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.

Short ------ Wepost makes marketing your superpower. We are developing the greatest platform for marketing. We combine artificial intelligence with design to provide high-quality creatives for scale-up companies. Each creative is tailored every individual social media platform based on the company's strategy and publishing plan. Long ----- Problem: The problem is that the vast majority of companies do not know how to use social media marketing strategically or effectively. This leads to them either; 1) spending too much money on paid advertising to reach their target audience, or 2) not having a clear strategy behind their marketing, resulting in low quality content. In the worst cases, they do both. This leads to low visibility and ultimately loss of customers and revenue. In fact, 14% of startups fail as a result of poor marketing. In addition, those who work in marketing experience that daily content production for social media is a repetitive and boring job. They themselves feel that they are overworked, and social media often fall far down the priority list. Solution: Our solution is to use artificial intelligence (AI) to turn marketing into a company's superpower. We create a platform that helps companies create a strategic marketing plan, and then automatically generates the content using AI. The content is adapted to their brand and segment, which makes the software unique on the market. In addition, the service is priced as a software, where there is a public fixed monthly subscription to the content production, something similar services from agencies do not offer today. The focus on software development also makes the service highly scalable, and with our team it is only a matter of time before it is developed.
