Octo Ventures, based in Oslo, Norway, is an incubator that initiates, invests in, and develops companies together with external co-founders. Based on investment criteria that have proved to deliver superior returns, we have developed a proprietary algorithm that generates high-potential ideas. Our methodology combines best practices within innovation, product development, and business design to accelerate the process from concept development to MVP and commercial launch.

We are a company that tries to help the world by allowing companies to work more efficiently. There are different companies with different needs, some might need better warehouse planning, and some might need better customer information, but everyone would benefit from automating manual operations and reducing the stuff they need to order or produce. If we connect them to one grid, where all operations between companies are automated (with supervision when it is necessary), then we not only improve customer satisfaction by delivering faster and what people want, but also can significantly reduce waste and improve our ecology.

Apple made one of the most iconic ads “Here’s to the crazy ones” to lift their campaign “Think Different” in 1997. This ad was so “new” and controversial that it since has made history, and is now part of most curriculum in most marketing schools around the globe. It was written by Rob Siltanen, Creative Director for TBWA/Chiat/Day and Creative Director at Apple Lee Clow. It wasn’t Steve Jobs, but it was he who made the quote famous (Originally it was the voice of Richard Dreyfuss in the ad). This, for us marketing geeks, is food for thought, awe and inspiration. Not because of the text itself, Steve as a celebrity, but for what impact that ad had on its audience. Knowing now, in retrospect, the ad was basically describing Steve himself, and beautifully put together with famous “rebels” of their field, we cannot help empathizing and relate to the ad, the history and the text. Don’t get us wrong, we are no rebels. We do not contribute to any groundbreaking tech innovation or have a goal of changing the world. What we believe in, is changing the way advertising is perceived, consumed, and targeted. The glory days of “buying a TV ad and you’re set” have long passed. The effect of “Here’s to the crazy ones” can still be archived, and is our goal in everything we do. We are forever inspired by Steve Jobs, and his rebel being, and we named our company after his ad, written by an agency. The agency does not matter, the sender does.

In this industry, we are not required to disclose the content of the products we sell. There are no requirements for the production, process, or raw material before the products are sold. The vagina is the most absorbent organ you have. If the products you use contain potentially toxic chemicals, you may run the risk of getting them right into your bloodstream. With this in mind as well as an idea for more transparent and to-the-point marketing, the founder of Flove, Jeanett wanted to develop a well-documented menstrual cup, of high quality and without toxic chemicals. After 2,5 years of testing, prototyping, failing, and researching Flove menstrual cup finally launched in May 2019. The cups are designed and developed in Norway and are produced in a certified "clean room" in Taiwan. Jeanette visited the factory in March 2019. The silicone used is certified medical-grade silicone from Dow Corning. The bag coming with the menstrual cup when buying one is made of lyocell Tencel, printed and sewn at Fabrikk Oslo. The packaging is made of carton and is printed at 07 media in Oslo. The goal is to make menstrual cup mainstream and to sell more sustainable products. *  One of the reasons Flove was established was to help girls to stay in school around the world. There are so many girls who can't afford sanitary pads and the result is often that many girls drop out of school. We are looking for the right partner to help us help as many girls as possible to stay in school.

More than 10 years of experience - from pot to plate The maiden voyage of "M/S Donna" started deep in the Varanger fjord in early 2010, in Nesseby / Unjárga, Finnmark. After short calls at Vardø and Mehamn, we ended up at North Cape where we decided to live and become true fishermen with a lot of help from the local and very experienced fishermen. We fished for cod, pollock, haddock, and king crab on "M/S Donna" and later also on "M/S Dunderdonna" in the Porsanger fjord. During this time we also worked at different fish factories. The fishery ended in 2014. Knowing half of the king crabs were considered waste, I knew there was great potential and a better way of doing things - More sustainable and more circular. In 2016 I decided to bring MS Donna back to life with all the good things, except fishing - this time out from Oslo. Since then we have delivered premium products to some of the world's best restaurants. We are working for responsible consumption and production, decent work and economic growth, innovation, climate action, and partnership.

Myldring skaper møteplasser. Vi er arrangører, regissører, tekniske tilretteleggere for møteplasser der ideer og kunnskap er fellesnevneren. Målet vårt er å legge tilrette for flere tankevekkere og interessante koblinger. Noen av møteplassene arrangerer vi selv. Som Stormkast, konferansen om morgendagens industrielle muligheter. Eller Substans - den ettertenksomme møteplassen om teknologi, landbruksteknologi-samlingen Beit. Og innovasjonsmønstringen NuWave.I tillegg påtar vi oss ansvar for andres arrangement.

Å lage gode video-opptak kan mangedoble verdien av den kunnskapen som formidles fra scenen. Vi jobber kollaborativt. Vi tror på gode partnerskapsmodeller. Derfor jobber vi sammen med flinke underleverandører. Vi prøver å skape sponsormodeller og partnerskap som skaper vinn-vinn. Målet vårt er å skape nettverk. Få koblet sammen ulike fagmiljøer. Løfte blikket. Gjøre verden litt mer interessant.
