settings due to the demanding nature of existing tests. This created a barrier to widespread adoption, preventing countless individuals from understanding and improving their cardiorespiratory health. Our team was motivated to bridge this gap by creating a technology that could democratize access to this critical health data. By making CRF assessments simple and accessible, we are not just building a product; we are empowering healthcare providers and patients to take a proactive approach to health, with the ultimate goal of improving quality of life for millions.
