The main piece of equipment in the gym is the barbell. It is as simple in its form as it is timeless in its design. But when it comes to using the proper safety equipment that comes with the barbell, that’s when the flaws become visible. Today’s methods of securing weight plates to a barbell is done by using collars or clips, which often lead to a poor user experience, and they are often hard to put on and pull off, can easily break or slip during lifts, they are often hard to find and even disappears. The Olympic barbell has remained virtually the same for the last 93 years, and despite today’s standards, improvements can be made. In a seemingly ever-growing market, people’s expectations of safety, design, quality, and user-friendliness in products are on the rise. Gungnir of Norway is a Norwegian startup company that designs and manufactures high-quality gym equipment. The company’s first product is the Allrounder, a standard Olympic barbell with built-in collars for securing weight plates. The built-in collar system or “SlideLock” makes the lifting experience safer, faster, easier, and more reliable than the standard safety equipment in use today. Also, the SlideLock system can be applied to several other bar types like compact group training bars or loadable dumbbells. This solution has shown enormous potential in the fitness market, which we intend to continue to take advantage of. The SlideLock is the first of many solutions that we seek to create within the fitness equipment industry. We started as a company in 2018 in Oslo, Norway, with an idea for a better solution to a problem well known to many who use weightlifting equipment regularly. Gungnir’s vision is to become the new standard solution for securing weight plates worldwide. A game-changing solution to a century old problem.

Nexus Connect is developing a platform for companies to controll their shareholders and rasiekapital in the same solution. We help manage ownership and raise money without spreadsheets, paper and scattered tools. What sets it apart is one registry-grade source of truth: the shareholder register, cap table, general meetings, share issues and investor portal are built on the same data, so what a company does in Nexus is also what it is legally required to record. Every company is required to keep a shareholder register, to hold general meetings with proper notice, voting and minutes, to report its shareholders to the Tax Administration every year, and to document every share issue and transfer. For most small and growing companies this work is spread across spreadsheets, email threads, PDFs and accountants, and it gets harder with every new investor, convertible loan or funding round. Mistakes are easy to make and costly to fix: a wrong share number, a missing transfer or a badly documented meeting can hold up a funding round, a sale or an audit. Investors face the same problem from the other side, with no single place to see what they own and what is happening in the companies they have invested in. The problem grows as more investors invest directly in startups and small companies, and every company that raises money from many small investors multiplies the paperwork. Nexus gives the company one place where ownership lives. The digital shareholder register tracks each share by its number, as the law requires, not just by count, and keeps the history of former shareholders. On top of that sit a full cap table (share classes, options, splits, dividends), convertible loans and SLIP/SAFE agreements that can be converted into shares inside the platform, and general meetings and board meetings with notices, digital voting and minutes. For capital raises, Nexus supports share issues and investor campaigns with the investor-protection steps the EU crowdfunding rules require, such as the knowledge test, the key investment information sheet and a reflection period. Investors get their own portal, where they see their holdings, sign documents and vote.

CVBooster is a CV and resume builder made in Helsinki. It solves a specific problem: most people send the same generic CV to every job posting, and applicant tracking systems filter it out before a human ever reads it. The free tier is manual. You fill in your own details, pick one of the ATS-friendly templates and download the result, with no AI involved. The Pro tier ($16.99 per month or $99 per year) adds AI tailoring: you paste a job posting and CVBooster rewrites your summary and bullet points to match it, flags the keywords you are missing and keeps the layout clean so applicant tracking systems can parse it. CVBooster works in English, German, Finnish, French, Spanish and Portuguese. It ships 1,600+ role-specific resume examples and writing guides, a job feed, and an iOS app (App Store id6804955613). It is built and run by Mustafa Tarabya under DT Nova Tmi in Helsinki, founded in 2025.

FitArenaa is a B2B fitness technology startup helping gyms reduce member churn through data-driven and inclusive engagement. Gyms struggle with high churn and limited insight into how members actually engage with their facilities. Most existing systems focus on access and billing, leaving gyms blind to early disengagement — especially for members with different needs, such as neurodiverse individuals. FitArenaa enables gyms to understand member behavior, identify churn risk early, and support more inclusive fitness experiences without adding operational complexity. By focusing on retention rather than acquisition, we help gyms grow sustainably while making fitness more accessible to everyone.

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.
