AsoY is an impact-driven Health-Tech StartUp. Our product is a neuro-intelligent app that builds and strengthens mental health and personal leadership. We challenge a large-scale problem, which is stress that costs somewhere between 10-20 billion kr a year in Denmark alone – not to mention the severe personal costs. When it comes to stress, A FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM IS that it doesn’t follow reason. You cannot rationally decide to get rid of stress, because it messes with your brain by blocking important cognitive functions. SO: to BREAK OUT of stress, you need to BREAK THROUGH these cognitive barriers. AsoY does that with a radically different solution that literally “BLOWS THE MIND”, as it automatically breaks through cognitive barriers. It does that by using an unusually effective and effectful element, which is visual art that operates on the stress’ terms: behind the cognitive system. You don’t have to know ANYTHING about art to feel the effect, because when you look at works of art YOU LIKE, cutting-edge research shows that it immediately lowers cortisol and inflammation levels in your blood, while serotonin and oxytocin boost your energy and calm down your nervous system. Moreover, AsoY is based on founder’s 10 years experience practising as a professional coach & stress coach and her ph.d. on how art automatically affects the brain (from mirror neurons, the limbic system, memory, concentration and focus to the nervous and hormonal system). That combination of theory and practise forms the basis of the app’s 5 simple steps that guide the user with clear instructions and questions to an ultra-personal experience leading to insights which encourage action towards beneficial change, immediate effect and long-term impact. SO, WHEN IT COMES TO BREAKING THE CODE TO MENTAL HEALTH, there is rational evidence for strategically using an irrational element, which most people would consider works of art to be. AsoY invites it’s users to choose a work of art that speaks to them and guides them through a step-by-step process in which they realise that it also speaks about them. They discover that the piece they have chosen mirrors important sides of themselves. The process facilitates direct access to the CORE of the users' personal resources, which they can use in their current situation to address the challenges they face here and now. AsoY EMPOWERS USERS with a daily tool to build long-term personal leadership, reduce stress naturally, break out of it automatically and avoid falling into relapse. We’ve tested the method with a. 1000 people and 90% say that it changes their mental state from unease and overwhelm to peace of mind, mental clarity and the energy to help them focus, prioritise and make decisions about what’s best for them, what makes sense and what makes a noticeable difference in their lives. We are close to our users and witness how they interact with the app, because we use it as tool in workshops and 1:1 coaching sessions. We know it works. Now it’s time to scale it up and let app stand alone. BUT, in order to sell it B2C in its own right and to the B2B clients we already have as well as to the B2G clients, we have in the pipeline, we need to upgrade the simple but fully functional MVP to a full-blown commercial product. THAT' WHY WE ARE LOOKING FOR INVESTORS AND 1-2 TECH CO-FOUNDERS in UX and code, who are: - passionate about the fast-growing market for health tech, digital health, mental health and arts & health, which Google has just launched a large platform to support - attracted to the idea of getting ownership in an impact-driven health tech startup and lifting a proof-of-concept MVP to a commercial product that can reduce stress naturally and automatically and build and track mental health over time. Anonymously, of course. We can get there for a. 70.000 € Get in touch if you are curious to be part of the journey: info@artspeaksofyou.com

Aeris is a Copenhagen based bottled cocktail brand, handcrafted to the highest of standards. The concept is simple: everybody should be able to enjoy a high quality, perfectly balanced cocktail, regardless of their skillset or financial status. More often than not, a really well balanced cocktail, made with high quality ingredients, is only really accessible in high end restaurants, hotels and bars. For those with the financial means to enjoy cocktails in these places, Aeris cocktails is simply a really nice supplement when one wants to have an equally good tasting drink at home (the importance of this rose during the pandemic and lockdown). For those with less deep pockets, Aeris is simply put some bottled luxury for a decent price. Our recipes are an echo from Barcelona where our founders started their journey, and every cocktail is handcrafted and bottled to the highest of standards. The essence of Aeris is all about wanting to step out of the box, do something that feels fresh and exciting, a new concept embracing that amazing Copenhagen vibe. Our brand oozes of luxury, and yet, is very affordable, for anybody who wants some atmosphere at any place, at any time. Sustainability and quality is key for us and so we have a zero plastic policy and refill options to ensure our bottles get reused. The founders are currently trying to find the time to keep up with the growth and demand, and are in need of a cool team of people to help in the journey of taking Aeris out into the rest of the world.

NAUST Robotics upgrades agriculture with autonomous drones. The main problem we are solving is bird damage on farms, which can easily be 50-70% if the land is close to the water. As current bird scaring techniques are ineffective in the long run, farmers are exposed to damage, losing over 50.000 EUR per 100 Ha (wheat fields). We solve this with an autonomous drone flying over the fields, equipped with speakers. Emitting special sounds that birds recognize as danger, we will push them out of the crops, back to natural areas where they can feed without conflict. A landing platform laying on the field will recharge and shelter the drone, allowing the whole system to operate autonomously. Furthermore, the user will be able to check the real time status and modify the settings from our mobile app! Additionally, in the future we aim to equip special cameras on the bottom of the drone to collect high quality periodical images for crop monitoring practices. This will lead to save time and resources for the farmer, such as tons of chemical pesticides thrown to the field without knowledge. Our vision is to implement affordable autonomous drone solution to automate simple tasks and save time for society.
