Squarehead Technology provides advanced microphone array systems for audio capture and acoustical zoom. A microphone array  combines a large number of individual microphones to create a highly directional audio output.  The challenge of isolating and capturing desired sound in noisy environments is a well-known problem. Our products allow an operator to zoom in on a particular area and record sound in much the same way a camera zooms in a scene. This is achieved by using sophisticated digital signal processing of audio from several hundred microphones combined into a single system. All audio channels are high quality digital signals that can be recorded without any loss.

Yesper is the AI civil engineer for construction and infrastructure. Construction and infrastructure teams lose enormous time to manual, document-heavy work — reading tenders, taking off quantities, checking deliverables against the rules. Yesper's AI agents read a project's documents, drawings and models, reason against the Swedish standards, regulations and contracts a project runs on (AMA, AB 04, PBL, Miljöbalken and more), and deliver whole pieces of engineering work: tender review, quantity takeoff from BIM/IFC and drawings, and compliance checks — each with page-level source citations. It integrates live Swedish authority data (Trafikverket, SGU, SMHI, Lantmäteriet), computes in code so the numbers hold, and stores data in the EU.

Our Mission We are on a mission: Every year, millions of tons of coffee fruit waste (cascara) are discarded during coffee production, creating significant environmental challenges. We salvage this nutrient-rich, naturally caffeinated super-ingredient to craft premium, organic, non-alcoholic sparkling drinks. By prioritizing a circular economy and working directly with the upcycling of waste products, we don’t just create a delicious alternative for the conscious consumer - we also help reduce environmental impact and create an additional revenue stream for coffee farmers. How We Work We import cascara directly from the farmers and partner with expert subcontractors for our organic brewing, production, and storage, allowing our core team to remain agile, creative, and completely focused on scaling our market presence. At the outset we focus on local hipster/organic cafés, restaurant and bars in the HORECA segment preparing for broader retail when the market is ready. Why Join Us? We are a small, ambitious, and passionate team of founders, innovators, and specialty coffee enthusiasts. As a startup, we value creative freedom, and believe in true ownership. Joining us you will be a foundational part of our journey, with the opportunity to shape our sales strategy, brand culture, and future growth. If you are driven by sustainability, love building authentic relationships, and want to help turn a circular business model into a household name, we’d love to have you on board.
