DRYE - New washable glove liner and innovative sweat technology.

We are a rapidly growing startup soon launching our innovative product and are looking for a passionate and dedicated co-founder to join us on the journey. If you have experience in advertising strategies, a burning interest in being part of shaping the future of gloves and skinhealth, and are ready to contribute your expertise and enthusiasm, then you are the one we are looking for! We believe in creating meaningful changes and are seeking a co-founder who shares our vision and is ready to tackle the challenges that come with building and growing a successful company. If you are ready to take on this exciting opportunity, please contact us to discuss further. Problem: Despite billions of people using gloves daily, few have reflected on how hand sweat and materials like rubber can affect their career choices and quality of life. 1. Skin diseases affect almost one-third of the world's population. 2. For over 137 years has moisture accumulation inside gloves been a globally unresolved issue costing the society billions and leading to decreased quality of life and career changes. 3. In the US alone, the willingness to invest in symptom relief for hand eczema amounts to 40 billion dollars. Solution: Unlike products on the market that absorb moisture, our product absorbs and transports away hand sweat to keep hands soft and free from moisture and irritation, no matter how long you wear them. Uniqueness compared to cotton gloves: Cotton gloves cannot transport sweat away, as cotton only acts as an absorbing surface, leading to damp hands. Additionally, cotton gloves are used as disposable items and require 50,000 liters of water to produce one kilogram of cotton. Function and material: The DRYE inner glove is made of an exclusive material combination consisting of 55% Lyocell and 45% Polypropylene. This technology is deliberately designed to minimize irritation while enabling optimal moisture transport, enhancing user comfort and effectiveness. Moisture transport technology: Our advanced technology effectively absorbs moisture from the inside of the glove and transports it to the outside of the fabric. By keeping hands dry, our glove not only improves the user experience but also enhances the quality of life for billions of people suffering from hand-related issues.

Project Iceman

Project Iceman is an ambitious project that sets out to prove that #limitationsareonlyperceptions by setting up the first ever, World Record breaking Ironman distance triathlon in Antarctica, the Iceman. The Iceman is the first in a series of events that will put focus on mental health. The project was officially initiated in June 2018 and is the first step of establishing The Iceman Foundation, an organization that will establish and promote 'Mental Empowerment' for all.  We’re a tightly knitted group of people with a clear philosophy of life: Limitations are only perceptions. This is evident in everything we do and how we work. That means we go with what we find interesting and valuable to our cause. If it’s cool, fun, and worthwhile, we spend time testing and potentially going with it. We believe we can do whatever we set our minds to, which is why we’re always up for trying out an idea - no matter how ‘crazy’ it is.In practice this is carried out in close collaboration with one another. Everyone who wants to contribute are inviter to take part, but we each take responsibility of the things we find most interesting. It’s a wealth of freedom but it also requires courage, discipline, and a positive attitude.We’re a sporty group and like to stay active. Whether you’re into bikini, running, swimming, fitness, football, badminton, squash, paddle tennis, or any other sport, we’re happy to go and have fun with it together. This doesn’t exclude us from having the celebratory beer once in a while when we achieve some of our milestones - even though many think completing an Ironman requires a 100% clean diet and full focus on training (which is not necessarily the case, we eat homemade pizza and watch movies every Sunday everning!). We’re open, free, happy and positive. We encourage creativity and allow ourselves to do what we find most interesting.

B'ZEOS

B’ZEOS develops novel, flexible, and home-compostable films based on seaweed extracts which can replace conventional and bio-based single-use plastic films in food-contact applications. B’ZEOS’ solution will contribute to reduce the use of non- or hardly recyclable plastic materials for single-use food packaging, thus reducing CO2 emissions. We are a team of 8 people with complementary backgrounds. One engineer in environment, two material scientists, one graphic designer, one supply chain analyst, one quality engineer advisor, one PR and marketing advisor and one CFO advisor.   Each of us are concerned by environmental issues and wanted to contribute to make a change.   We have joined this project because we are all fed up with:    - Contamination of world's drinking water with plastic fibres   - Seeing marine animals dying because of our plastic trash   - Increase of plastic packaging around fresh aliments   - Increase in plastic debris along the coast   - Both burning plastic and sending plastic to landfills   - Finding plastic while making with our kids sand castles   - Contamination with the chemicals in plastic. These chemicals are said to cause obesity, on-set puberty, and even cancer.   - Direct contamination of our kids by chewing various objects in plastic.   - Being exposed to plastic every single day and not having the chance to choose an alternative   We, at B’ZEOS and as consumers, believe in a sustainable alternative to current plastic and we have been working on the elaboration of a sustainable alternative without forcing the consumer to change dramatically his habits.
