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.

THE URGENT ISSUE IN TODAY'S JOB MARKET IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES: ✪ Traditional recruitment prioritizes CV algorithms and keywords over human potential, by an astonishing 90%. When ATS/AI control who gets seen, we lose the most important factor: the human behind the CV. This creates not just unemployment, but social exclusion - when people can't find work, they lose connection to society and experience profound isolation. ✪ Todays recruitment methods are narrowly fixated purely on qualifications and historical experience, relying heavily on algorithms to sift through CVs. This approach overlooks the unique talents and motivations of individuals, drivingforces, personality and thus missing out on valuable opportunities for growth and success. ✪ THE RESULT: People are often using ChatGPT or Copilot to write their applications + HR are using AI to read them = nobody is getting hired. ✪ Sweden struggles with high youth unemployment and urban-rural divides. Refugee integration remains uneven, and platform work is eroding traditional protections. Union influence is waning, especially in tech and service sectors. ✪ Denmark’s famed flexicurity model is under pressure. Women are overrepresented in part-time roles, and older workers exit early. Gig work is expanding faster than regulation, challenging collective bargaining norms. ✪ Finland faces persistent long-term unemployment and mental health-related exclusion. Industrial restructuring is shifting jobs to tech hubs, leaving peripheral regions behind. Labor mobility remains low despite retraining efforts. In conclusion; the Nordic countries face mounting labor market exclusion despite strong welfare models. Norway leads with 700,000 adults outside the labor force, driven by regional stagnation, immigrant underemployment, and early retirement. The green and digital transitions are creating jobs—but not where displaced workers live. THE PERFECT STORM FOR US! TURNING THE RECRUITMENT MARKET UPSIDE-DOWN «From employer initiated to 100% talent focused.» Our Solution: Talentity.ai = AI meets empathy! Nordic's first community for job seekers, where talent takes center stage. Meeting the talents, rather than relying on historical data on a piece of paper. Creating an empathic AI, that combines human expertise with technology, supporting decision making and not taking over the entire process.
