Infrastructure owners make decisions every day about what to inspect, maintain and replace. But for assets spread across large areas, such as streetlights and cable cabinets, getting an up-to-date picture of their condition is difficult and expensive. Existing records can tell you where an asset is and how old it is. They often tell you much less about how it is actually doing. RabbIT Data helps close that gap. We turn the collection of visual condition data into guided, engaging campaigns. Through our web app, RabbIT Catch, participants find nearby assets, follow simple assessment steps and submit observations and photos. Points, challenges and small prizes give people a reason to join in and keep going. Think Pokémon Go for infrastructure, with a practical purpose. Behind the app, we validate and review observations and connect them with the owner’s existing asset data. This helps owners see patterns across their portfolio, identify assets that warrant closer attention and build a better basis for maintenance and investment decisions. Our first applications are streetlighting and electricity infrastructure. In an eight-week campaign with Skanderborg Municipality, municipal employees collected more than 4,000 registrations. The municipality has signed a three-year agreement and purchased a second campaign. Our founders bring experience from the energy sector, asset management and leadership. We have seen how much depends on decisions made with incomplete information, and how difficult it can be to collect useful condition data at scale. We believe people moving through an area every day can help make infrastructure more visible to those responsible for it. Our role is to make that contribution structured, useful and traceable. These observations complement professional inspections and help owners decide where specialist attention is needed. Today, our focus is on data collection, quality assurance and portfolio insights. Longer term, our ambition is to use the growing evidence base to support benchmarking and predictive models, helping infrastructure owners understand how assets deteriorate and plan further ahead. We are building RabbIT to help owners direct limited resources where they can make the greatest difference: keeping infrastructure safe, extending asset life and avoiding unnecessary replacement.

Utleieagenten is a Norwegian proptech startup solving the "word against word" problem in residential rentals. When a tenancy ends, landlords and tenants routinely disagree about the condition of the home: was the damage already there, was the cleaning good enough, who pays? Without dated documentation from move-in, deposit disputes come down to memory and claims — and thousands of these cases end up in the Norwegian Rent Disputes Tribunal every year. It's a costly, stressful, avoidable conflict built into every one of Norway's 500,000+ rental households. Utleieagenten removes the conflict by making documentation effortless and neutral. The landlord sends a single SMS. The tenant opens a secure link on their phone and walks through the home room by room, taking photos and reporting any issues — guided by a checklist, no app download, no login. Both parties instantly get the same time-stamped condition report. Repeated at move-in, during the tenancy and at move-out, this creates one shared, verifiable record of the home's condition — protecting the landlord's asset and the tenant's deposit at the same time. The product is free to try (send a test inspection to yourself in under a minute) and free through 2026; from 2027 a licence costs NOK 490 per rental unit per year. We also offer free tools used by Norwegian landlords: a digital handover protocol, a rent adjustment calculator built on official CPI data from Statistics Norway, and local housing price statistics. Rental housing is a growing share of the Norwegian market, dominated by small private landlords with no professional tools. Utleieagenten gives them the documentation layer the industry is missing — simple enough for a first-time landlord, systematic enough for a portfolio.

ABOUT FBSTATS & THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE fbstats is a Swedish sport-tech startup aiming to revolutionize how floorball is analyzed, understood, and developed. Floorball is a massive sport, but when it comes to automated match statistics and deep video analysis, it is lagging far behind. Existing solutions on the market are either built for completely different sports or require expensive, fixed arena camera installations that are financially out of reach for the majority of clubs. This leaves coaches and managers at most levels with two bad options: guessing, or spending countless hours on manual, analog tagging of video files after games. It’s inefficient, expensive, and not scalable. We are changing that. WHERE ARE WE TODAY? We are in an extremely exciting early startup phase where the market need is clearly validated. Through our founders roots in the floorball community, we have unique insights into the actual everyday problems and needs of coaches. We are moving fast. We already have a strong, concrete interest from pilot teams who are ready to test the platform. We are currently incorporating the company (Aktiebolag) and have secured the initial funding. Most importantly: our AI engine is already proving itself, accurately tracking players and equipment in early test footage.
