Devai helps software teams turn AI coding tools into real engineering results. Most companies are experimenting with AI, but adoption often stalls: leaders push top-down initiatives, teams use inconsistent tools and prompts, code quality varies, and developers lose time debugging weak AI output. The result is lots of activity, but little measurable productivity gain. We solve this by working directly with development teams inside their real codebases and workflows. We help with selectin the right tools (for example Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot), help refining team-level ways of working, and coach developers on best agentic coding practices. Instead of generic training, we deliver practical, hands-on training that immediately applies to day-to-day engineering work. Why this matters: AI changes fast, and most teams need partner-level guidance to adopt it safely and effectively. Devai closes that gap and helps engineering organizations ship faster with better consistency, quality, and confidence.

Treesy ApS er en dansk climate tech-startup, der gør det nemt, billigt og gennemskueligt for privatpersoner og virksomheder at tage konkret klimahandling gennem træplantning i Tanzania. Mange mennesker og virksomheder ønsker at gøre noget for klimaet, men oplever i dag, at løsningerne er uoverskuelige, dyre, abstrakte eller svære at stole på. Samtidig vokser både klima- og biodiversitetskrisen, og behovet for skalerbare, troværdige og handlingsorienterede løsninger er større end nogensinde. Treesy er skabt for at fjerne barriererne for klimahandling. Vi tilbyder en enkel abonnementsbaseret model, hvor kunder planter træer som en konkret måde at reducere og balancere deres klimaaftryk. Vores tilgang er baseret på konservative beregninger, radikal transparens og lokal forankring. Alle træer plantes i samarbejde med lokale partnere i Tanzania og bliver: • individuelt geo-tagget • monitoreret mindst fire gange årligt • passet og genplantet i op til tre år efter plantning Vi planter et diversificeret mix af træer med fokus på både klima, biodiversitet og lokal økonomi. Det betyder, at vores indsats ikke kun handler om CO₂, men også om at styrke økosystemer, skabe lokal indkomst og opbygge mere robuste lokalsamfund gennem agroforestry og frugttræer. Treesy adskiller sig ved at kombinere: • lav pris pr. træ • høj grad af transparens • direkte lokal tilstedeværelse • individuel geo-tagging af træer • en bevidst fravalg af dyre certificeringssystemer til fordel for direkte dokumentation Vores ambition er at gøre klimahandling tilgængelig for alle — og samtidig sikre, at indsatsen skaber reel, målbar og langsigtet impact. Treesy er stiftet af iværksættere med mange års erfaring fra udviklingsarbejde i Afrika og et stærkt lokalt netværk. Vi tror på, at ægte forandring skabes, når klima, biodiversitet og social udvikling tænkes sammen i én samlet løsning. Vores mission er enkel: At gøre det så nemt og gennemskueligt som muligt at give mere tilbage til planeten, end man tager.

Zerify is developing SafeCall to help individuals and businesses solve the global problem of phone fraud and lack of digital trust with verified calls using BankID. The problem is that phone scams deceive thousands of people every year, causing a breakdown in trust where people no longer know if the person calling is genuine. With the rise of AI, this has become even harder, as technology enables realistic voice clones that can mimic a parent, a boss, or remove language barriers for scammers. "No verification = no trust," meaning people are afraid to share sensitive information over the phone. We are building technology to make digital trust possible. Our solution is SafeCall, an app where you call with a verified identity by using BankID to authenticate the call. For businesses, we offer SafeCall Business, allowing companies to verify their calls so customers feel safe to answer, thereby strengthening the trust between company and customer. We are "Swishifying" (swedish app Swish) telephony to make verified communication the new normal, where unverified calls are ignored just like we avoid clicking on unknown links today. Our vision is to make the digital world safe, credible, and human. The motivation comes from a desire to protect people and companies against fraud, AI manipulation, and false information. We believe that IT should not be complicated; it should be easy to use correctly. By creating solutions like SafeCall, we aim to be a driving force towards a safer digital Europe where trust is a given, not a risk.

Silicon Valhalla is a Nordic tech intelligence hub that maps startups, founders, investors, and market signals across the Nordic region, with a particular emphasis on AI, SaaS, and frontier innovation. It exists to make the “Silicon Valhalla” ecosystem - Nordic tech’s answer to Silicon Valley - more visible, navigable, and investable for founders, operators, and capital. The platform combines a curated startup directory, an events calendar, and ecosystem insights into a single, neutral entry point for Nordic tech. Startups and scaleups get structured profiles highlighting what they do, where they are based, which sector they play in, and how to reach them, while investors and partners can quickly scan emerging companies across AI, climate, fintech, deep tech, and more. A continuously updated view of companies and activity aims to surface momentum early, so users can spot new categories, breakout teams, and upcoming fundraising stories before they hit the mainstream. Silicon Valhalla is designed to be independent and ecosystem-first rather than a job board or paywalled database. The service is currently free to use, making discovery accessible while opening the door for future premium offerings such as featured profiles, highlighted events, and deeper signal products for investors and corporates. In short, Silicon Valhalla is building the default map and narrative for Nordic tech: a living overview of the startups, talent, and ideas turning the region into one of the most dynamic innovation hubs in Europe.

Our mission is to make commerce and its suppliers more efficient and data-driven.

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.

Treder solves both problems. It’s a curated marketplace where homeowners can browse verified freelancer profiles, read reviews, and hire with confidence. Every freelancer undergoes manual verification, including ID checks, ensuring safety and reliability. Treder makes it simple, safe, and cost-effective to get the help you need - exactly when you need it.
