Listfully.

Listfully is a platform where you can make lists of anything you'd like to receive as gift, and share them with family and friends. List anything- whether found at a physical location or online. Combine items from large retailers with things found at a small local business or a non-physical gift like an experience or donation.   We hope to help people "give and get better" by increasing consciousness and reducing waste. And also, we think gifts can be a hassle and this just made sense.

Costile

Costile is an AI agent diagnostic proxy for teams building production AI workflows. As companies start using AI agents for support, research, coding, internal operations, and automation, they run into a new kind of infrastructure problem: the agent may technically work, but nobody knows when it is wasting money, looping, retrying badly, using the wrong model, or silently drifting outside expected cost behavior. Most teams can see their total AI bill after the fact. That is too late. What they need is operational visibility into which agent caused the spend, what pattern caused it, how severe it is, and what action should be taken. Costile sits between a company’s AI agents and model providers such as Anthropic. It routes requests through a proxy, logs only metadata such as model, tokens, cost, timestamps, agent ID, session ID, and stop reason, and turns that metadata into diagnostics. Prompts and responses are not stored. The product shows teams a command-center view of their AI agents: which agents are healthy, which are critical, what they spent in the selected time window, and what issue is driving the risk. When an agent is flagged, Costile gives a diagnostic report with the incident window, request log, baseline comparison, projected monthly exposure, and recommended fix. The problem we are solving is not just “AI is expensive.” The deeper problem is that AI agents are becoming autonomous software systems, but companies are still monitoring them like simple API calls. A bad agent loop, retry cascade, model-routing mistake, or runaway request can create cost, reliability, and governance risk before anyone notices. Costile helps engineering, product, and operations teams answer three questions quickly: What is going wrong? Which agent or session caused it? What should we do now? The initial product focuses on AI cost diagnostics, haywire detection, alerts, audit logs, API key management, and enterprise-ready reporting. Over time, Costile can become the observability and control layer for AI agent operations.

Cobrief

Cobrief is developing an AI-powered public procurement platform to help businesses across all industries find, evaluate, and win government tenders — replacing manual, time-consuming bid processes with intelligent automation that acts like having an extra colleague on the team. Public procurement represents over 800 billion NOK annually in Norway alone, yet the average government tender receives only around 3–5 bids. In nearly 20% of tenders, only one or zero suppliers submit a bid. The reason: tender data is scattered across closed platforms, the process is complex, and small businesses lack the resources to keep up. Suppliers can't find the opportunities, or give up because the process is too complicated. The result is less competition, worse deals for taxpayers, and lost revenue for businesses that could have won. Cobrief aggregates public tenders from procurement databases across Scandinavia, Finland, and Germany — including Doffin, TED, Udbud, and Hilma — into a single searchable platform. AI-powered matching scores every opportunity against each company's profile, sending relevant alerts via email, Slack, or Teams. When a team decides to bid, an AI writing module drafts proposal responses from a knowledge base of past submissions. Automated price sheet filling pulls from product catalogs, and CV matching identifies the right personnel. A Bid Manager Agent provides autonomous support throughout the entire process — functioning as an AI colleague from evaluation to submission. Teams collaborate in shared workspaces with task boards, deadline calendars, and role-based access. Used by 1,500+ companies, with a free plan to get started. The founders experienced firsthand how broken the public procurement process is for suppliers. Tender data that should be freely and directly accessible by law is in practice locked behind commercial platforms, creating unnecessary barriers to competition. They saw that businesses — especially SMBs — were missing out on opportunities worth billions simply because the system was too opaque and complex. Cobrief was built to fix that: make public tenders accessible, understandable, and winnable for every business. Beyond the product, the team is actively advocating for open procurement data in Norway through anbudsdata.no, pushing for systemic change so that public tender data is truly open — not just in theory, but in practice.

Defend Denmark

Defend Denmark er Danmarks første og eneste lokale bug bounty platform. Vi forbinder danske etiske hackere med danske virksomheder, så sårbarheder bliver opdaget og lukket inden de udvikler sig til reelle trusler. På platformen kan etiske hackere lede efter sikkerhedshuller hos vores kunder. Finder en hacker en reel sårbarhed, udbetaler kunden en dusør. Det gør it-sikkerhed resultatorienteret frem for tidsorienteret, som ellers er normen i konsulentverdenen. Målet er at få flere danske virksomheder til at tage bug bounty modellen til sig som et aktivt værktøj i deres sikkerhedsarbejde. Defend Denmark er søstervirksomhed til islandske Defend Iceland. Vi er stadig tidligt i opbygningen af virksomheden og kommende medarbejdere får reel indflydelse på de praktiske rammer, herunder kontorplacering og daglige arbejdsgange.

MAIAA ApS

maiaa is a curated marketplace for design-led meeting and event spaces, helping companies and teams find venues with character for meaningful, in-person gatherings. We combine carefully selected spaces with a thoughtful booking flow to replace generic, transactional venue sourcing with a more human, design-driven experience. The problem we’re solving: Finding inspiring spaces for meetings and small events is still fragmented and inefficient. Companies often rely on a mix of spreadsheets, emails, and generic listing platforms that prioritize volume over quality. The result is wasted time, inconsistent experiences, and venues that don’t reflect the purpose or culture of the gathering. This affects: • companies that value design, brand, and experience • venue owners with distinctive spaces who lack the right distribution and tools Despite a clear demand for better spaces, the market remains operationally outdated and aesthetically undifferentiated. How we solve it: maiaa brings structure, curation, and clarity to the process. We: • curate a limited selection of character-rich venues rather than listing everything • focus on storytelling, aesthetics, and context — not just capacity and price • provide a request-based booking flow that respects how venues actually operate • integrate experiences and add-ons to make gatherings more intentional and complete The platform is being built to balance design sensibility, operational realism, and scalable technology — with a strong focus on usability for both guests and hosts. Why we started: maiaa grew out of firsthand experience. As a founder, operator, and boutique hospitality owner, I’ve spent years working with spaces, guests, and teams — and repeatedly experienced how broken and uninspiring venue sourcing can be, especially for gatherings that actually matter. The motivation behind maiaa is simple: to create a better alternative for people who care about where they meet, how they gather, and the experience they create together. This is not about building another marketplace — it’s about raising the standard for how physical spaces are discovered and used.
