StudyBuddies is developing an AI-powered platform to help students form effective, diverse study groups. We solve the challenge of connecting students who struggle with collaboration or feel isolated, using AI to create personalized group matches and foster success throughout their studies. Research shows that a lack of social and academic connections leads to lower engagement and retention rates. We address student isolation and ineffective teamwork—problems that impact academic performance and overall well-being. These issues are prevalent, with studies showing that up to 40% of students feel disconnected during their education. Our focus is on empowering students with tailored study groups that drive learning outcomes and create lasting networks. StudyBuddies leverages AI algorithms to match students based on study preferences, goals, and academic strengths. Our platform includes tools to track progress, promote accountability, and provide real-time feedback. We ensure that all students, regardless of background, can find a supportive community and thrive academically. The idea for StudyBuddies came from my own experiences as a student. I’ve faced group assignments where I ended up without a group at all and failed, and I’ve seen others struggle and lose motivation because they felt lonely and unsupported. These experiences made it clear to me that there has to be a better way to create effective groups and academic communities. This became the driving force behind starting StudyBuddies.

Short Description: Mindbuddy is developing an AI-powered mental training app to help young athletes build confidence, focus, and resilience by combining sports psychology with accessible, easy-to-use tools designed for their daily routines. The What: Mental training is often inaccessible to young athletes due to stigma, cost, or limited resources at clubs. This leaves players struggling with performance anxiety, self-doubt, and inconsistent focus - issues that directly impact their performance and well-being. Despite its importance, mental training remains underutilized, especially in grassroots and academy-level sports. With over 50% of players reporting struggles with confidence and performance pressure, this is a problem that affects millions of young athletes worldwide. The How: Mindbuddy bridges the gap between mental training and accessibility by delivering tailored sports psychology tools directly to players’ phones. Using AI, the app helps players set SMART goals, generate visualization tracks, and build mental routines for training and matches. For clubs, Mindbuddy offers a simple platform to track team well-being, measure progress, and provide coaches with actionable insights - allowing mental training to seamlessly integrate into the day-to-day routines of both players and teams. The Why: As a professional footballer for 18 years, including many as captain of Vålerenga, I’ve experienced firsthand the enormous pressure players face. It wasn’t until the latter part of my career, when I discovered the power of mental training, that I realized how much better prepared and focused I could be. That sparked the idea for Mindbuddy. I wanted to create a tool that made mental training accessible to every young athlete, breaking down the barriers of stigma and cost, and ensuring they can unlock their full potential - both on and off the pitch.

A startup from Haugesund in Norway was established late 2021 aiming to create better and more revolutionary products for building powerlines. There is the slow development of new and innovative products in this industry, which we have experienced ourselves while building powerlines. A quick youtube search on building powerlines will leave you astonished by the old-fashioned techniques and products that are being used. In many areas of the building, it is done in the same way as 20 years ago. Despite all this, the need for reliable power is bigger than ever and continues to grow every year. While the demand is growing, the existing power grid is deteriorating. Our products will make building new powerlines safer, and cheaper and will deliver less environmental damage. Combined with hardware products, software, and AI we make optimized solutions for the future building of energy distribution. We are starting to test products this summer, get confirmation from customers and continue to build product this fall. We are looking for team members who have experience in start ups, business and IT,whom wish to make a real contribution to meet our electric and green goals.
