Tekudo

We are Tekudo, a Copenhagen-based early stage software startup, founded by two experienced entrepreneurs, on a mission to make the Venture Capital and Private Equity industry more sustainable by bringing the value of ESG (envioronmental, social, governance) and impact data to the industry. We believe that companies and investors that have a positive impact on the world should stand out. And we are building the platform to do exactly that: to help them measure the impact on society and how sustainable they/ their portfolios are (ESG and Impact), and then we help them show that to the world in a way that stands out. Building for a sustainable world is not optional anymore, and the people are starting to pay more attention to that. Consumers start looking at whether the products they buy are made with sustainability and ethics in mind, employees choose companies that are fair and sustainable. In short: - Sustainability/ ESG software startup - Experienced co-founders - On a mission to make venture capital/ private equity and startups more sustainable - Backing from a large German early stage VC and angel

Intellimeal

Swedish public meal services are regulated by law. We have identified a great conflict in combining a heavy compliance service with a great craftsmanship. The result is a situation where our children do not eat enough or not at all in school. This means an increased risk for long-term health and not the least concentration and energy throughout the day. School and canteen personnel struggle to live up to compliance in nutrition restrictions and other regulatory requirements. Climate KPI's such as food waste, budget constraints and at the same time ensuring that the children eat a nourishing and tasty meal is challenging and a balancing act which requires experience and tools with sophisticated data to support their work. We have identified three major areas for improvement; 1) Lack of a structured recurring way of collecting feedback from the public meal guests (children, school personnel), 2) There is only one player on the Swedish market offering an IT tool for planning and follow up the meal process. This is a monopoly situation and a huge risk of being irresponsible with tax money, not meeting the needs. The existing tools offered have a high focus on compliance and reporting and less on the guests and the taste and positive experience the meal should give. 3) The increasing alarms of children not eating in school and not getting satiated due to not enough nourishing meals. This is both a risk for the health of next generation and an unfair situation where the children should be served an equal meal wherever you live. We have several main target users. The main customer is the school management and the municipalities. As meal planning is a core process involving many stakeholders, all contributing to fundamental steps in the process, we also see important values to each of these user groups; dietitians, diet economists, meal planners, school chefs, teachers, students and caregivers. All user groups have been involved in our analysis. The function that got the most attention was the feedback function involving the guests. That is unique and there is no such service available in existing tools. It is also requested as the schools need to comply with the authority requirements of collecting feedback throughout the year as part of their meal policy. As we are planning to release our meal planning ecosystem over time, we have during the fall of 2021 carried out a proof of concept among 150 pupils and teachers focusing on one of the main problems - continuous feedback from guests - in a project called skollunch.se. The result proved our concept and the feedback of our test came out very positive from the target groups. We want to offer an intelligent solution for meal planning that proactively suggests a tasty meal based on budget, sustainability, nutrition and rating. With artificial intelligence, business intelligence and interactive functionality, the users will be guided in the meal planning process with engaging and simple interfaces. The core of Intellimeal is situation-based recommendations heavily relying on data locally and globally creating automated meal planning whenever needed and requested. Intellimeal contributes to reducing food waste and at the same time improving knowledge and understanding of sustainable patterns of consumption. We want to contribute to educating the next generation in nutritious food choices to prevent life-style related diseases. We want to work proactively and support the school lunch system with automated and simplified meal planning that result in a more equal and fair meal experience nation-wide, regardless of what the municipalities spend in school lunch budgets and chef experience. This is our contribution to a more sustainable world and to meet the goals of Agenda 2030.

Zoly

Zoly is the first automated online marketplace for buying and selling secondhand fashion to men. The clothing industry is currently standing as the worlds second most polluted industry, right under the oil-industry.

Comparing the CO2 emission of new clothes vs secondhand clothes, it is estimated by thredUP that new clothes has a 5,7 times higher CO2 emission. Our mission is to change that. We want to make secondhand the future mindset of clothing by attracting sellers and buyers to our marketplace where we have developed an automated system that makes it unbelievably easy for the seller to sell his/her clothes and for the buyer to easily filter through thousands of preowned clothing items as well as having a return-policy so the customer can always shop safely.

Zeabuz

Zeabuz is a spin-off from the leading research community on autonomous vessels at NTNU in Trondheim. Our autonomy technology is field-proven for shortcuts across urban waterways, and we are now searching for long-term investors while preparing for market launch. Water used to be the main infrastructure for most cities in the world. While roads are filling up everywhere, much of the urban waters are have become highly underutilized. At Zeabuz we want to reverse this trend by introducing a technology platform that makes local waterborne transport an economically viable and sustainable option. Our mobility system, which comprises a combination of a network of small vessels, electric drive, and autonomous operation, is a truly scalable solution fit for many of the world’s urban areas. Enabling increased flow by utilizing available waterways will allow more people to travel by foot and bike and hence will reduce the need for road traffic and in the end reduce emissions of climate gasses. Another perspective is that dynamic utilization of waterways will reduce the need for new inflexible infrastructures such as roads and bridges, which saves both money, emissions from concrete production, and local footprint. The Zeabuz urban mobility system will be a compelling and attractive mobility solution for cities globally. Rough estimates have shown that there is a market for approx. 4000 Zeabuz-like ferries in the EU alone. Zeabuz aims to take a major share of this emerging market. The company is founded on the idea that passenger transport across urban waters is a highly suitable starting point for commercializing autonomous mobility. In this segment, risks are mitigated by low speeds and high physical margins which also allow us to focus on solving only a few problems at a time while still earning positive returns from the start. As the Zeabuz technology platform matures in this first segment, we will explore its scaling potential across several dimensions. This means we could branch out and adapt to new opportunities and market demand based on our solid foundation in autonomy, assurance, and mobility solutions. Our autonomy platform can be utilized to deliver Autonomy-as-a-Service which enables entries into new markets, new use cases, and an expansion to more complex operational domains. Zeabuz is now preparing for launching a commercial pilot in a Scandinavian city in 2022. Much of the financial structure required is already in place and will be triggered by the entry of a Lead Investor

Pinovo AS

Pinovo AS is a Norwegian scale up that has developed, patented, proven and commercialised surface maintenance technology that stops Ocean Paint Microplastic emissions. Ocean Paint Microplastic emissions are a large but little known problem that we estimate could be generating between 1.5m and 2.25m tonnes of ocean pollution each year (https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/09/how-to-reduce-microplastics-from-paint/). Pinovo has developed a clean, circular dustless grit blasting solution, which stops these emissions and which is also up to 60% more cost efficient than the traditional methods of surface maintenance for spot blasting.

Home.Earth

Real estate and the urban environment have a profound impact on all of us We spend 90% of our lives inside buildings. And by 2050 almost 70% of us will live in cities. The built environment enables life, community and culture. But at the same time, it fosters loneliness and health issues. It counts for almost 40% of global CO2 emissions. It is the biggest living expense for most people. And nowhere is growing inequality more visible than in how we live. To overcome the challenges of population growth, climate change, growing inequality and social unrest, we need to move to a more conscious and responsible version of capitalism. A version that is market-based, but with equal priority for all stakeholders and with long-lasting impact. We are a European real estate company setting out to develop urban communities with inclusivity, liveability and sustainability at its core. We do not have all the answers yet, but we aspire to join forces with likeminded investors and partners – we are a team with the motivation, experience and ambition to be a pathfinder on this journey. We are Home.Earth
