Smart retailers have strong webshops and lots of tools and data to drive traffic and conversion. But most of their business is still conducted through their physical locations. Using our tools, the physical shops are able to communicate and adjust their customer experience to the individual. Using the existing payment cards and terminals, we recognize the customer and capture all relevant data as is the norm online. This unique information is used to design a better shopping experience in the physical space. Our customers are the well-known retail brands you know from shopping malls across Northern Europe and the malls themselves. Norway and the Nordics already lead the world in electronic payments and the use of mobile and SMS to enhance sales. Now, we are pushing this further by combining access to the existing infrastructure surrounding shopping and a digital mindset to build closer relationships between retailers, shopping venues and their customers. One example of a customer using our on-site technologies to build loyalty and traffic can be seen here: https://youtu.be/c0qcv7CtIZE

Scandinavia’s first acne-positive skincare brand is launching February 2022. Common Clouds is on mission to normalise acne – the world's most common skin condition which affects 90 % of all people at some point. The connection between acne and mental health is well established, impacting everything from self-image to social interactions. Studies have shown that almost 60 % of 15-22 years olds have experienced low self-esteem because of acne, and as many as 19% have declined being photographed because of an outbreak. This is simply not right. With science-backed skincare and acne-positive digital platforms to match, Common Clouds is changing the narrative around acne. Simply put, we created the brand we wish existed when we were teens – flooded in sebum and sadness. It was time to give acne a glow-up. Common Clouds is a 100% digital, direct-to-consumer brand created for Gen Z. Our social commitments are built into the brand DNA from scratch, and we are working closely with organisations supporting mental health initiatives for young people. We celebrate real people and real skin, and will never retouch skin in our imagery. Join our mission to create happier skin and a happier mind, one cloud at a time.

The Product Eyecheck System is a modular SaaS platform that effectively enables sharing of clinical imaging, referrals, and other clinical correspondence instantly and securely between healthcare professionals, such as optometrists, eye doctors, and hospitals. By digitizing the patient journey we enable quicker treatments and fewer patient queues as we can process more patients with uncomplicated diagnoses more effectively. The Problem The prevalence of the most common retinal diseases, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR), is rising in industrialized countries. In addition to demographic changes, this trend is also partly driven by growing numbers of patients with diabetes. This is increasing the workload in hospital ophthalmic units, and public ophthalmologists leading to waiting times of up to 12 months in Norway. This in turn increases the risk for serious eye damage in the general population at risk. The Solution Eyecheck System is a modular SaaS platform that shares clinical imaging, referrals, and other clinical correspondence securely and instantly between healthcare professionals. This in turn enables decentralized controls and diagnosis of patients even in rural areas with sub-optimal eye specialist coverage. Decentralized controls and screenings are made possible due to the vast amount of geographically spread retina imaging devices in over 600 optometrist locations throughout Norway alone. In addition to that, there is a wide-ranging discrepancy of competence levels across the profession of optometrists, where such a service would benefit both the patients and the optometrists. The reason why We are passionate about Eyecare and want to avoid blindness and other serious eye complications in Europe by digitizing the patient journey and creating a modern, more sustainable way to help patients get better. Our founder is an ophthalmologist (eye doctor) in Akershus and embarked on this journey due to his own experience when meeting patients that waited unnecessarily long on their appointment and ultimately an uncomplicated diagnosis.

Seculyze is a cybersecurity SaaS helping security teams get real value out of Microsoft Sentinel. Every day, analysts in Security Operation Centres are flooded with thousands of alerts. Most of them irrelevant. At the same time, the costs of the alert generating system, SIEM, are exploding, and teams struggle to configure their tools correctly. The result? Burnout, missed threats, and wasted resources. We’re solving this by building a smart add-on to Microsoft Sentinel that reduces false positives by up to 94%, cuts data ingestion costs, and ensures best-practice security configurations. Our tool uses machine learning and threat intelligence to automatically triage alerts, recommend improvements, and highlight what really matters—without requiring teams to rewire their setup. We exist to make cybersecurity teams more effective, less stressed, and better prepared. And we’re just getting started. If you’re passionate about meaningful tech that defends digital infrastructure and helps real people do better work, Seculyze might be your next move.
