1: Short description (the pitch) Yuta AI is developing a platform to help DevOps teams to solve toolchain complexity, remove mundane tasks, work efficiently with the conversational and generative power of AI. 2: The What: What are you solving + more in depth details Several studies show that an average DevOps team spends 20% of the time in unproductive tasks (searching for information, mundane or repetitive tasks, troubleshooting human errors etc). The plethora of automation tools used to solve some of these problems, has introduced a side effect of toolchain complexity. A typical DevOps engineers works with 5 to 6 tools, languages & frameworks. This increases the barrier to entry, creates silos and a steep learning curve. 3. The How: Describe how your startup is solving this DevOps engineers can work productively and efficiently using Yuta's AI enabled DevOps platform. Using Yuta AI, engineers can easily retrieve information from knowledge systems within the company. Using conversational AI, several typical DevOps workflows can be triggered, removing the need to manually perform operational tasks. 4: The Why: What motivated you to get started As a DevOps professional over the last 8 years, I have toiled hard with many DevOps tools. While the tools have improved the productivity of DevOps engineers, the complexity keeps increasing with the addition of every new tool, workflows spanning across multiple process & tools & methods decrease the stability, and make DevOps a silo function in the organisation. With the power of conversation & generative AI, DevOps workflows can be simplified, lowering the barrier to entry, and empowering the engineers to focus on high value tasks.

New drugs for treating diseases of Down syndrome. More than 1% of the global GDP is spent on nursing demented people, and the number requiring nursing will triple within 2050. The disease is progressive, leading to death. There is no current cure available, only symptomatic treatments. Individuals born with Down syndrome have a more than 10x risk of developing dementia as well as a host of other diseases including diabetes. Our drug target, DYRK1A is an enzyme found on chromosome 21, and is considered a key factor determining developmental and medical challenges faced by individuals with Down. The enzyme interacts with multiple biological mechanisms involved in Alzheimer’s and autoimmune diseases. Advanced drug designUsing advanced drug design technologies, we have designed a potent DYRK1A inhibitor drug, PST-900. A use and substance of matter patent have been applied for. The company is currently working on chemical Lead Optimisation with 8 full-time medicinal chemists contracted.Financing and milestonesThe Company raised NOK 5 million in 2015 and 8.8 MNOK in 2016/2017, matching non-dilutive research (BIA) and business grants (Innovation Norway). We demonstrated Proof of Principle in a model system for Alzheimer’s disease in 2Q2016. We have also demonstrated that our drug is capable of reversing diabetes in an animal model. Together with clinical and regulatory advisors, we have identified an important unmet need for a drug to treat newly diagnosed diabetes. We will use this indication to quickly progress to market and from there develop analogous drug molecules in Alzheimer’s disease, focused especially in Down syndrome. Funding soughtThe current funding round will raise 15+ MNOK to fund the progression to the final Development Candidate during 2018. Following this, further funding will be sought to perform toxicology/safety and Phase 1 clinical studies.

LifeTools AS develops digital tools for people with complex needs within the fields of communication, cognition, and challenged behavior. We put the user first and develop dynamic systems with high flexibility based on the unique user's needs. The network around the user will have digital tools to observe, build and publish expressions, routines, and activities into our systems, and use this information back into the interaction with the user. This gives a better foundation in communication and helps increase the quality of life for the user. Our philosophy is to use "everyday technology" such as tablets/phones and cloud-based solutions and develop highly intuitive and dynamic tools for the network. Users (people with special and complex needs) therefore do not need to acquire skills or knowledge in order to use our systems. This makes it easier for those who have great cognitive challenges to make use of our technological solutions.

Game-changing technology for structural integrity monitoring. The Ferrx FEMM (Ferrx ElectroMagnetic Method) has been developed and tested for 2 decades, first by SINTEF and since 2005 by Ferrx. The method has provided unique features for the condition monitoring of steel structures. Material deterioration can be directly measured and early warning of risk for fatigue can be established long before any crack is detectable. Furthermore, the same sensors can also measure changes in metal loss, and thus provide for non-intrusive monitoring of internal corrosion and erosion in pipes. During the last years, instrumentation technology has been industrialized and the first commercial systems have been delivered and installed. Different types of instrumentation systems are available both for onshore and offshore/subsea applications. The industrialization, marinization, and production of the instrumentation systems are being done in cooperation with the most specialized suppliers. Ferrx is an independent company located in Trondheim, Norway with the business idea to provide the FEMM technology for different onshore and offshore markets to monitor the actual condition of steel structures and thus prevent loss of assets and pollution of the environment. The FEMM is protected by 2 patents and all rights are vested in Ferrx. The system for riser inspection has been qualified by DNV-GL in accordance with DNV-RP-A203 Technology Qualification.

We care about data. Your data – and your company’s data. We have built a software solution that automatically can identify non-compliant privacy data across multiple different data sources and have built an automated clean-up process. Data & More has spent 5 years and analysed over 2 billion data sets and with feedback from over 100.000 users developed the market's most precise and best engine to identify and clean-up non-compliant privacy data. This helps our customer become compliant and in the case of a data breach quickly find & identify & move and notiffy on personal identifiable data. Our solution will find illegal prvacy data and inform each employee about their relevant non-compliant data in a user-friendly task board. As a final safety measure, the employee approves what can be deleted. The solution will then delete the non-compliant data directly in the data source with having the employee locate the data set. The compliance responsible can always track the level of data compliance and any data compliance challenges in the organization using the built-in analytics and dashboards. Our solution is prepared and ready to find the Privacy data, in your data sources, so you don’t have to think about setup, search criteria, and deletion rules. We will help you get started with a short introductory meeting, where the data sources will be connected. see more on www.dataandmore.com
