AnankeLabs

AnankeLabs is developing KAIROS Substrate, a real-time deterministic safety engine, to help organizations operating AI, cybersecurity, and autonomous systems solve structural exposure to novel, zero-day threats with a proactive physics engine that mathematically calculates exact breaking points before execution. We are tackling the fundamental failure of reactive, probabilistic defenses. Today, AI, cybersecurity, and robotics rely on known historical data—like threat signatures or mapped environments—to predict safety. This creates a permanent, widespread synchronization lag across modern infrastructure, leaving systems structurally exposed to novel, zero-day catastrophes and unpredictable "distribution shifts." This problem deeply affects operators across multiple high-stakes domains: AI Safety: Operators rely on post-generation statistical classifiers, forcing them to anticipate every adversarial path. This leaves systems highly exposed between vulnerability discovery and classifier updates. Cybersecurity: Current defenses depend on pattern-matching that requires a known signature. This creates a dangerous reality where defenders are forced to absorb the initial zero-day breach just to extract the signature needed to stop future attacks. Robotics: Systems use neural policies optimized for statistical averages. When encountering novel environments, they lack a physical safety substrate, resulting in hardware executing a "software hallucination at full mechanical torque" and causing kinetic collisions. AnankeLabs is creating an entirely new category of safety by shifting away from guessing if an action is safe based on past data, and moving toward a deterministic engine built on first principles. We built KAIROS Substrate, a real-time safety physics engine that acts as an automatic brake. Instead of relying on pattern-matching, it evaluates actions before execution, instantly detecting and blocking structurally unsound actions across AI, cyber, and robotics by calculating exact mathematical breaking points. Crucially, we made auditability a structural property of the engine itself. Because KAIROS is perfectly deterministic (identical inputs produce identical outputs at ε=10⁻⁶), it automatically generates an immutable, byte-identically replayable trace of every gate decision as a side effect. This eliminates subjective incident reporting and natively satisfies strict regulatory regimes like the EU AI Act, Machinery Regulation 2023/1230, DORA, and NIS2. The spark that fired our mission was the realization that relying on statistics to secure critical infrastructure is a dead-end. Watching security teams permanently synchronize their defenses to yesterday's attack surface highlighted an unacceptable structural flaw in modern technology. We saw the same unacceptable risks in autonomous systems, where a simple distribution shift could cause heavy machinery to hallucinate and collide with its environment. We realized that true safety couldn't be bolted on as an afterthought or solved with better guesswork; it had to be deterministic and mathematical. We set out to build AnankeLabs because organizations deserve a proactive safeguard that prevents failures from unseen threats from the ground up, rather than just mitigating the damage after the fact.

Proteins.1

Proteins.1 is a Finnish biotech startup on a mission to make diseases detectable years before symptoms appear — when treatment is most effective and survival rates are highest. The Problem For diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's, the body releases early warning proteins into the bloodstream long before any clinical symptoms emerge. The problem is that these signals are so faint that today's blood tests simply cannot detect them. By the time a diagnosis is made, the disease has often already progressed to a stage where treatment options are limited and outcomes are far worse. Our Solution We've developed a breakthrough technology called Affinity-Mediated Transport (AMT) — think of it as bringing PCR-like amplification to proteins. Just as PCR revolutionized the detection of genetic material, our platform makes individual disease-signaling proteins visible from a standard blood sample, at sensitivities up to 1,000 times beyond what current gold-standard diagnostics can achieve. The technology originated at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, has been validated through EU breakthrough innovation funding, and is protected by granted patents in both the EU and the US. Where We Are Founded in 2025 and backed by €4.7M in pre-seed funding from Lifeline Ventures and Cloudberry Ventures, we are a team of deep-tech founders, engineers, and scientists based in Espoo, Finland — building the next generation of diagnostic instruments that could fundamentally change how the world detects and treats serious disease.

AuroraDelta

AuroraDelta is a Finland–Bangladesh innovation platform that builds multiple impact‑driven projects under one umbrella – from waste management and circular economy to smart ports, logistics, renewable energy, technology and skills development. Our goal is to connect Finnish expertise and financing with Bangladeshi growth sectors, creating commercially viable solutions that also deliver strong social and environmental impact. At this stage AuroraDelta is a pre‑startup initiative led by a Bangladeshi founder living in Finland, with experience in grassroots entrepreneurship, cross‑border business, and community leadership. We already have a portfolio of 6–7 project concepts, where waste management is only the first pilot, alongside ideas in port development, shipping, textiles, tech, renewable energy and financial inclusion. We are now looking for a mission‑aligned co‑founder who can help shape AuroraDelta into a real company: validating which projects to prioritize, building partnerships in Finland and Bangladesh, and preparing for funding. A strong fit could bring skills in business development, fundraising, impact investing, operations, or sector expertise (waste/circular economy, logistics, ports and shipping, energy, or digital platforms). You should be comfortable working in a very early‑stage, high‑uncertainty environment, co‑creating the vision, and taking ownership of pilots and investor outreach.

