Tenol - Connecting Youth With Opportunity

Tenol is developing a structured recruitment platform to help young candidates and local businesses solve the gap between first-job seekers and relevant entry-level job opportunities through practical matching, candidate screening and a clearer recruitment process. Many young people struggle to get their first job, not necessarily because they lack motivation, but because the path into work is unclear. They often do not know where to start, how to present themselves, or how to become visible to employers. At the same time, many businesses need motivated people for full- or part-time roles, extra help, weekend shifts and practical tasks, but do not always have the time or structure to find and assess young candidates properly. This creates a gap between young people who want to work and businesses that need help. Tenol is focused on making that connection easier, safer and more structured. Tenol helps candidates register their interest, availability and profile in a structured way. Businesses can describe their needs, such as role, working hours, requirements and preferred candidate profile. Tenol then works to match candidates with relevant opportunities based on practical fit, including availability, motivation, role requirements and communication. Instead of only forwarding names, Tenol aims to provide businesses with clearer candidate shortlists and structured candidate presentations. The goal is to reduce friction for businesses while giving young candidates a more professional and understandable path into working life. The motivation behind Tenol comes from seeing how difficult the first step into working life can be for many young people. A lot of candidates are motivated, but they are not always given a clear or fair way to show it. At the same time, businesses often need reliable help, but the process of finding young candidates can be time-consuming and unstructured. Tenol was started because this connection can be better. First jobs matter. They build confidence, experience, responsibility and future opportunities. Tenol exists to make that first connection between candidate and employer more practical, structured and human.

Tind Studio

Tind Studio is an AI consultancy that helps Nordic businesses turn AI from hype into working solutions, through hands-on advisory, custom implementations, and team enablement. Most companies know AI will reshape their business but don't know where to start. Tools are everywhere, vendors overpromise, and internal teams lack the time and expertise to separate signal from noise. The result: stalled pilots, wasted spend, and missed competitive advantage. We work side-by-side with leadership and operational teams to identify high-value AI use cases, build custom solutions (agents, automations, internal tools, AI-powered workflows), and train teams to actually use them. Pragmatic, fast, and focused on real business outcomes, not demos. The Why Founder Joakim saw too many companies burning budget on AI projects that never shipped or never got adopted. Tind exists to close that gap, turning AI from a boardroom topic into measurable results in the day-to-day work.

AddMeetings

AddMeetings is an AI-powered meeting qualification platform for B2B professionals. It is the first place where they can say, “Find my time on AddMeetings,” knowing every meeting request comes with a pitch-first approach and a paywall, ensuring relevance, intent, and zero spam. Only high-quality conversations make it through. Decision makers are overwhelmed by a flood of cold, irrelevant, low-quality outreach and meeting requests every day. With the rise of automation, inboxes are full of noise, making it harder to spot valuable opportunities. AddMeetings solves this by filtering and qualifying inbound meeting requests so buyers only see the ones worth their time. The explosion of AI-powered sales tools has made outbound outreach faster—but not smarter. B2B professionals are overwhelmed with irrelevant messages, low-quality pitches, and wasted time. Yet, there's no platform built for the recipient. AddMeetings is solving this at the perfect moment. We're flipping the script with an AI-powered meeting qualification platform designed for decision makers. As outbound automation floods inboxes, professionals now need a smart gatekeeper. With AddMeetings, they can simply say, “Find my time on AddMeetings,” and trust that every request has passed through a pitch-first, pay-to-pitch filter, stopping spam at the source and surfacing only valuable conversations. The shift is clear: from volume to value, from sender-first to recipient-first. AddMeetings is leading that shift.

ABchar

ABchar is developing a new type of pyrolysis reactor, affordable heating and the possibility of small-scale biochar production, adapted to agriculture.. This will help achieve the goal of a 40% reduction in emissions from the agricultural sector. What is pyrolysis? Simply put, this is the heating of an organic material without access to oxygen. This leads to a series of reactions that ultimately result in 3 main products; biochar, oil and gas. We want to utilize the biochar in this process. The oil and gas will be burned and the heat from this will be used to dry grain, heat barns, greenhouses, residential buildings and other things that need heat on a farm. Why pyrolysis and biochar? Plants absorb CO2 from the air around us through photosynthesis. They are actually extremely good at this too. The residual product is mainly oxygen and the plant material. The great thing about pyrolysis is that we are able to separate water, oxygen and hydrogen from the plant material and we are left with more or less pure carbon 80% +. This is carbon from the air! If we take this coal and spread it on our agricultural land, it will be stored there for up to 1000 years and perhaps longer. In some cases, the soil will become more fertile and less vulnerable to periods of too much or too little water.

IT.no

IT.no ble stiftet sent i 2020 med en klar visjon om å forenkle IT og digitalisere Norges bedrifter. Målet var å klare dette med til gunstige priser og den beste kundereisen med ansatte som har langvarig erfaring fra bransjen. Vi skulle bistå både som en komplett IT-avdeling for bedriftene, men også for muligheten til å begrense tilbudet til medhjelpere for eksisterende IT-ressurser hos kundene. Gründerne i selskapet har begge langvarig erfaring fra ISP og IT bransjen der de bygget opp egne avdelinger. Det var viktig at både en tekniker og en selger begge stod på eiersiden for å ivareta produkt og service så vel som det kommersielle. NØKKELINFO 7MNOK omsetning 2021 183% omsetningsvekst 2022. 11 Ansatte herav 9 teknikere, en selger og en utvikler Ingen eksterne eiere Tilbyr komplette IT-løsninger Oslo basert hovedkontor UTVIKLING Med produkt, “go to market” strategi, visjon og gode innkjøpsavtaler lanserte vi selskapet mot det Norske bedriftsmarkedet i 2021. Det tok ikke lang tid til før flere anerkjente bedrifter stod på kundelisten og flere dyktige ansatte tiltrådde. Selskapet selger i dag hovedsakelig basert på anbefalinger bedrifter i mellom med kun en aktiv selger, men har måttet stoppe salg ved flere for å ivareta gode kundereiser. Vi starter nå et nytt selskap som skal fornye maskinvare/hardware markedet B2B som er bygget på en plattform vi utvikler.

High Voltage Robotics

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.
