The Hub

The Hub is the go-to platform for hiring among startups in The Nordics. We have built a two-sided marketplace, where startups can post their open positions and handle their incoming applications, and talent can apply for said jobs. We currently serve four Nordic countries: Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway, and hope to expand further in the future 🗺. Since we started we have built a value-adding service and successfully: - Distributed more than 2 million applications - Had over 7.000 startups register a profile on the platform - Connected more than 300.000 candidates with jobs in the Nordic startup scene Our mission is to help startups grow faster to reach their full potential, and help talent find their next dream job. Our ambition is to create a complete startup recruitment marketplace, offering the best service available. Empowered by a deep desire to create new and better ways for people to find meaningful work, we invite you to join our journey to become the World’s best startup recruitment marketplace 🚀. Besides a great product, our people are a big part of what makes The Hub succesfull! We all feel motivated to do great things, and work with a high drive to bring additional value to our startups and talent users. The Hub family is a small international team based at the beautiful Matrikel1 in the centre of Copenhagen. While our HQ is in Denmark, all team communication is in English, so no Danish is required to join us. Outside working together, we enjoy monthly dinners, board game nights, and other fun activities. We have the freedom to work remotely, but also enjoy seeing each other as often as possible. Besides amazing colleagues another great plus in coming to the office is that lunch and coffee are second-to-none 😋 The Hub was initially started in 2015 by Danske Bank Growth with the help of Rainmaking Innovation to create valuable and impactful services for the rapidly growing Nordic startup ecosystem, focusing on tailored recruitment and fundraising services. In December 2022 Mesh Community took over operations of The Hub. Mesh Community is a leading Nordic provider of co-working spaces, innovation hubs, and startup accelerators. We are excited to have joined forces and are confident this will open up new doors of opportunity for our startup community.

LifeBonder

Why We are going against the narrative to battle loneliness and the negative impact of social media because we want to design a platform to increase the quality of life! The insatiable business-centric model of current social media growth engines is solely designed around consumerism and addiction keeping people on screens and facilitating (new) social connections by staying online and isolated. At LifeBonder we want to take the lead with a human-centric social media platform designed with a purpose - to increase people’s quality of life by meeting new connections in-person. Therefore, encouraging physical activity, preventing isolation and thereby increasing mental health. We aim to design a safe platform to connect with like-minded people. We encourage people to go out and enjoy shared experiences off-platform by suggesting activities in the local area that they're both into. Additionally, we prioritize user needs by positioning them at the core and forefront of our business and placing the advertiser where they should be - at the periphery! Purpose To combat loneliness by improving the quality of life through local activities connecting people with shared interests. Lifebonder NextGen mobile app empowers lonely, depressed and isolated individuals to ignite their social life by facilitating real life off-platform friendships locally. Our privacy-safe AI enables authentic, modest and anonymous profile matching, with trusted pre-verified users, who share common interests to ensure our users have a safe space for expressing themselves. Vision To improve the quality of life. Our vision is to build a safe and kind social network to make authentic social bonds in real life that makes people less lonely and drives them off their couches for socializing, improving their mental wellbeing through authentic life experiences. Mission We are the game-changers, innovators and disruptors - because it's time for transformation! At LifeBonder, we're on a mission to end loneliness and break social media addiction, fake personas, cyber-bullying, cancel culture by providing a Mesaverse that lives up to the promise of what social media can be: A safe place to facilitate human connections rather than replace them. We want to fill a growing need for direct socializing outside social media - connecting people in friendships that are human, profound, and meaningful. Providing people with local options (local businesses) to encourage physical activity and supporting businesses around them. LifeBonder makes it easy for people to connect in a deeper reality through shared spaces, values, and goals because our vision is to build social bonds in real life. Culture Lifebonder has a purpose-driven culture where we consciously and intentionally follow our company’s mission as a team. We are motivated as a team to achieve our impact goals regarding decreasing loneliness and isolation and encouraging in-person meet-ups and physical activity, especially among young people.

And feel a sense of belonging. What Lifebonder is standing against - ISOLATION & CANCEL CULTURE.

Kive

Kive is a creative technology start-up that applies breakthroughs in machine learning to empower a new wave of creators. Creatives spend countless hours on manually organizing their creative references, assets and files. There is no good way to keep all your inspiration, ideas and assets in one place, access it quickly, find what you need when you need it and to collaborate with your team. Kive's smart asset library makes working with creative assets seamless and joyful, freeing creatives from administrative work and empowering them and their teams to spend more time on creativity. By uploading their files to Kive, creators can find the assets they're looking for in no time, share ideas and get instant feedback on their work. The company was founded in Stockholm in 2018 by film director Olof Lindh. As a creator, Olof experienced first-hand the detrimental effects adminstrative and manual work can have on creative processes, and set out to fix this by coding the first version of Kive himself. Kive is today a team of passionate individuals poised to solve this problem for the rest of the creative communities.

Signalforge

Signalforge is an AI-powered intelligence platform designed to map, track, and interpret the Nordic and European technology landscape. By converting fragmented market data into structured signals and emerging patterns, Signalforge helps investors, operators, founders, and analysts understand what is happening before it becomes consensus. The Nordic tech ecosystem generates thousands of signals daily. Most are noise. Some matter. Traditional approaches fail at scale. Press releases arrive too late. Databases lack context. News sites optimize for engagement, not insight. Signalforge exists to solve a specific problem: surface what matters before it becomes consensus. We do this through systematic data aggregation, pattern recognition, and machine-generated insight extraction. No editorial bias. No funding announcement republishing. No vanity metrics.

Gosta Labs

Healthcare is under unprecedented pressure. Patient numbers are rising, workforces are shrinking, and clinical complexity is exploding. Yet clinicians still spend up to half their workday on administrative tasks, navigating fragmented systems and unstructured clinical data while making fast, high-stakes decisions. Gosta is building the AI operating system for healthcare. We turn fragmented clinical data, documentation, and care workflows into structured, actionable support — so healthcare providers can reduce administrative burden, improve coordination across care teams, and make more informed decisions. Our medical-grade platform automates clinical note generation in real time, structures patient data according to institutional standards, and links care decisions to evidence-based guidelines. Real-world results show clinicians completing follow-up documentation in a median of under two minutes, freeing meaningful time for direct patient care. Built in Finland on secure, ISO 27001–certified infrastructure and developed under IEC 62304 for medical software, Gosta is already trusted by leading healthcare providers across Europe — from large private providers and public wellbeing services to specialist centers in fields like oncology. Gosta Labs was founded in 2023 by Lauri Sippola and Henri Viertolahti, the team behind Kaiku Health (acquired by Elekta in 2020). Backed by Voima Ventures, COR Group, Reaktor and others, we're on a mission to give care teams back their time, headspace, and confidence — so every patient encounter can be safer, more personal, and less burdened by administration.

This initiative reflects our belief that everyone, no matter their circumstances, should have the opportunity to live an active and fulfilling life.
