About Us: We are an Oslo-based independent entertainment and media production company, founded in 2019. Our team members have backgrounds from such diverse fields as banking, finance, business administration, advertising, film production and games development. We also have extensive experience with successful social media influencing, content creation and community building, particularly on Youtube and Facebook. The Problem: Self-actualization is becoming increasingly difficult in a changing and tumultuous world. For many, the cumulative effects of pandemic crisis, financial recession, political polarization and a hardened job market is frustration, and a greater need for entertainment and escapism as a means of self-actualization through vicarious experiences. Our vision is to fulfill this growing need for self-actualization. Our mission is to develop globally scalable products that fulfill the needs the marketplace does not adequately cater to today, and which are capable of surviving both recessions and pandemic crisis. Product/Solution: Our product is entertainment brands, based on proprietary video game properties. We aim to establish these brands first as videogame properties, and then use the passion and investment of gaming audiences as the gateway to expand these videogame properties into Transmedia franchises - including comics, third party merchandise and apparel, as well as licensed adaptations in other media, such as film and animation. Opportunity: The Gaming Market is global from day one, with digital gaming storefronts such as Steam, PSN and XBOX Live retaining millions of existing customers worldwide. Gamers are a heavily invested group of customers with both a high willingness to pay, as well as established networks of influencers and discussion forums, which greatly facilitates advertising efforts. Furthermore, gaming has been proven to be both Recession- and Pandemic proof, with game sales being largely unaffected by 2008 financial crisis, while sales records were broken during the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. Consumer behavior during the ongoing crisis has further confirmed the need for (and subsequently, the financial potential in) self-actualization through entertainment. Why us, and why now: We are passionate about entertainment and the creative process, we have business understanding, insight into the fan mindset and a unique strategy which enables us to see and seize upon opportunities the incumbents in the gaming market have missed. Furthermore, the recent crisis has caused many of these incumbents to struggle with adapting their organization and cost structure to the current working climate. By contrast, a start-up like us may be better suited to develop a sustainable and scalable production pipeline fit for the economy we are moving into. Right now is the perfect time to enter the entertainment- and videogame markets.

Kindernay has developed the world's first, light-weight, robust, and reliable substitute to derailleurs. The Kindernay XIV. The story of Kindernay is a story about passion for cycling and new technologies. We ride trail, DH, freeride, enduro, XC, transport, and road bikes. Sometimes we ride hard, sometimes for fun. We’ve won national level races, and we’ve crashed. Sometimes we break stuff: bikes, parts, and legs. Beside, we’re also engineers, and have decades of experience in the development of complex mechanical devices. Our inventions are on the seabed, terra firma, and in space too. And we’ve delved deep, to bring about innovative transmission parts for automotive brands such as Porsche AG, VAG, and BMW, and heavy truck makers, like MAN, Daimler-Benz, Volvo, and Scania. But that’s another story. We are cyclist and we love our bikes… but we also want them to be better. We believe in a world where gear systems are internal; and here we are, having developed the worlds first, light-weight, robust, and reliable, real substitute to derailleurs. The Kindernay XIV.

The Pitch Most tidal power plants today generate power only in one direction. Projected, next-generation tidal power plants with two-way production have sub-optimal production. Tidetec patented technology improves efficiency by 11-22% of the most cost effective tidal turbine technology by obtaining optimal efficiency both ways and pumping efficiency. This is achieved by integrating the turbine into a rotating turret. The turning mechanism is patented, and has received international recognition. The What Tidetec can kick-start a huge UK Market The How Tidetec has developed a fully functional scale model prototype of the turning mechanism. The turning mechanism prototype has been successfully tested in sea water for two months. Prototyping has shown feasibility of the concept and the model turbine simulations and testing confirm turbine efficiencies much higher than state of the art traditional turbines for 2-way hydropower. In summary, prototyping engineering, feasibility studies and cost estimations of the Tidetec concept have proven major efficiency increase compared to traditional concepts. The results show that the Tidetec concept is potentially disruptive technology for 2-way hydropower in Tidal lagoons and barrages, and can kick-start this market.

Everything is interconnected making sure all data is gathered in one big backend, we apply machine learning to the data to make business recommendations on guest experience, staffing, etc. Quickorder is a fast-moving company where people with excellence strive. Key traits: We love these 5 key traits in our fellow colleagues: Curiosity, High work capacity, empathy, self-awareness and, Integrity In Quickorder we look at ourselves as a  pro sports team, and not a family. In a family, there is unconditional love but in a sports team you need to perform in order to be a part of the team if one guy or girl on the team falls through the whole team is in danger of doing so too. The Quickorder team: in the Quickorder team, all colleagues are extraordinary at what they do and excellent collaborators. The value and satisfaction of being a part of such a team are tremendous. Our vision of a great workplace doesn't consist of exclusive roundtable meetings with expensive catered food, gym facilities, fancy office spaces, or frequent parties with colleagues. Our version of the best workplace is a team where working towards and pursuing a common goal and vision creates real value. Therefore we decide to spend on that, instead of fancy dinners or crazy parties. We believe it is on such a team that you learn the most, perform the best, improves the fastest, and have the most fun.  At Quickorder collaboration and trust is thriving and are an essential part of the team. There is no room for " brilliant jerks" the cost to the teamwork is simply too high. succeeding as a part of Quickorder requires being effective, not working hard. A, B performances with tons of work put into it make for a mediocre result whereas a truly excellent performance doesn't need a ton of work in order to make a great impact.  Freedom and responsibility: Our goal is to inspire people, more than to manage them. We believe that great performers that are part of a team know the better solution, and therefore it's not the managers' duty to tell how things should be done, but merely to set the context so that the employee can find the best possible solution. We trust in freedom, and constantly tries to take new actions in order to improve the amount of freedom our employees possess, some examples of what we do are: Employees got an unlimited amount of vacation (only 6 paid weeks) Our policy vacation is " take vacation, and use ALL of your 6 weeks) Employees get tailored work hours that fit their work/life balance Our policy for spending, travel, and other costs is very simple: "Only spend like you would your self, and always spend in Quickorders best interest"
