Our goal is to fix the issues with IT recruitment by challenging the role WE used to have for many years. The issues are that:1. It's hard to know who's best for a job because we rely on manual evaluations based on CV-descriptions.2. It's even harder to know where you can find the best candidates because it's time consuming and expensive to track and promote on all platforms.Now, the easiest solution is to hire a recruitment agency (like we used to be), and receive candidates from their private database. But when the price range form 5000-15 0000$ per hire, very few companies can afford this. And you still have to trust that the agency have fixed the two issues above, and that their recommendations are not influenced by the potential payout.That's why we are creating a tool that matches candidates and companies so precisely that there should be no doubts to who you should interview. We match your skill need to everyone who has applied for the job and everyone who has applied for other jobs, so that you don't have to limit your talent access to only your own marketing efforts and budget. And we are only charging 500$ per process, with unlimited hires and users.

GIRL CRUSH is a creative agency working with social media, videoproduction and photography. In addition we have a web magazine trying to inspire girls to follow their dreams! In 2018/19 we are also launching a new co working space designed and specialized for our target audiance.Our clients are companies, PR-agencies, influencers and webshops.We thrive to encourage girls and women to be authentic, brave, curious, openminded and supportive! Our agency is also a community with values we believe is very important in order to pursue our ambitions in the social media world. Having been sister rivals in the childhood we eventually found out that values and goals were and are the same, and for a long time we dreamt of working together, whether it should be the start of a different online magazine for women, fashion design or advertising. We see the final pieces fall into place, and found that working with content creation for social media is where we can complement each other in the best possible way.  GIRL CRUSH wants to encourage women to not compare, we must stop feeling threatened by others we think are better than ourselves. "It's strange to say out loud, but my ideal of beauty is myself at my best. I would imagine that this summer I'll have tighter thighs and a little more bouncy ass, but I'm still ME. Jessica Alba is the prettiest woman I've ever seen, but I am not supposed to look like her."  There is no doubt that there are fewer female entrepreneurs in our country, and one of the most stupid causes of it, is that girls and women are each others' worst enemies. "In connection with a job interview, I took a personality test that shows that I am extremely individualist, ie; I prefer to do things alone, and choose to rely on my own skills and instincts rather than seek contact with other people. I know what I'm good at. I want to be independent and autonomous, thrive alone in a private company and have from time to time some good moments with confidence on top and think I can do everything by myself (remember that self-esteem and self-confidence is not the same). But now I have realized that this 'trait' (which I until now, have called it), is not particularly lucky if I want to achieve something in life. I will not stand alone. Why should I, when I know that together with other good people (especially women), we can accomplish so much more? I would rather ask myself; What can I do to encourage and embrace women around me? Is it possible that someone needs my help? When was the last time I did something meaningful for another woman in my industry? And as journalist Lindsey Saletta wrote in an article; is there anything inside me holding me back from supporting women? " says co-founder Siri. And at last, we want to explore the beauty inside women, we want to encourage women to be comfortable within themselves and not strive perfection! #selflove

Moonwalk designs startup challenges organised as programs. Alone or together with a strategic or financial partner. A program creates startups and runs for two semesters with paying participants. Then the program is incorporated. With participants as sweat equity part owners of the entire portfolio. An equity crowdfunding campaign decides how many startups are launched. Moonwalk is a 100 days startup hatcher and accelerator. No one should work here for any other reason than that they really want to. I had to figure out a way to fund and source the competence of people, but also fund their activity so that we can share in the outcome. No one had really given me any pointers on how to do that, so I had to find a new model of crowdfunding, crowdsourcing and shared ownership. Me and my colleague Victor developed that over the course of two years. He was a previous customer and the most talented person I know in the areas of value-chains and complexity. I asked him to join me and he said yes. We are in this together.
