RightHair

RightHair is developing a global market and education platform for curly and afro-textured hair to help people and minority women solve the problems of lack of availability of products and services and women's challenges in being financially independent worldwide. Through RightHair we give women all over the world an opportunity to start their own businesses and be financially independent. We do this by creating a software platform to connect freelancers, retailers and hairdressers to their customers. And we top that off with a “skill share” community for education. People with curls and afro textured hair are excluded from offers and services in today's beauty industry. Also, financial abuse is one of the main reasons why women are unable to leave relationships, worldwide. These problems contribute to discrimination in society, that women with minority backgrounds end up outside society and this makes the poor poorer. Women of color are excluded from many of the existing offers worldwide. RightHair solves these problems by creating a market platform where all services and products meet. So that people with curly and afro textured hair always can find something in their area. We also solve women's job and financial challenges around the world by offering a platform on which they can sell their products and services. Here they also get the opportunity to take courses, learn how to start and build a business and collaborate with partners outside their network. RightHair was founded by Lalla Coulibaly and Olimata Jeng who both grew up in Norway with roots from Africa. Due to the lack of offers for themselves and their community, the ladies each started their own platforms. Over the past 5 years, Krølltopp.no and Norwegian Naturals have grown into Norway's largest platforms for curly and afro textured hair with a total of 12,000 monthly users. now the ladies have teamed up to start RightHair as the question they get the most on their platforms is “where can I get my hair cut” and “where can I find products?''. Both ladies want to put time and energy into something that can contribute to women's opportunities and living conditions. This desire comes from their own experience as minority women in Norway with African roots.

Adless

Most of us spend a large chunk of our lives on the Internet. Naturally, we think it should be a nice place. But constant ads, paywalls, consent popups, and tracking sometimes makes it feel more like a commercial battleground than a sanctuary of knowledge and productivity. We believe the Internet needs a viable alternative business model that puts the consumer first and offers a seamless experience while still providing content creators with reliable revenue.

2Heal Medical

2Heal is developing an app to help people with chronic disease heal and thrive through a new digital health coach service focusing on lifestyle medicine. In Sweden and the western world 50% have a chronic disease, and all chronic diseases are on the rise. Many of these conditions are connected to lifestyle factors. The healthcare system as we know it has a very small chance of curing these conditions. The reason for that is that they are only relieving symptoms, not treating the root cause of the disease. And all experts work separately in silos - no one is taking responsibility for the patient as a whole. We want to change this. With our method we want to find and treat the root cause of every health problem. We do so by a team based structure that uses a 360 degree analysis for all patients with chronic diseases, and by including lifestyle medicine in our treatment, helping them back to a healthy life (many free from medication). Every patient gets a health coach that helps and motivates them with lifestyle changes: nutrition and food, sleep, training, rest and reload and mental health. The program is done through the app and through digitalt meetings. The app is connected to wearables like apple watch or an Oura ring, and the patient logs their health status in a daily journal. A team of doctors, nutritionists and psychologists are ready for those who need extra support. 2Heal Medical was started by doctors that were missing a method to help people with chronic disease get well, heal and stay healthy long term. The system didn't allow them to work with lifestyle changes, there was just no time - or knowledge for this! We have a physical clinic in Stockholm, and are now ready for the next step - help more people to heal!

Brain+

Digital Therapeutics for Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia. Our mission is to restore patients' independence and quality of life by detecting and treating dementia with digital technologies. Brain+ is addressing one of the largest healthcare challenges of our time, namely dementia. Currently, 1 in 3 seniors die with/of dementia in the US and globally 50 million people are diagnosed with dementia – and unfortunately, this figure is expected to more than triple to 152 million people by 2050. As we generally live longer and the prevention and treatment of the most common causes of death such as cancer and heart disease are getting more efficient, dementia is expected to become a leading cause of death by 2030 and is already the leading cause of death for women in the UK. Dementia puts an enormous emotional burden on the patients and their loved ones as cognitive abilities deteriorate, behaviours change, and independence is lost. It is also a massive and increasing financial burden on society and our health care systems with an accumulated global cost upwards of 1 trillion USD globally today and expected to double to 2 trillion USD within decades, and eventually expected to eclipse the cost of cancer and heart disease.
