Karaoke isn't really about singing well. It's the one place where being bad is kind of the point. Where you get to be loud, dramatic and a bit vulnerable in front of other people. There aren't many spaces made for that. This one isn't made for anything else. Tonedøv is a karaoke bar built inside a shiny chrome van. We're based on Refshaleøen, but the van is mobile so we take it wherever people want to party: corporate events, private parties, festivals, weddings, julefrokoster, brand activations. When you book it, it's yours alone. Doors shut, it's a private karaoke room. Doors open, it's a stage for the whole party to enjoy.

Tarigano is a self-produced clothing brand built on community. What started as vintage reselling became a brand designing and producing its own caps, jewelry, and flip flops.

Klinky is an A/B testing link shortener built for controlled rollouts. One short link routes visitors to two destinations at weights you choose — send 90% to your current page and 10% to the new version you want to try, then adjust as results come in. Every click is tracked in real time, so you can compare variants with real data instead of guessing. Redirects resolve at the edge in milliseconds, which means no measurable latency penalty for visitors and no SEO impact on your campaigns. Typical uses: testing a new landing page against the current one, routing a small share of traffic to a new checkout or onboarding flow, comparing pricing pages, running campaign links where you want to swap destinations without changing the link you already distributed, and geographic or weighted routing for launches. Klinky is built for marketers, founders, and small teams who find full-featured A/B testing platforms too heavy: no JavaScript snippet on your site, no visual editor, no monthly experiment quota — just a link that splits traffic and reports what happened. Setup takes under a minute: create a link, set two destinations, choose the split, share the link. Free tier available while the product is early. Paid plans add custom domains, more links, and higher click volumes. Based in Norway, built on Cloudflare's edge network.

1. The Elevator Pitch GEIST is developing next-generation sailing apparel for recreational and lifestyle sailors who want protection and freedom on the water—without the bulk, stiffness, or elitist aesthetics of traditional sailing gear. By combining high-performance materials, real-world testing, and community-driven design, GEIST delivers technical sailing wear that enhances the experience instead of getting in the way. 2. The What: What are you solving? Sailing apparel today is largely designed for professional racers or extreme offshore conditions—resulting in garments that are heavy, rigid, over-engineered, and visually disconnected from how most people actually sail. This creates a gap for: - Recreational sailors - Lifestyle / adventure sailors - Coastal and day sailors who want reliable protection from wind, spray, and weather, but also comfort, mobility, and a modern aesthetic they enjoy wearing. As a result, many sailors compromise—either wearing gear that limits movement and comfort, or using outdoor apparel not built for marine conditions. This problem affects a broad and growing segment of sailors globally, especially as sailing increasingly overlaps with outdoor lifestyle, travel, and community-driven experiences. 3. How GEIST is solving it GEIST designs sailing apparel from the experience outward. We start by deeply understanding how our users move, layer, vent heat, and interact with their gear during real sailing scenarios—not idealized ones. From there, we: - Develop function-led designs focused on mobility, breathability, and smart protection - Use premium 3-layer performance fabrics and components chosen for durability, comfort, and sustainability - Prototype early and test continuously with sailors in real conditions - Co-create features, fit, and details with our community rather than designing in isolation Our first products—a sailing jacket and trousers—are built to be worn actively on the water and comfortably before and after, bridging performance and lifestyle without compromise. 4. Why GEIST exists GEIST started from lived frustration. As a sailor and outdoor enthusiast, I repeatedly experienced how traditional sailing gear interrupted the very thing it was supposed to support—the feeling of being present, capable, and free on the water. Gear was either too stiff, too bulky, too aggressive, or simply not designed for how most people sail today. I realized this wasn’t a niche problem—it was systemic. And it wasn’t being solved because the industry hadn’t truly shifted its perspective. GEIST exists to reimagine sailing apparel from the standpoint of experience, movement, and modern sailing culture. It’s about stripping away unnecessary complexity and designing gear that supports focus, confidence, and enjoyment—so when the wind hits, the world narrows, and the gear disappears.

Is It Time to Pivot from Corporate to Co-Founder? Great startups don’t fail because of bad ideas - they stall because they can’t reach the market.

Commercial Co-Founder is a programme designed for professionals ready to pivot out of traditional commercial roles and into high-impact roles within early-stage startups.

Incremental Maritime is developing a digital compliance solution that helps shipowners and operators navigate complex decarbonization regulations; transforming compliance into lower emissions and higher margins. Our deep regulatory expertise, data-driven models, and hands-on client support are what set us apart. Global shipping faces an accelerating tide of climate regulation, from the IMO’s GHG Fuel Intensity targets to FuelEU Maritime and EU ETS. These rules impact everything: fuel costs, asset values, and day-to-day operations. Yet most market players lack the tools and insights to respond; let alone turn compliance into an advantage. This leaves shipowners and operators asking: - What decarbonization investments make financial sense? - How do I reduce risk and avoid penalties? - Can I stay compliant across multiple regimes without extra complexity? - Without smart tools, these questions are hard to answer - and costly to get wrong. Our solution has two core parts: Advisory with immediate impact: We help clients assess regulatory costs, model emissions, evaluate investment cases, and support decision-making from planning to operations. A digital compliance agent (in development): Built on real client work, this tool will combine - Real-time emissions tracking - Cross-jurisdictional compliance logic - Commercial impact analysis - Support from pre-fixture to post-voyage We’re building the go-to compliance engine for modern shipping: one that simplifies decisions, protects margins, and scales with regulation. We launched Incremental Maritime because we saw a blind spot: climate regulation was outpacing the industry’s ability to respond and the result was confusion, cost, and missed opportunity. With experience spanning maritime operations and regulatory systems, we knew we could help. We believe that smarter compliance is not a burden, it’s a pathway to performance. We're here to equip shipping with the tools to decarbonize profitably, one fixture, one voyage, one regulation at a time.
