Returna is the ITAD orchestration platform that gives enterprises full visibility and control over every device transition, from the moment a laptop is flagged for return to its final disposition outcome. Large organisations retire thousands of IT devices every year across multiple regions, vendors, and regulatory jurisdictions. Most still manage this through spreadsheets, email threads, and fragmented vendor relationships. The result: compliance gaps, lost recovery value, and coordination overhead that scales with every new office and every new vendor. Returna replaces that patchwork with a single platform. One interface for every device retirement, regardless of region or vendor. Certified data erasure with per-device chain of custody. Automated compliance reporting across GDPR, ISO 27001, and NIS2. Real-time visibility into recovery value, grading, and vendor performance. And integration with the tools teams already use, including ServiceNow and Freshworks. For IT operations, Returna provides a single registration point for devices entering disposition, with automated routing to certified Return Hubs based on geography, device type, and security policy. For finance teams, every disposition has a financial outcome mapped to cost centres, categories, and invoicing workflows, with full recovery tracking per device, batch, and region. For compliance, erasure certificates, audit trails, and chain-of-custody records are generated automatically and available on demand. No more chasing vendors for documentation. For sustainability, every reuse, recycling, and recovery event is tracked and certified, with ESG metrics aligned to GRI and CSRD reporting requirements. Returna connects enterprises with a global network of certified Return Hubs that handle the physical work: collection, erasure, diagnostics, repair, and resale. The platform coordinates, documents, and reports. One orchestration layer for the entire IT asset disposition lifecycle.

[Pitch] How would the global economy change if consumers' normal household goods -- $10T+ value globally and growing -- were elevated to an investable, tradeable asset class? We're here to find out. Venato -- "to track" in Latin -- is taking a long view on how online resale markets will evolve on a 10 year timescale, informed by co-founder experience as a trader on Wall Street. We're building B2C tech tools that address pressing needs today, while simultaneously bringing our users along on an accelerated path to the future, where we'll be a critical enabler and key beneficiary. We're an ANTLER Ventures start-up, eligible for pre-seed funding in a few short weeks, after which we'll be sprinting to our seed round. We're seeking thought partnership and execution from top-notch interns, and in exchange we'll deliver a hands-on, high impact experience that you can be proud of. [What] Here's what our international co-founding team is focused on today: resale marketplaces are growing 20x faster than the broader retail market. Thanks to these online resale hubs (think Facebook Marketplace, Vinted, Tradera, etc), consumers are starting to think of their household goods as assets -- items that hold value, and can be traded for money. If that mindset were widespread, we foresee a tectonic shift that impacts consumer behavior and the entire consumer goods supply chain, around the globe. But there are a few problems: there's basically no efficient market for stuff today. Consumers don't know what's valuable, how valuable it is, where to get the best price for it, and how to manage sales across the fragmented marketplace ecosystem. These problems are experienced most intensely by the people with good-quality stuff to sell, and the willingness to do it: Millennials and Gen Z top our list, with a bias toward higher income brackets = more valuable stuff. With >1 billion people using Facebook Marketplace alone each month (250 million are selling), there's no shortage of potential users across Europe and the EU. [How] We're building an investment platform for your stuff, and a friction-free path to market. Upload your items, see live price feeds to track value through time, and gather insights through analytics and community. When you're ready to sell, use our AI-driven optimized product listings and marketplace recommendations to get the most for your stuff. Our initial target market is Millennials who aren't as close to their financial goals as they'd like to be: Venato validates this group and gives them a win (a higher net worth) today. We're planning to launch in Denmark, then will expand to the Nordics and eventually to the US. [Why] As frequent but non-professional resellers, we have experience with the friction-filled process of exchanging your stuff for money today. Additionally, as students of marketplace structure, business history, the unfolding evolution of technology, and entrepreneurship, we're seeing the patterns emerging in the market for stuff that suggest a very different -- and very exciting -- future.

Our working culture is Nordic - we have a flat hierarchy where everyone's expected to participate in discussion about the direction and strategy of the company. We believe we can build the best culture if everyone works primarily from the office, but we all work from other locations for a day or a week every now and then.

We are building Newcycle, because we want to end the throw-away society.   Every year our global society throw away 100 billion tonnes of materials. This obviously can't continue. At the the core of this issue lies a general perception that new things are more valuable than things we already own. Or that things new from the store is better than buying it used from someone else. We believe that if it was easier for people to treat the things they own better, keeping them maintained and in mint condition, this perception would change. We started Newcycle on an ambition to kickstart a circular revolution in retail and consumerism. The way we exploit our planet’s resources needs to change. The way we buy things needs to change. And the way we own things needs to change. With the Newcycle app, consumers can create an inventory of everything they own, to get an overview of their products. It's free to use the app, and we offer additional paid services, like reselling their used items. By giving consumers access to digital twins of everything they own, we make it easier for our users to maintain, repair, refine, buy and sell their products, regardless of whether they are the 1st, 2nd or 8th owner of a product. In the app The Newcycle app connects the owner of a product with the retailer who sold it and the producer who made it, for the entire life span of the product, benefiting both the consumers and the producers of the products. The positive result is longer use of the products and in the end recycling. We won’t change the world all by ourselves, but looking back ten, twenty or forty years from now, we’ll see that our role was a central one. And you can join our team, and help lay the foundation for a circular future. Where are we on our journey? - We have launched the first version of Newcycle, which has been well received among our users and partners 🚀 - We have partnered with IKEA, Anton Sport, Fjällräven and Eplehuset 🤝 ... and we are in close conversations with major retailers and brands 🌍 - We are a team of 8 full time employees (+ 2 interns) 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 - We have secured 14MNOK in funding through two pre-seed rounds💰 (and it's a great investor team 👏), and we're closing our seed round the summer of 2023 📆

Spacelab AS is a Norwegian LogTech company. We are creating a SaaS platform with tools and products to optimize the space, weight, and asset utilization in logistics. From creating and visualizing packing plans for shipping containers to asset management systems designed to maximize your asset utilization grade. Assets are underutilized, of the 700 million plus TEU (Twenty Foot Equivalent) shipped globally, only 60 - 70% are utilized, and 30% are shipped empty. Spacelab is envisioning a future where optimization of space and weight, reduces both emissions and cost for a global logistics market. With the current state of the global shipping and logistics industry where prices have increased more than 10X over the past 18 months, and the huge disruptions to supply chain caused by container shortages and lack of transportation assets. We will optimize and aid the situation through digital solutions offering more control and better utilization. Spacelab started because we saw a opportunity to create something new, to aid in breaking down industry silos, and building a platform we truly love to create, with the technology we believe in.

We are building a personalized learning platform in programming based on AI and stories for high schools and vocational education to assist teachers. The problems in this area are many for both teachers and students: 1. There is no quick customer support for teachers using digital tools today. 2. High admin time and cost for teachers. 3. Lack of teachers in schools with relevant programming experience. Today Maths teachers teach programming. 5. It is time-consuming for teachers to prepare and check programming assignments for students. 6. It is becoming difficult to stay up to date with the new changing tech era and the job market. 7. The course for learners or students is boring, theoretical and standardized. 8. We all as humans are different but we study the same standardized way. Therefore, no personalization for programming is available today.
