Common Clouds

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.

Book My Ride

Introducing Book My Ride Book My Ride began with a simple mission — to help local taxi companies compete in a world dominated by global ride apps. We noticed that most taxi companies in Sweden still run everything manually. Calls come in, staff write down addresses, and drivers wait for instructions — a process that costs fleets hundreds of thousands of kronor every month and often frustrates passengers with delays or missed rides. We believed there had to be a smarter way. That’s where Book My Ride comes in. We’ve built two connected products that work hand in hand to modernize the taxi industry. Our first product is an AI-powered Dispatch System that replaces call centers entirely. It can take bookings through phone, chat, email, app, or website — just like a human operator, but faster and cheaper. Taxi companies get their own white-label passenger app, branded in their name, and a powerful backend that automates the entire flow from booking to dispatch. Many fleets, like MiniTaxi in Gothenburg, now save over 260,000 SEK each month by switching to Book My Ride. Our second product is the Book My Ride Marketplace — Sweden’s first nationwide taxi marketplace. It brings together fleets from across the country, allowing passengers to compare, choose, and book rides in one place. The marketplace gives smaller companies visibility and new customers they would never reach alone, while giving passengers more choice and transparency. Together, these two products create a complete ecosystem — where taxi companies can operate efficiently with AI, and passengers can find rides anywhere in Sweden through a single app. Book My Ride was founded by Karthik Sengottaian, who saw firsthand how much time and money local fleets were losing just to keep up with everyday bookings. His goal was simple: to give every taxi company, no matter its size, access to the same technology that powers the biggest players — but with full ownership, control, and a local touch. Today, we’re live with multiple fleets across Gothenburg and Stockholm and are preparing to scale across Scandinavia. Book My Ride is redefining what it means to run a taxi company — AI-powered, fully digital, and proudly Swedish.

Mutonic

Mutonic is an IT procurement platform for the B2B market, with an ambition of making the process of buying IT- hardware and -software more convenient for companies of all sizes both in the private and public sector. We do this by gathering the entire network of vendors, distributors, and resellers on a one-stop platform, giving the companies full access to a large stock and competitive prices. The idea behind Mutonic came from discovering that many companies did not have the resources available in order to always make sure they got the best prices and delivery terms when purchasing products within the IT category. Through the Mutonic platform we offer them access to a large network of suppliers as well as many user-friendly features, that ultimately can save them both time and money, all while offering a fair market chance for the suppliers connected to the platform. We work every day to ensure our users of the platform can make a qualified decision that match their needs, when purchasing IT Hardware and Software.

Quickit

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!

MCon Services

The only thing more important than your time is what you spend it on! Our mission is to allow small and medium-sized business owners to save time and focus on what is truly important: growing their business. Instead of spending their time on day-to-day administration and management work. We do this through digital transformation and process automation. A lot of businesses have amazing potential that is not being utilized because day-to-day operations are taking up most of the time that otherwise could’ve been invested in developing new business ideas and income opportunities. In a large part, the reason for this rising potential is the technological advancement we have seen over the past few years. Although it is creating opportunities, a lot of companies have a hard time adapting their operational and administrative processes to this new way of doing business. As mentioned our whole reason for existence is to help companies go through digital transformation, to set themselves free of their old inefficient processes. We use a combination of different frameworks from the fields of Business Process Management and Software Development to tailor digital processes 100% to our client´s workflows, management and operations. The nature of our work can described as two integrated phases that each brings a unique value to our client. The first phase is all about in-depth analysis of current processes, painpoints, operation dynamics and redesign of these from a digital perspective adding the technological aspects. The second phase is related to developing the actual automation software, scripts, integrations and business logic using the technologies. There is a catch though: in the second phase, the first phase is actually repeated – the closer we work with the technical development the more opportunities arise along the way, which usually allows us to optimize the processes even more than expected. How and why did it start? “The only thing more important than your time is what you spend it on.” I realized this when I was 16, working a boring data entry job. At that time, I had already moved out and really had to learn how to prioritize my time. My main goal and dream was to become a professional basketball player and this repetitive, boring job was just taking away my valuable time, which I could otherwise be spending at the gym. For the first time in my life, I had too many goals but too little time. So I decided to change that. What started as a few formulas and scripts to automate my data entry, quickly turned into an app, which turned into 5 apps, and by the time I was 18 turned into my own company. I realized how small and medium-sized business owners face the same issue I was facing – too many goals, but too little time. And the solution: process automation and digital transformation. 2 years later and counting, I am running a company of process specialists, analysts, consultants, developers, and technical writers to help companies and business owners create more time for what is truly important. The journey has been awesome, but to be honest it is not all about the success. Just like I see companies as a bunch of processes, I also see life as a process – a learning process! Most importantly, this journey has brought me amazing knowledge and experience, which I would never give up for anything, and it shaped into the fearless person I am today. For me, life is about challenging yourself and learning from it – throw yourself into the deep end yet learn to survive! I will say it one more time: "The only thing more important than your time is what you spend it on!" Feel free to connect and get a cool conversation started!

We also show that we care by having a staffed support organisation which can be reached by phone, chat or social media.
