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.

1. Short description RoboConnect is developing an independent, AI-supported platform that helps industrial companies turn tacit and fragmented process knowledge into a clear, decision-relevant automation case — before supplier dialogue begins. 2. The problem Many industrial companies know they need to automate, but struggle to define what should be automated, what is causing the problem and whether the process is ready for investment. The people closest to production often understand the process well, but this knowledge may be spread across operators, engineers and management, poorly documented or mixed with assumptions and missing data. The customer may therefore approach the market with an unclear problem description and incomplete information. System integrators then have to reconstruct the customer’s process understanding and collect missing data before a meaningful solution dialogue can begin. This creates uncertainty, longer clarification phases, weak or difficult-to-compare proposals and projects that stall early. The core problem is not a lack of technology or suppliers. It is that the knowledge needed to make a good early automation decision is often tacit, fragmented and difficult to transfer. 3. The solution RoboConnect starts by understanding the customer’s process, challenges and actual needs. The RoboConnect AI Advisor conducts a guided professional conversation that helps the company describe how production works today, what it wants to improve, which constraints matter and what information is still missing. The AI Advisor brings together information from different parts of the organisation, separates facts from assumptions and uncertainty, identifies knowledge gaps and risks, and turns unclear issues into practical next actions. The result is a shared and structured automation basis that can be developed into a supplier-ready project brief. Relevant projects can then be connected with suitable system integrators, technology suppliers and R&D environments. This gives the customer greater decision confidence and solution providers a better starting point. RoboConnect is not building a generic chatbot. The platform combines a domain-specific workflow, structured project data and knowledge from industrial cases, expert interviews and feedback from customers and automation partners. Over time, this strengthens clarification, project maturation and matching. The first focused area is welding automation and high-mix, low-volume manufacturing. The longer-term ambition is to expand across other automation categories and build a Nordic platform for early-stage automation clarification and matching. 4. Business model and commercial opportunity RoboConnect creates value on both sides of the market. Industrial companies receive a clearer and safer starting point, while automation partners gain access to better-qualified customer opportunities. The current model is based mainly on supplier-side revenue through fees for qualified matches and successful projects. Future revenue streams may include paid AI-assisted readiness reports, supplier subscriptions, premium access and category-specific products. The model is now being validated through pilots and early customer projects. Norway is the validation market, with Sweden as the first intended scale-up market. 5. Why I started RoboConnect The motivation came from repeated conversations with industrial companies, automation experts and system integrators. I saw that many projects became uncertain long before technology was selected. Companies needed a more independent and structured way to understand their own situation before entering a supplier-led process. With a background in research, data analysis and complex problem structuring, combined with further training in programming, databases and AI, I founded RoboConnect to bridge the gap between industrial process knowledge and automation delivery.