UTRY

Imagine a world where the 'Size Chart', a relic of the 20th century, no longer exists. At UTRY, we are building a universal ecosystem for personalized digital fashion. Born at Aalborg University, our mission is to ensure the digital store adapts to the individual’s unique body, rather than forcing people to fit into static categories. We aren't just building a tool for brands; we are building an interactive, personalized experience for every shopper, where getting the perfect fit becomes the new global standard. We are tackling a massive, dual-sided problem. For the consumer, online shopping is a guessing game that leads to frustration and "fit-anxiety." For brands, this uncertainty results in 8,7 billion returned packages every year, where 53% of returns are due to poor fit. This cycle produces 24 million tons of CO2 annually, because costumers has to guess which size fits them. We saw this gap and realized that the industry doesn't need more complex 3D software; it needs a frictionless bridge between the buyer and the product. Our solution is built on smart synergy. Currently, we have launched our Virtual Try-On (VTO), which leverages generative AI to give shoppers a photorealistic view of garments on their own bodies. This provides the immediate visual confidence shoppers crave. Following closely behind is our Size Algorithm, designed to provide technical fit data to ensure the physical fit matches the visual one. By combining these into a single "UTRY ID," we are creating a cross-brand network where a user sets up their profile once and shops at every brand using UTRY with confidence. UTRY started because we did not fit into the standard size chart and had to order several sizes to find the correct size ourselves. As students at Aalborg University, we didn't just want to study the problem; we teamed up with a dedicated full-time crew to solve it. We are doing this because we believe that when you give consumers a personalized, engaging experience, the business value, higher conversions and lower returns, follows naturally. We are here to prove that what is best for the person is also what is best for the planet and the companies.

Velocity Insights

Velocity Insights is building a new class of analytical production systems that generate decision intelligence from a fully traceable evidence base. Most commonly used GenAI approaches generate narratives first and attempt to justify them during the text generation process — often resulting in outputs that are incomplete, difficult to verify, and not fully traceable to underlying evidence. Velocity Insights takes a different approach, structuring the evidence first and deriving every insight from it. This enables organizations to produce analytical outputs that are fully traceable, inspectable, and auditable — transforming how conclusions are validated in high-stakes decision environments. Designed for capital allocation and strategic decision-making, Velocity Insights enables enterprises across finance, life sciences, and technology to generate high-speed decision intelligence without sacrificing traceability or control. By combining data structuring, workflow design, and AI, the system establishes a new standard: analytical outputs that are fully verifiable, transparent, and trusted.

Konvolo

Konvolo (Unisurveys), is an AI-powered platform that helps universities understand why students apply, choose programs, or drop out. Instead of traditional surveys, we use conversational AI to conduct dynamic interviews that adapt to each respondent’s answers. The platform turns qualitative student conversations into structured insights by automatically analyzing, grouping, and summarizing responses at scale. This allows universities to move beyond surface-level metrics and gain a deeper understanding of student motivations, expectations, and decision-making. Konvolo is used to improve student recruitment, program development, and retention by capturing the “why” behind student behavior — in a scalable, data-driven way.

Enclaverse ApS

We are a boutique talent management and influencer marketing agency that specializes in bridging the Influencer type of storytelling with data-driven performance.

Starting with a traditional agency business model, we are moving towards AI first approach BUT maintaining a human in the loop, As we notice the importance of Personal relationships with brands. The "AI-First" Evolution This model aligns with the vision of Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), who have stated their intention to back "AI-first" business models. Following a16z’s thesis that the next era of industry leaders will have AI at their core rather than as an add-on, we are building Enclaverse toward an automated, data-native infrastructure. By treating the creator economy as a technology stack.

Inzure

ABOUT Insurance is one of the biggest recurring household costs - yet the market is built on complexity: dense policies, hard comparisons, and increasingly individualised pricing with little transparency. The result is predictable: people overpay for years, miss critical coverage, or both - and often only find out when it's too late. We're building the consumer layer for private insurance, making it behave like a modern product. Upload your policies and, in under a minute, our AI turns fine print into clear answers: where you're over- or underinsured, where the gaps are, and where you're likely paying too much. We benchmark each policy against an anonymised pool of real policies to recommend better-matched alternatives - shifting knowledge and pricing power back to households. We're early-stage, moving fast, and already proving the need: 50+ customer interviews, 10 households switched, ~28% average savings while improving coverage - plus validation from senior industry professionals, a top-performing insurance salesperson on the team, and initial pre-seed backing from a Bain & Company partner.

Lyfta

Lyfta is building the operating system for strength training. Today, millions of people go to the gym without a clear plan, without tracking properly, and without understanding whether they’re actually progressing. Most tools in the space optimize for engagement, not outcomes. We think that’s the wrong approach. Strength training is one of the highest-leverage activities for long-term health, but only if it’s structured, consistent, and measurable. That’s what we’re building, a system that helps people train with clarity, track real progress, and improve over time. Lyfta is already used by over a million people globally, with strong growth month over month. We’re still early, but the ambition is clear: build the product people rely on to get stronger, not just another app they use occasionally.

Social Mirror

Social Mirror is an interactive smart mirror solution for retail that makes the shopping experience more social, digital, and engaging. Today, many shoppers struggle to make confident purchase decisions alone in the fitting room. They want instant feedback from friends or to share their experience online, but most in-store solutions are static and lack digital features. For retailers, this means missed opportunities to connect with customers, gather insights, and differentiate in a highly competitive market. Social Mirror bridges this gap by connecting offline shopping with online interaction. With the mirror, customers can: Invite friends to join their fitting session live via video. Capture outfit photos and receive them directly by email. Experience interactive features that turn the fitting room into a platform for inspiration, sharing, and social feedback. For retailers, Social Mirror creates a new way to engage customers, enhance satisfaction, and strengthen the connection between brand and shopper.
