Bueno is a single-source solution platform for property owners initially targeting people who owns property abroad. Bueno makes it easy for people to manage their property by combining financial services with innovative solutions and cost savings. Our initial market is Spain where 2 million foreigners own property. These are underserved by traditional banks and they pay too much for banking. The problems is not unique for Spain, banking in the South of Europe is years behind Scandinavia which means Bueno are addressing a massive market. Q1 2022 we launched in Spain as the first B2C real bank challenger with accounts hosted on the local banking network, Iberpay. This means we have full support for local direct debit payments, required to own and manage a property in Spain. We have a financial partner ready for France and will solve the same problems in France when we launch there in Q3. In Q2 Bueno will launch property insurance in Spain working with one of the big traditional insurance companies but we will also partner with a 100% digital challenger to offer 100% online insurance. We launched Bueno because of our own experience, and our friends experience with Spanish banks. Banking should not be this bad in 2022.

Introduction to SurplusMap SurplusMap is on a mission to revolutionize the way we develop and optimize EV charging infrastructure. By leveraging advanced geospatial tools and machine learning models, we empower energy companies, local utilities, and charge point operators to make informed decisions about site selection and utilization prediction. This ensures the efficient and effective deployment of charging stations, addressing a critical need in the rapidly growing electric vehicle market. Our secret advantage is our ability to draw on Norway's leadership in EV infrastructure, combined with our collaborations with top-tier partners like Google and Bentley Systems, to deliver cutting-edge solutions. The challenge we face is significant: the current pace of infrastructure development is insufficient to meet the future demands of the booming EV market. The market is highly fragmented, causing inconvenience for EV users and difficulties for energy companies and local utilities trying to optimize their investments. For instance, the EU mandates the installation of 6,000 new charging points per week by 2030, a target that is far from being met with the current rate of deployment. This gap presents a substantial opportunity for innovative solutions like SurplusMap to make a real difference. At SurplusMap, we focus on ensuring our customers invest wisely. Our sophisticated, map-based software integrates geospatial data and machine learning algorithms to pinpoint optimal sites for new charging stations. This means our clients can invest in the right locations, install the ideal number of chargers, and maintain high utilization rates over time. By doing so, we help them maximize their investments and build a robust EV infrastructure network that meets the demands of the future. We are driven by a vision of cleaner, more sustainable cities. Electric vehicles are crucial in reducing air pollution and creating healthier urban environments. However, the key to this transition lies in the efficient deployment of charging infrastructure that provides greater flexibility to the energy grid, allowing for more renewable energy sources to be integrated. At SurplusMap, we are passionate about facilitating this energy transition. By optimizing EV charging infrastructure, we help accelerate the shift to cleaner energy, positively impacting both the environment and the communities we live in. Join us in our mission to create a greener, more sustainable future through innovative technology and strategic planning. Together, we can drive the change needed to make our cities cleaner and our energy systems more resilient.

Fronted helps companies recruit, employ, and pay global talent — fast, compliant, and without the usual hassle. Hiring internationally should open doors, not slow companies down. Yet most organisations face the same challenges when they expand across borders: roles stay open for months, local salary structures become unsustainable, compliance feels risky and unclear, and teams are assembled through a maze of vendors, tools, and handoffs. Recruiters focus on candidates. Employer-of-Record providers focus on compliance. Payroll vendors handle payments. Consultants offer advice. Each piece exists in isolation — and no one owns the full system. That’s because global hiring isn’t just a legal problem or a payroll problem. It’s a systems problem. Fronted was built to solve that. Fronted is the Global Talent OS — a single system companies use to build, employ, and run global teams. We bring together everything required to scale internationally into one clear, connected platform, backed by one partner. Our approach combines: Precision recruitment: We help companies hire the right people in the right markets, with a focus on long-term performance rather than short-term placement. Nordic-grade compliant workforce management: Employment structures designed to meet local regulations, reduce risk, and stay reliable as companies grow across borders. Payroll and benefits: Accurate, compliant payroll and locally appropriate benefits, handled in one system and aligned with each country’s requirements. Ongoing team stability: Support that goes beyond hiring to help teams stay engaged, productive, and sustainable over time. All of this is built with a Nordic mindset: clarity over complexity, trust over control, and responsible scaling over quick fixes. Fronted enables companies to move beyond borders without losing speed, control, or confidence — turning global hiring from a fragmented process into a system that simply works.

EquaFish is a company developing the only complete decision-making tool for fish farm operation. The AquaCulture industry is facing mass mortality and decreased yields as a result of knowledge and data being fragmented througout the farm. One facility usually have 10-15 different systems, Excell sheets and notes where only 10-15% of the functionality is actually used. EquaFish streamlines, process and visualize the data so that every employee, no matter role, understand the plan, status and future of the production. This $140B problem is faced by salmon farmers, telapia, halibut, shellfish and char farmers all alike. The tech is the same, even though the species is not. EquaFish has a SaaS solution bringing all growth, water quality, mortality and feed data into one, exploiting mathematical and statistical data processing to find causes and effects, which the fish farmer can act upon. The result is higher yield with reduced risks in the production, increased effiency, knowledge sharing and learning with the employees. Finally fish produced in more stable environments with less risk of death and non-friendly conditions. EquaFish was startet on the belief that one of the biggest industries deserve the newest and best tools. The time of post-it notes, Excell and systems from the 90s died 15years ago and the AquaCulture industry didnt get the memo. So if you want to create real change for a sustainable, profitable and animal friendly industry, EquaFish is the place that gets that done.

Lyfta is building the operating system for strength training. Today, millions of people go to the gym without a clear plan, without tracking properly, and without understanding whether they’re actually progressing. Most tools in the space optimize for engagement, not outcomes. We think that’s the wrong approach. Strength training is one of the highest-leverage activities for long-term health, but only if it’s structured, consistent, and measurable. That’s what we’re building, a system that helps people train with clarity, track real progress, and improve over time. Lyfta is already used by over a million people globally, with strong growth month over month. We’re still early, but the ambition is clear: build the product people rely on to get stronger, not just another app they use occasionally.

GitHub made it easy for the world to build software together. SomebodyMakeIt does the same for physical products. SomebodyMakeIt is infrastructure for distributed production and licensing. We are rebuilding how physical products get made, and sold. Right now, getting something made means email threads, spreadsheets, a sourcing agent who knows a guy, and a ten thousand unit bet placed a year before anybody knows whether it sells. Software got world class infrastructure for building together two decades ago. Nothing you can hold ever did. So we're building it. A brand, a studio or an inventor publishes what they want made: what, where, and at what royalty. Our AI structures it into a real project in minutes and returns a ranked shortlist of producers matched on capability, capacity and delivery record rather than on who they happen to know. The licence, the brand rules, the approved files, the partners, the work and the money all live in one system, and everybody on the product line is paid from the same sale. What works travels: the same design and the same rules open the next product line, the next market and the next producer, close to the people who buy it. What it is like here. Two founders out of Norway. Tonje came from film and entertainment and has spent ten years building tech companies. Weronika trained as an architect, works as a full stack engineer and was at Spacemaker before Autodesk bought it. We are AI native by default, we ship in days rather than quarters, and everything we build is set up once and made to repeat.
