Our vision is to democratize elderly care by giving this group ownership over their life experiences and activities. The Biosfär is a welfare innovation relying on mixed digital and physical realities to deliver IMAX-like experiences for elderly with dementia. Our product is both a media installation and a pedagogy, breaking down physical and mental barriers to activate all human senses and experiences. With the help of mixed digital technology, Biosfär allows access to and control over daily activities otherwise unavailable to elderly living in assisted care facilities. After 2+ years of testing and participant observation, we have developed 4 concepts and a platform of workshops that fill human needs and are tailored to elderly with dementia. This includes (1) therapy, (2) lifelong learning, (3) story sharing and (4) festive social gatherings. In this time, we've brought residents to never before seen trips, into boat-building workshops, and down memory lane. This has led to 3 - 5x the amount of participation in daily activities at nursing homes, ventures into uncharted territory and one resident who began to speak after being diagnosed mute.

Valerian Funds' vision is to be the world's preferred source of growth capital for online businesses accessible at the click of a button. Simple, Fast and Non-Dilutive From startup founders to startup founders, we have been there – we know how hard it is to raise capital. Your business needs to tick a particular box with a VC or have a minimum track record for a bank manager. Ultimately, a successful fund raise is less a testament to the quality of your business and more a consequence of being at the right place at the right time – not a very comforting thought. The founding team at Valerian set out to create a product that would eliminate the serendipitous element of fund raising and instead root the investment decision in hard data – eliminating the self-selecting criteria of who you know and instead focusing solely on performance. The team at Valerian brings in a wealth of unique specific expertise that aims to provide you with the best available, most flexible and ultimately cheapest cost of capital available for your growth.

Changing Stories is a charity based in Aarhus, Denmark. Our vision is a world where every kid learns. Today, more kids and youth are in school than ever before. Yet 617 million – 1 in 3 - can’t read or do basic math. The World Bank calls the enormous lack of learning in school systems in low-income countries around the world the global learning crisis. We're on a mission to change that. We do so by working with dedicated local partners in low-income countries around the world that help kids learn through effective learning initiatives. Our geographical focus right now is Nepal, where we are supporting 3 local partners. Our operating costs are covered by a group of private individuals, which means we can send 100% of all other donations directly to the field. We call it the 100%-promise.
