Succeeding with your company is not only about building a great product, but also about finding the right investors. This is what we want to help growth companies with - if we can match them with the right people, they can get the help and funding they need to ensure their success.

We believe there’s a better way for companies and investors to meet and collaborate, and we are building a platform to enable this. We strive for an inclusive and collaborative culture that celebrates curiosity and new ideas. We love that we are a multidisciplinary bunch with different skills and experiences, and we really believe in giving everyone the freedom to contribute with what they’re great at.

EMerald Geomodelling is a spin-off from the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI). Though we are a young company founded in 2019, our business is built on a decade of research and development at NGI. We are creating a tool that revolutionizes the way we build roads, railways, tunnels, and other types of infrastructure towards a more sustainable use of resources. By using AI to detect patterns and manage uncertainties, we provide critical insights early on in large building projects that help our clients make better decisions. Why do we do this? Worldwide, building infrastructure costs billions of dollars. Too often, actual costs go way over budget. These extra billions spent are a huge burden on society. Our mission is to lessen that burden. By helping our clients build roads, railways, and tunnels with fewer costly interventions, we help free up funds for other worthy social and environmental goals.

Rich or poor, young or old, artist or not - everyone is welcome.    Diversify art:   Blank Space represents art that isn't commonly found in a gallery setting to help give these forms of art validation in the public eye. Though we believe the definition of art is much broader, we focus on areas such as illustration, animation, comic books, graphic design, street art, film, game design, and concept art. We also work with traditional artists who explore contemporary applications.     Strengthen education:   Blank Space offers a wide variety of workshops, lectures, and events to broaden the creative resources for artists in Oslo. These high quality arrangements vary in topic, theme, and level so that everyone can improve their skills in visual art and design.   Support production:   Blank Space encourages action, not just talk.     Challenge yourself:   Through our studios and events we promote taking risks in art, pushing skills past their current level, and helping others to be the best artist / designer they can be.

PinMeTo was founded on the idea that there should be a smarter way for brands to manage online listings & profiles for all of their locations. Brands with lots of physical locations have to coordinate business info, local communication, and reputation management for all of their locations. It takes a frustrating amount of work, and inaccuracies are almost unavoidable – plus hard to catch. PinMeTo was born in 2013, when three friends – one salesman, two developers – set up shop in a startup incubator in Malmö, Sweden. After years of iterations and improvements, PinMeTo now has about 100 employees in 6 offices, and we’re trusted by enterprise companies like H&M, 7-Eleven, and Hertz. Think of PinMeTo as a really efficient messenger: you add or update location data in PinMeTo, and that data is shared with all of your locations and the networks they’re listed on.
