New drugs for treating diseases of Down syndrome. More than 1% of the global GDP is spent on nursing demented people, and the number requiring nursing will triple within 2050. The disease is progressive, leading to death. There is no current cure available, only symptomatic treatments. Individuals born with Down syndrome have a more than 10x risk of developing dementia as well as a host of other diseases including diabetes. Our drug target, DYRK1A is an enzyme found on chromosome 21, and is considered a key factor determining developmental and medical challenges faced by individuals with Down. The enzyme interacts with multiple biological mechanisms involved in Alzheimer’s and autoimmune diseases. Advanced drug designUsing advanced drug design technologies, we have designed a potent DYRK1A inhibitor drug, PST-900. A use and substance of matter patent have been applied for. The company is currently working on chemical Lead Optimisation with 8 full-time medicinal chemists contracted.Financing and milestonesThe Company raised NOK 5 million in 2015 and 8.8 MNOK in 2016/2017, matching non-dilutive research (BIA) and business grants (Innovation Norway). We demonstrated Proof of Principle in a model system for Alzheimer’s disease in 2Q2016. We have also demonstrated that our drug is capable of reversing diabetes in an animal model. Together with clinical and regulatory advisors, we have identified an important unmet need for a drug to treat newly diagnosed diabetes. We will use this indication to quickly progress to market and from there develop analogous drug molecules in Alzheimer’s disease, focused especially in Down syndrome. Funding soughtThe current funding round will raise 15+ MNOK to fund the progression to the final Development Candidate during 2018. Following this, further funding will be sought to perform toxicology/safety and Phase 1 clinical studies.

Vaskeladden is an AI-driven cleaning platform. We are not a cleaning agency with an app bolted on top - we build AI from the ground up, across pricing, customer acquisition, operations and support. Founded in 2022 by two 18-year-olds who saw a fragmented, inefficient cleaning market and thought it could be done better with technology. In late 2025 Patrick Skjennum - co-founder and former CTO of the AI company Strise - joined as the third co-founder, and Vaskeladden was reborn as a technology company. The market is huge and fragmented: around 10,000 cleaning agencies in Norway and 400,000 across Europe. Most are small operators with no commercial engine, brand or management. Vaskeladden consolidates them digitally - think Bolt or Foodora, but for cleaning. Customers get one point of contact, a customer portal and a quality guarantee. Partners get demand, brand and tooling. Our platform handles pricing, sales, onboarding, quality control and follow-up. We move fast, we are AI-native in everything we do, and we build for scale. We are based in Oslo and expanding across Norway's biggest cities first.

A cloud-based industrial IoT solution for manufacturers of all sizes that boosts productivity with powerful analytics in a pay-as-you-go package - Improving productivity of the factory in terms of man, machine, and time efforts. Optimizing the factory capacity for production by keeping in mind orders, stock of raw materials, and multiple other factors. - Scrap management - you are too late in the process if you realize that a specific order is producing scrap. UpKip's goal is to identify scrap before the order is launched for manufacturing. - Higher asset utilization. CNC machines have monitoring and control software installed on their monitors and controllers, but one person monitoring one machine is too expensive. UpKip allows for one factory worker (machine operator) to monitor multiple machines. The goal is to increase this load to 10 machines per worker. - Compliance, quality assurance, and reporting of all types of manufacturing KPIs to interest groups (customers, partners, sister/mother/group companies, and owners) to the factory. Certain interest groups nowadays are interested in being more vested in the entire process and understanding their supplier processes for example. Making sure there is traceability in the process is important to make sure quality standards are matched. Nearshore and offshore manufacturing facilities are often faced with daily and real-time reporting.

Parallelo er et teknologiselskap som hjelper arkitekter og utbyggere å designe bedre boliger – raskere. Boligbransjen er blant de minst digitaliserte næringene i verden. Hvert bygg tegnes fra grunnen av, og avgjørende beslutninger om leilighetsmiks, markedspotensial og bærekraft tas ofte uten reelle data. Parallelo endrer dette. Gjennom avanserte algoritmer genererer og optimaliserer Parallelo komplette leilighetsplaner på sekunder. Plattformen lar arkitekter og utviklere jobbe tettere sammen, utforske flere alternativer - og har dokumentert å gi prosjekter bedre arealutnyttelse, lavere CO₂-avtrykk og typisk 10 - 15 % høyere prosjektverdi. Vi jobber tett sammen med Coera, Nordens raskest voksende arkitektkontor, for å utvikle og teste løsninger i reelle prosjekter. Som utvikler i Parallelo får du jobbe side om side med arkitekter, designere og planleggere – med kort vei fra kode til faktisk verdi. I Parallelo tror vi på More Room to Play – en kultur med frihet, tillit og høyt tempo. Du får frihet til å utforske nye ideer, jobbe fra hvor du vil, og være med på å forme hvordan fremtidens boliger og byer blir til.
