Proptly was founded in 2021 by Kristoffer Gjerde, Gunnar Windsand Sem, and Thomas Kristiansen, with a bold vision to transform the often-overlooked, yet critical, part of the climate tech ecosystem: installations. What started as a casual conversation over Christmas drinks about the headaches of managing contractors, quickly turned into a mission to streamline the installation process for climate tech solutions across Europe. We recognized that while there’s no shortage of companies innovating in the climate tech space—producing world-class EV chargers, heat pumps, and solar panels—the bottleneck often lies in getting these technologies deployed quickly and efficiently. That’s where Proptly comes in. We’ve built a B2B marketplace that connects climate tech companies with a network of skilled, vetted installers, making sure that cutting-edge green technologies reach consumers without the typical delays and frustrations. Think of it like Uber for installations: companies get real-time data on installer performance, response times, and customer satisfaction, allowing them to scale their operations with ease. Revolutionizing the Installation Process Our platform tackles a glaring inefficiency in the market—the installation bottleneck—by ensuring that the best installers, backed by proven performance metrics, are always available to deploy climate tech solutions. For climate tech companies, we’re solving a massive headache: ensuring their innovations get installed, not just built. For contractors, we’re providing consistent job opportunities, helping them grow their businesses in a fast-expanding green economy. With $4 million in seed funding, high-profile partnerships including Easee, Sungrow, and Coop, and a stellar team of industry veterans from companies like Kahoot, Oda, McKinsey, EY, Tesla, and Easee, we’re setting the standard for how climate tech installations should be done. Our Vision Proptly aims to become the leading B2B marketplace for order-to-installation processes across Europe and beyond. With climate tech adoption on the rise, we aim to play a crucial role in accelerating the deployment of these technologies, helping the world transition to a greener future more efficiently. We’re not just about getting the job done; we’re about getting it done right—with transparency, speed, and customer satisfaction at the heart of everything we do.

Ecombooster is developing a back-end system for e-commerce companies to remove manual and tedious tasks in order too boost profitability. Typically, e-commerce spends a lot of time gathering product information, images, descriptions etc, put them in excel and then imports them into their e-commerce platform. We automate this work, as well as enable up-to-date stock levels, pricing, purchasing and many more things. Today, there is no good way to automate this kind of work. Ecombooster is onto the solution and save e-commerce personnel loads of time that can be spent on increasing sales and profitability. We do this by webscraping the suppliers websites and then Ecombooster does its magic to make sure the data gets from the suppliers into the e-commerce platforms and set up a sync schedule so the information is uptodate at all times. The company was founded by Tobias Gårdner who had these problems in his own webshop and he thought there must be an easier way to solve this. And then he thought, I can't be the only one with this problem. Said and done, that was the birth of Ecombooster.

YOU KNOW IT Sitting at a Restaurant and trying to get in contact with a waiter to either order or pay the bill. You can see that the staff is busy and not very easy to get eye contact with. In some cases it takes 10-15 minutes to either order or pay the bill. THE SOLUTION IS It’s a software developed to assist the staff while serving all the visiting guests by allowing the guests to order and pay through their own smartphones. This application minimizes waiting time and dispersion of bacteria, it eliminates queues and increases up sales. Despite all of that it’s also a direct marketing channel between restaurant and guest. Vision: Quickit’s vision is to be the leading Scandinavian ordering and paying application when dining in. Mission: Quickit aims to streamline the service by assisting the waiters and become the quickest and easiest way to order and pay. Problems solved with Quickit - Minimizing waiting time - Eliminating queues - Empty tables - Streamlining service - Up sale - Marketing directly to the guests We were a bunch of girls who enjoyed meeting up at cafés to chat about all and nothing for hours, as a break from our exams and boyfriends. We would buy a café latte and then one more and sometimes we would have wine instead. The only problem we met again and again, were the time we had to wait for the waiter in between our orders and mainly when we wanted to pay the bill and leave. Often the result were that we wouldn’t order the extra café latte or glass of wine, because it simply took to long time. The subject of our conversation then changed into how we could solve this problem and optimize our visits and so the concept began to take shape. Not only would the concept solve the problem that gave us the idea, but it’s beneficial for so many other reasons. Like during Covid where we need to social distance and the restaurants gets a direct marketing channel to their guests to promote themselves and set up nice deals to fill their tables. With my (Anne Sofie, Founder) 7 year industry knowledge from being a waiter and manager alongside with my studies, I could then put together the two needs from respectively a business and an user and create a beneficial concept that would make the restaurant experience even better!
