1. The Elevator Pitch GEIST is developing next-generation sailing apparel for recreational and lifestyle sailors who want protection and freedom on the water—without the bulk, stiffness, or elitist aesthetics of traditional sailing gear. By combining high-performance materials, real-world testing, and community-driven design, GEIST delivers technical sailing wear that enhances the experience instead of getting in the way. 2. The What: What are you solving? Sailing apparel today is largely designed for professional racers or extreme offshore conditions—resulting in garments that are heavy, rigid, over-engineered, and visually disconnected from how most people actually sail. This creates a gap for: - Recreational sailors - Lifestyle / adventure sailors - Coastal and day sailors who want reliable protection from wind, spray, and weather, but also comfort, mobility, and a modern aesthetic they enjoy wearing. As a result, many sailors compromise—either wearing gear that limits movement and comfort, or using outdoor apparel not built for marine conditions. This problem affects a broad and growing segment of sailors globally, especially as sailing increasingly overlaps with outdoor lifestyle, travel, and community-driven experiences. 3. How GEIST is solving it GEIST designs sailing apparel from the experience outward. We start by deeply understanding how our users move, layer, vent heat, and interact with their gear during real sailing scenarios—not idealized ones. From there, we: - Develop function-led designs focused on mobility, breathability, and smart protection - Use premium 3-layer performance fabrics and components chosen for durability, comfort, and sustainability - Prototype early and test continuously with sailors in real conditions - Co-create features, fit, and details with our community rather than designing in isolation Our first products—a sailing jacket and trousers—are built to be worn actively on the water and comfortably before and after, bridging performance and lifestyle without compromise. 4. Why GEIST exists GEIST started from lived frustration. As a sailor and outdoor enthusiast, I repeatedly experienced how traditional sailing gear interrupted the very thing it was supposed to support—the feeling of being present, capable, and free on the water. Gear was either too stiff, too bulky, too aggressive, or simply not designed for how most people sail today. I realized this wasn’t a niche problem—it was systemic. And it wasn’t being solved because the industry hadn’t truly shifted its perspective. GEIST exists to reimagine sailing apparel from the standpoint of experience, movement, and modern sailing culture. It’s about stripping away unnecessary complexity and designing gear that supports focus, confidence, and enjoyment—so when the wind hits, the world narrows, and the gear disappears.

Disruptive distribution of farm equipment and supplies. Unified commerce; digitized, local, personal. Creates conditions for fair and sustainable farming. Farmers First, a Swedish start-up, decided to solve the problem with the domination from the tractor manufacturers in the value chain for agricultural machines. This domination leads to difficulties for big and small implement manufacturers to reach the farmers. It is also leading to lack of competition and higher than necessary prices for the farmers. “Somebody had to do something about the broken value chain – We decided to be Somebody!” The current value chain is not able to re-invent and solve the problem. A disruptive solution is needed. The Farmers First solution is combining digitalisation of machine sales with online expert help and a local network of workshops. It is including a maintenance solution to extend machine lifetime and improve farmers financials. The platform is creating networking and use integrated marketing methods. It is a Tech-solution in the AgTech area with a platform providing a Marketplace and E-commerce. To create an open and competitive value chain for agricultural machines is important for the climate, securing access to new innovative machines for efficient farming and regenerative methods, and to improve self sufficiency in food production. We are driven by this purpose, are convinced that putting farmers first is the right way to go, and are determined to solve the problem. We are warmly welcomed by manufacturers, retailers and farmers. We have launched, we see sales starting to pick up, and we are now gearing up to be able to grow sales and scale in Europe.

Enabler är ett bolåneinstitut med tillstånd från Finansinspektionen med rötterna från KTH i Stockholm. Vi jobbar för FNs globala om socialt ansvarstagande och finansiellt inkluderande. Vi fokuserar på att hjälpa unga vuxna in på bostadsmarknaden. Enabler har utvecklat ett anpassat framåtblickande kreditregelverk som fokuserar på anställningsbarhet och potential istället för historisk lön (som traditionella banker) och kan därför låna ut lite mer och med lägre egen kontantinsats. Skillnaden blir att en ung vuxen kan köpa en etta i Stockholms innerstad med en lön om 27,500kr/mån och utan krav på kontantinsats till skillnad från en traditionell bank där kravet blir närmare 42,000kr/mån och en egen insats på över 400,000kr vilket nästan ingen ung vuxen har hunnit spara ihop själv. Med 30-års kö på ett förstahandskontrakt och en andrahandshyra på i genomsnitt 17,000kr/mån är vår lösning flera gånger billigare än andra alternativ. Vill du vara med och göra skillnad och kanske själv ta dig in på bostadsmarknaden? Vi väljer noggrant ut en handfull utav landets största change makers som vi ödmjukt och gärna önskar ha med på resan. Om du tror att det kan vara rätt match så hörs vi gärna på ett 30 min möte! 🏠 🏦 🚀
