Manual to Video (manualtovideo.com) turns the PDF assembly or instruction manual a company already has into an animated, captioned, step-by-step video in its own brand. The problem: most products people assemble come with a PDF manual, and customers would rather watch the step than guess. Filming or animating a video for every product is a large job. Manual to Video starts from the manual that already exists. How it works: upload the PDF manual or paste a link to it, and get a free preview of your own manual as a film. Then order the full film: 1 to 5 minutes online, longer on request, ready within 24 hours, or first in line with Express. Every film follows the manual's own steps in the same order, with the parts, tools and warnings it shows, in the brand's colours and logo. Captions are included, and a calm voice-over and light music can be added, in many languages. The website works in 12 languages. Who it is for: brands, manufacturers and online shops whose customers assemble, install or set up a product, such as flat-pack furniture, fitness equipment, bikes, appliances, electronics, grills, toys and nursery products, outdoor and garden products, machinery and DIY kits, plus work instructions and SOPs. Brands use the films on product pages, behind a QR code in the box and in support replies. Pricing is pay per film with no subscription: free preview, full films from $119 excl. VAT, and packs for brands with large ranges. Manual to Video is made by NorwAI AS in Oslo, Norway. It is not Manual.to (a separate work instructions app).

ProTag is building a Digital Product Passport platform that helps manufacturers and product owners manage and share product data across their supply chains. We solve the growing challenge of fragmented, unstructured information by combining a network-driven SaaS platform with AI that turns messy supplier data into structured, usable product intelligence. Across industries, a new reality is emerging: products are no longer just physical objects, they are data assets. To sell, operate, and scale, companies need reliable information about what goes into their products, where it comes from, and how it evolves over time. The problem is that this data does not exist in one place. It is scattered across suppliers, stored in PDFs, buried in emails, or locked inside disconnected systems. Most companies today are trying to manage this with spreadsheets and manual processes. That might work internally, but it breaks down completely across a supply chain. This creates a structural problem: • Companies depend on data they do not own • Suppliers struggle to provide consistent information • Teams spend significant time chasing, cleaning, and validating data At the same time, external pressure is increasing. Customers, partners, and regulators are all asking for more transparency. What used to be “nice to have” is quickly becoming required to do business. The result is a growing gap between what companies need to know about their products and what they can actually access and trust. ProTag gives companies a way to build a live, structured view of their products across the entire supply chain. Instead of trying to centralize everything manually, we connect the different actors and let data flow where it is created. Companies use ProTag to: • Organize product data in a consistent structure • Request and receive information directly from suppliers • Keep everything updated as products evolve • Share product data with customers and partners when needed AI plays a critical role in making this scalable. We use AI to: • Turn unstructured documents into structured product data • Identify gaps, inconsistencies, and risks in real time • Reduce the effort required to onboard suppliers and maintain data quality What makes ProTag different is how it scales. We are not just building a tool for a single company. We are building a network. When one manufacturer joins ProTag, their suppliers are invited in. When those suppliers join, they can reuse their data across multiple customers. Over time, this creates a shared data layer where: • Information becomes easier to access • Data quality improves naturally • Switching costs increase for everyone involved We do not replace existing systems. We sit on top of them and connect them. This makes adoption fast and reduces friction from day one. We started ProTag because we experienced this problem firsthand. Working in industries with complex products, we saw how much time was spent chasing information that should have been readily available. Engineers, quality teams, and commercial teams were all dealing with the same issue from different angles, but there was no real solution. At the same time, the direction of the market became clear. Transparency around products is increasing, not decreasing. The amount of data required is growing fast. Most companies are not prepared for this shift. We realized this is not just a workflow problem, it is an infrastructure problem. The way product data is managed today does not match how supply chains actually work. That is why we are building ProTag. Our ambition is simple: to become the default way companies manage and share product data across supply chains. Once that layer exists, it unlocks everything else.

I’m building Nuviou — an AI-powered career assistant that helps people figure out what they truly want to do and gives them a clear, personalized plan to get hired. It's like having a personal strategist at a fraction of the cost for a career coach , from self-discovery to job offer. I’ve built this solo so far — MVP’s in alpha, backed by Innovasjon Norge, won a pitch competition, and there’s solid early traction. But it’s time to stop building alone. Most people care deeply about their careers. The real problem? Career reflection is slow, exhausting, and restarts every time. I’m building Nuviou so that you only have to do it once — and then you own it, forever.

Nabostylisten is a platform offering beauty services performed at the comfort of your home, office, friends place, nursing home, ANYWHERE. We give buyers a chance to get beauty services performed wherever they are located. We help beauty stylists create a living out of their dreams and to be their own boss by giving them a platform to showcase their work, get bookings and a dashboard with all necessary tools. The way people use beauty services today is unnecessary complicated. There is a million different choices and they are all on different platforms, lacking a uniformed list of information. Beauty services are performed in salons- as they have been for the last 100 years. In recent years more and more stylists have transferred their businesses to Instagram where they can showcase pictures of their work and get in touch with potential clients, doing their bookingsystem via direct messages. This has resulted in a huge and unstructured beauty service market, confusing for both buyers and sellers. Making it difficult for buyers to get an overview of the offers and for stylists to be visible for customers, as well as a lacking booking system. On top of this buyers still have to travel to the salons and set all of their responsibilities aside to get a service performed in a salon. This problem affects men and women, in all ages and lifestyles all over the world. Especially in Norway with our remote landscape, hectic lifestyles and beauty needs always developing. Nabostylistens solution to the mentioned problems above is a one-stop-hub for buying and selling beauty services. Giving a full and uniformed overview of stylists and their services within your area with prices, pictures, duration, descriptions, bio of stylist, timeslots available and a booking flow. Customers can choose to get the service done at their location to fit beauty needs into their hectic everyday life. Stylists will only need nabostylisten for all of their duties, booking overview, chat, services and profile, income section, working schedule and a platform to showcase their business. Nabostylisten is founded by Tomas Erdis, a well known and sought after makeup artist with over 13 years of experience. Tomas is one of Norways absolute best and most booked stylists. He has worked with brands, celebrities, other profiles and regular customers. He noticed that normal people did not know if they were allowed to book him for his services, or how to do it. He has been delivering services at location all of his career and noticed that for other stylists this was not the regular way to work. He was able to meet his clients needs by travelling to them, and in doing so he became very popular. 
Tomas knows what it’s like to be on your own, trying to get a name for yourself in the business. He wants to help other stylists so that they do not have to go through the same challenges as he did. He also wants buyers to be able to express their beauty needs and for everyone, no matter who you are to get beauty services that suit you!

Our mission is to enable people to own their own health ❤️‍🩹. The current healthcare system is based on a model of system-first treatment, where the doctor 👨🏻‍⚕️owns the care and the patients comes in for consultations. The system is overwhelmed and people need to take more ownership of their health. But all solutions are based on a system-first 🏛️ thinking and people are feeling left out 🤷🏻‍♀️. Systems keep failing, health platforms never deliver. We bring the patient and doctor together with a single pane of glass 🪟 on your health and make it a conversation on equal terms. We believe that the future of healthcare and medicine is dependent on an inverted healthcare journal on the patients side 🚀. Our team 👭👭 has a proven track record building best in class products in companies like Google, Babylon Health, Oda, Schibsted, Finn, VG, AirHelp. We are experienced in building AI based 🧠 healthcare services scaling to global reach. As an early member of our startup, we offer ownership of shares, as opposed to options in other startups.
