Ibex is building the future of mental fitness. We're developing a research-informed platform that combines psychology, behavioural science and physiological data to help people proactively strengthen their mental wellbeing through personalised, actionable guidance.
 We believe taking care of our minds deserves the same evolution that taking care of our bodies has already undergone. Today, if you want to improve your physical health, you have access to coaches, training plans, wearables and decades of research translated into practical tools that help you build strength, resilience and long-term wellbeing. Mental health, despite being just as fundamental to how we live, work and thrive, is still largely approached reactively. Clinical care is essential, but for most people there is little support between treating illness and generic wellbeing content.
 We see an opportunity to help change that.
 Advances in wearable technology, behavioural science and AI are making it possible to personalise mental health support in ways that simply weren't practical a few years ago. Technology has become remarkably good at measuring us. Wearables can tell us how we slept, how we recovered and how our bodies responded to stress - but measurements alone rarely lead to better mental health.
 Most people already know that sleep, movement, relationships, recovery and stress all matter. The challenge isn't awareness, it's understanding how these factors interact for each individual and turning that understanding into sustainable action.
 Our ambition is to build a system that turns research and personal data into practical, personalised guidance. Rather than giving everyone the same meditation, journal prompt or breathing exercise, we're building an experience that learns about the individual over time and helps people understand what supports their mental wellbeing, then guides them towards small, meaningful actions that strengthen it over time. Just as no good coach would give every athlete the same training plan, we don't believe everyone should receive the same advice.
 The long-term vision is to make taking care of your mind as practical, personalised and accessible as taking care of your body.
 I founded Ibex after spending years working with people, leadership and organisational development and repeatedly seeing the same pattern: people often recognised the signals only once they had become difficult to ignore. 

At the same time, I saw incredible research, talented clinicians and coaches, and rapidly advancing technology, but very little that brought these worlds together in a practical way for everyday life.
 That question; what if we approached mental fitness more like physical fitness? - became the starting point for Ibex.
 Since then, we've developed an early prototype, completed our first pilot, and are continuing to learn where the product creates value, where it needs to improve, and what we need to build next. We're still early in the journey, but we believe mental fitness deserves the same evolution that physical fitness has already undergone, and we're excited to help shape what comes next.
 If you believe the future of mental health is proactive, personalised and built around helping people thrive, not just treating illness - we'd love to connect.

Free To Use is a royalty-free music platform that gives content creators high-quality background music for free, without the copyright risks that come with most "free" music online. The problem: every creator who publishes video or audio needs music, but the safe options are a mess. Most "free" libraries simply host tracks uploaded by producers who keep the rights, so a song can be pulled later or hit with a copyright claim that demonetizes or blocks the creator's video. Licensing terms are buried in legalese and often restricted by platform or region. And a growing share of libraries are filling up with AI-generated music that can't be properly copyrighted or protected. The result: creators waste time, lose ad revenue to false claims, and never quite know if the music in their video is safe. Our solution: Free To Use owns every track in its catalogue outright. Artists transfer the exclusive rights to us, so the music stays free forever, the terms stay stable, and we can resolve false copyright claims directly on a creator's behalf. Every track is made by a real human artist, never AI, and reviewed and curated by hand for consistent quality. Creators browse by mood and genre, download unlimited tracks with no sign-up, and publish safely across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitch and podcasts. Why we built it: we are a team of content creators who felt this pain ourselves. Free use comes with a simple attribution; we fund the platform through affordable Personal and Commercial subscriptions plus single-track Pro and Broadcast licences, which keeps the core library free for everyone. Founded in 2016 and based in Denmark, Free To Use is building the music layer for the creator economy: music creators can actually trust.

Minimapper is a Finnish proptech startup building an AI-powered tool for making real estate photos understandable. Our product helps property portals, brokerages, and landlords to make listings easier to understand by showing exactly where each photo was taken within the property. Minimapper adds a small floor plan minimap with a viewing marker to listing photos, giving property seekers a clear spatial understanding of the spaces from the very beginning. Even though floor plans and photos are two of the most important assets in real estate marketing, today, this crucial connection is often missing from property listings. Interior photos can look attractive, but users often struggle to understand how the rooms connect, where a photo was taken, and how the property actually feels as a layout. According to a user survey by leading Finnish property portal Etuovi.com, 80 % struggle with spacial understanding without Minimapper, and two-thirds want to see Minimapper in listings, as it helps 87 % to understand the spaces easier. Minimapper is available in all HOAS properties in the Helsinki region, where they manage over 10 000 apartments. In 2025 alone, Minimapper helped over 650,000 students to find their next home more easily. We are now developing Minimapper into an automated AI API that can process property listings at scale. The goal is to enable major real estate portals and listing platforms to automatically add minimaps to property photos whenever a floor plan is available. We are looking for a backend-focused full-stack developer to help build the backend systems, cloud infrastructure and integrations around our AI pipeline. Experience with APIs, scalable backend architecture, Google Cloud, Dart & Flutter, visual AI, image processing or real estate technology is especially relevant. This opportunity is best suited for someone who is motivated by startup ownership and long-term upside. Initially, the compensation is expected to be primarily option-based, with the aim of building a well-funded, scalable company together. Minimapper is at an exciting stage: the core AI product exists, market discussions are active, and the path is clearing toward scalable portal integrations. We are eager to talk to you and find out what we could achieve together.

1. The Elevator Pitch GEIST is developing next-generation sailing apparel for recreational and lifestyle sailors who want protection and freedom on the water—without the bulk, stiffness, or elitist aesthetics of traditional sailing gear. By combining high-performance materials, real-world testing, and community-driven design, GEIST delivers technical sailing wear that enhances the experience instead of getting in the way. 2. The What: What are you solving? Sailing apparel today is largely designed for professional racers or extreme offshore conditions—resulting in garments that are heavy, rigid, over-engineered, and visually disconnected from how most people actually sail. This creates a gap for: - Recreational sailors - Lifestyle / adventure sailors - Coastal and day sailors who want reliable protection from wind, spray, and weather, but also comfort, mobility, and a modern aesthetic they enjoy wearing. As a result, many sailors compromise—either wearing gear that limits movement and comfort, or using outdoor apparel not built for marine conditions. This problem affects a broad and growing segment of sailors globally, especially as sailing increasingly overlaps with outdoor lifestyle, travel, and community-driven experiences. 3. How GEIST is solving it GEIST designs sailing apparel from the experience outward. We start by deeply understanding how our users move, layer, vent heat, and interact with their gear during real sailing scenarios—not idealized ones. From there, we: - Develop function-led designs focused on mobility, breathability, and smart protection - Use premium 3-layer performance fabrics and components chosen for durability, comfort, and sustainability - Prototype early and test continuously with sailors in real conditions - Co-create features, fit, and details with our community rather than designing in isolation Our first products—a sailing jacket and trousers—are built to be worn actively on the water and comfortably before and after, bridging performance and lifestyle without compromise. 4. Why GEIST exists GEIST started from lived frustration. As a sailor and outdoor enthusiast, I repeatedly experienced how traditional sailing gear interrupted the very thing it was supposed to support—the feeling of being present, capable, and free on the water. Gear was either too stiff, too bulky, too aggressive, or simply not designed for how most people sail today. I realized this wasn’t a niche problem—it was systemic. And it wasn’t being solved because the industry hadn’t truly shifted its perspective. GEIST exists to reimagine sailing apparel from the standpoint of experience, movement, and modern sailing culture. It’s about stripping away unnecessary complexity and designing gear that supports focus, confidence, and enjoyment—so when the wind hits, the world narrows, and the gear disappears.
