Today, Dogu has a team of 19 brave nerds working from 5 offices to build and operate amazing products: SalesScreen and LiveScreen.The name Dogu is an acronym for Data og Utvikling which in Norwegian means Data and Development. We would have trademarked it, but Dogu happens to also be a Japanese mythical figurine dating back to over 10 000 years ago.So, what sets us apart and what makes us special?Aside from our finesse at the most important of startup sports, such as foosball, pingpong and beer pong, we do a LOT of activities together. We have a monthly budget for team building, which can be used for anything from Friday lunches at a restaurant to GoKarts and Lazer Tag to buying a new BBQ grill or Playstation 4 to play. But it’s not the STUFF that’s important, it’s the PEOPLE. Every day, we talk about the importance of building great culture. We invest in our people, in a BIG way!Professional development and growth is hugely important to us and we place a premium on face-to-face time and team building activities. We serve as groomsmen in each other’s weddings, we enjoy hanging out together on the weekends, and we plan each other’s bachelor parties. As cliche’ as it may sound, we really are best friends… and at the end of the day, that commitment that we have to each other pours out in our passion for building great products.We have a very horizontal leadership structure and do things not because we have to but because we want to. This company is 100% employee owned and we all care about the growth and success because we are invested in it… I’m not talking financially, I’m talking emotionally. We care about what we do and while one of our product mottos is “Never stop at “good enough” when you can be GREAT!”, we strive to go beyond great. We want to be known as entrepreneurs who dream big, plan well and dare to do the impossible.In addition to what sets us apart as people, there are some unique traits that set us apart as a company:1.

Seidr builds software that turns months of manual site selection and early-phase engineering work into hours of automated analysis, for developers of energy-intensive industrial projects: Power-to-X, data centers, and other power-hungry industries across Europe. Today, finding and qualifying a site for one of these projects takes 6-18 months and can cost millions, because the work is done manually, spreadsheet by spreadsheet, consultant by consultant, one candidate site at a time. Critical blockers, such as insufficient grid capacity or zoning conflicts, often surface only after months of work, when changing course is expensive. Seidr automates this. Our platform screens candidate sites in parallel against dozens of criteria, including grid capacity, current and future zoning, and environmental risk, and returns a ranked, decision-ready shortlist in hours instead of months. The underlying logic is built on real industrial project experience, not generic AI. We already have a signed, paying pilot customer and a growing pipeline of Power-to-X and data center developers across the Nordics and Germany. Backed by a venture studio, we are now looking for a CEO to take Seidr from pilot to scale, and to grow the platform from site selection into the full early-phase planning stack for energy-intensive projects.

Carpooling solves three major societal problems; lack of mobility outside the big cities, congestion during rush hour and CO2 emissions from the transport sector. Nabogo is a solution with the mission that everyone enjoys city-like public mobility - we make it affordable for society, companies, and citizens. There are only 1.08 people in a commuter car on average, which leads to queues, pollution and time wasted in traffic. Furthermore, finding parking spaces in cities, towns and near large workplaces has not become easier. And last but not least, the high proportion of cars with one person has a significant negative impact on the environment. With a dedicated effort for carpooling, it is not unrealistic that together we can reduce the number of cars and CO2 emissions by up to 25%. That is why we have created nabogo, a carpooling service for daily trips and commuting between districts, towns, business areas and stations. Our primary customers are public transport companies, municipalities, regions and the corporate sector. Once the solution is established in an area, it can be used at no cost to users. Naturally, a successful transition to carpooling requires active support from municipalities, educational institutions, businesses and local communities to spread information about the possibility of greener and more affordable commuting. Fortunately, we are well on our way here with several cross-cutting collaborations. A core functionality of the nabogo app is our pre-defined meeting points, which are places where people drive to and from and pass by - and which function as fixed pick-up and drop-off points for carpooling. This makes it easy and fast to coordinate carpooling, while creating a new infrastructure and improved mobility in the area. The app is closely integrated with public transport to show all the possibilities. We establish meeting points in collaboration with our partners, and this function ensures good hubs between carpooling and public transport, for example at stations. Nabogo is thus a complete alternative to driving alone in your own car. In collaboration with the municipalities, communication efforts are directed towards districts and towns, and we engage businesses and educational institutions so that citizens are informed where they live, work or study. Nabogo is found in the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and Norway.

Nexus Connect is developing a platform for companies to controll their shareholders and rasiekapital in the same solution. We help manage ownership and raise money without spreadsheets, paper and scattered tools. What sets it apart is one registry-grade source of truth: the shareholder register, cap table, general meetings, share issues and investor portal are built on the same data, so what a company does in Nexus is also what it is legally required to record. Every company is required to keep a shareholder register, to hold general meetings with proper notice, voting and minutes, to report its shareholders to the Tax Administration every year, and to document every share issue and transfer. For most small and growing companies this work is spread across spreadsheets, email threads, PDFs and accountants, and it gets harder with every new investor, convertible loan or funding round. Mistakes are easy to make and costly to fix: a wrong share number, a missing transfer or a badly documented meeting can hold up a funding round, a sale or an audit. Investors face the same problem from the other side, with no single place to see what they own and what is happening in the companies they have invested in. The problem grows as more investors invest directly in startups and small companies, and every company that raises money from many small investors multiplies the paperwork. Nexus gives the company one place where ownership lives. The digital shareholder register tracks each share by its number, as the law requires, not just by count, and keeps the history of former shareholders. On top of that sit a full cap table (share classes, options, splits, dividends), convertible loans and SLIP/SAFE agreements that can be converted into shares inside the platform, and general meetings and board meetings with notices, digital voting and minutes. For capital raises, Nexus supports share issues and investor campaigns with the investor-protection steps the EU crowdfunding rules require, such as the knowledge test, the key investment information sheet and a reflection period. Investors get their own portal, where they see their holdings, sign documents and vote.

Customers include Telenor, Cognite and Aker BioMarine. 4.

EMerald Geomodelling is a spin-off from the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI). Though we are a young company founded in 2019, our business is built on a decade of research and development at NGI. We are creating a tool that revolutionizes the way we build roads, railways, tunnels, and other types of infrastructure towards a more sustainable use of resources. By using AI to detect patterns and manage uncertainties, we provide critical insights early on in large building projects that help our clients make better decisions. Why do we do this? Worldwide, building infrastructure costs billions of dollars. Too often, actual costs go way over budget. These extra billions spent are a huge burden on society. Our mission is to lessen that burden. By helping our clients build roads, railways, and tunnels with fewer costly interventions, we help free up funds for other worthy social and environmental goals.
