Jordisk

Jordisk ("Earthly" in Norwegian) is a start-up based in Norway that is developing a unique distribution platform for sustainable packaging to help businesses which need single-use food packaging to become environmentally friendly by embracing products which are recyclable, compostable and/or biodegradable. We are also a part of the accelerator Fauna: https://www.faunaeksperimentet.no/ There is an immediate need to replace traditional single use packaging that is normally based on fossil based plastics with more sustainable alternatives that already exist in the market. Food packaging is becoming a growing global concern, because of the large amount of waste it generates and the chemicals it contains that can be detrimental to our health. In 2014, out of the 258 million tons of municipal solid waste generated in the US, more than 63 percent was of packaging materials (for food and other purposes) and, overall, only 35 percent (89 million tons) was recycled or composted. What happens to the remaining 65 percent? We all know that landfills are frequently used and that a lot of waste is just burned which leaves a huge carbon footprint. The end of life alternative for food packaging can be significantly improved by using alternative eco-friendly materials that already exist and can be implemented in a circular model. The aim of our distribution platform is to be the natural marketplace for sellers of sustainable food packaging where they can showcase their products to potential buyers who need one time packaging. Moreover, ideal sellers would genuinely care about the environment and have a circular model in order to reduce the carbon footprint as much as possible. A typical customer would be a restaurant that offers takeaway. The food packaging industry operates in a very traditional way with one-to-one contracts and is mature enough for a disruption. With our platform, we can be the link and matchmaker between the supplier and customer. Our goal is to raise awareness in the industry and among consumers, so they can know about sustainable food packaging alternatives such as products that are made of bagasse, bamboo, mycelium, leaves, bio-laminat and plant-based plastic such as PLA. The timing is ideal, as we are currently seeing drastic changes in jurisdiction and lawmaking in Europe, single-use plastic cutlery, cotton buds, straws and stirrers will be banned by 2021 and the EU's Green Deal Strategy is to find sustainable alternatives to replace traditional fossil based plastic. We are currently doing market research in Norway in order to source and partner with producers that could be interested in our platform. The feedback we are getting so far are positive, as most new producers would like further traction in order to get much needed market share. We are actively looking for another person with the technical know-how that wants to join the team to develop this platform with us. Even though we live in an era of Instagram and Facebook where spreading awareness in a particular topic is easier than before, environmental pollution is still one of the most concerning issues in today’s world. We, as consumers, are either too busy to care about packaging, or there aren’t many sustainable options to choose from when buying a product. One of the founders, Rezowan, has a background from the travel industry, and has from many of his previous travels seen the growing amount of plastic going astray, both on land and at sea. In many Asian countries, he has seen that there are no good waste solutions that contribute to, for example, plastic being recycled in a circular way. Over the last 2-3 years, new technology has been developed that makes it easier to choose sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives, and the main goal is to promote environmentally friendly alternatives to fossil plastics so that society can become more aware of this.

Arvova

We createTransparent Customer Value Flow for the B2B companies. With Arvova.AI you measure your competitive advantage, and see how customer value turns into cash flow and where the worst bottlenecks for creating and capturing value are. Why are we creating what we are creating? Why? Every business should be able to create lasting, sustainable competitive advantage and value creative business. How? Using intelligent algorithms, the system produces an up-to-date report on the competitive advantage in the market and the levels of utilization of customer potential. What? BI dashboard to create, calculate, communicate and capture your Competitive Advantage and Customer Value. Arvova ja The Pillars4CustomerValue(R) concept was born in February 2019 during an afternoon break at work. The aha moment was preceded by 30 years of work in developing customer value. We felt that Pillars4CustomerValue(R) was just the thing to answer the question of how to make the extremely multidimensional entity of customer value clear to the entire organization. We tested the concept in traditional workshops and it worked. Dozens of professional board members felt that finally they had been given a tool that can help everyone in the business understand value creation. Hundreds of people in different roles found their own role in generating customer value. Hundreds of people realized how their work increases the customer perceived value, the competitive advantage of the company, and the value of the company. Arvova was found the 1st of January 2020. We want to bring the Arvova.AI into the everyday use of these companies.

Sciar Company ltd.

In laboratories, human work and gathering data is frequently done in an old fashioned way. Data is gathered on paper and stored in folders, or in old fashioned and inflexible software databases.

Sciar Company solves this problem with an intuitive and agile software to manage protocols, data and projects, combined with next generation technologies to augment and simplify human work and gather more and better data.

Short term storage on every block of the city, hosted by local businesses Bounce is an app that lets you find a place to leave your bags or luggage when you’re on the go. We launched in 2019 on Product Hunt as #1 product of the day and have been growing 40% monthly since then. We're backed by top tier investors and are a small scrappy team with big plans. Read our story below and get in touch! Inspiration The founders have collectively lived in 15 cities and traveled to 60+ countries. We know how annoying it is to have your things dragging you down. I personally own less than 3 suitcases worth of belongings. Lightbulb Moment A few years ago, I was getting drinks with co-workers after work on a Friday. A friend said he’d join, but had to go all the way out of the way to drop his work bag at home. I thought “what a waste of time, there's got to be a better way.” Problem People spend so much time planning their days (and their lives) around the things that they own. The status quo when you land in a new city is to go straight to the airport just to drop your stuff off, even if it doesn’t make sense otherwise. Solution Tapping into local hotels and shops, we can open up storage space nearly everywhere in a city. Open the Bounce app and find a safe and secure place to leave your things (delivery back to where you’ll be later coming soon!). Key Features: * 24/7 storage locations * Secured and insured * Easy pricing: $6 / day * 24/7 customer support * Get to know your local shops! Vision: This is just the first step in creating what we hope will one day be a paradigm-shift product. Our end goal is for Bounce to be the interface between you and your physical things. Use Bounce to summon your things to you or away from you. We could talk your ear off for hours about what this can be long term.
