Affily is a UGC marketplace and collaboration platform that helps brands scale through authentic, creator-driven content. As traditional ads lose trust, brands struggle to consistently source, manage, and scale UGC creators while maintaining a clear content strategy. Creators, meanwhile, face fragmented workflows, unclear briefs, and inefficient collaboration across DMs, email, and file-sharing tools. Affily connects brands with vetted UGC creators and supports them with clear content strategies and ready-to-use content packages tailored to each brand’s goals. This ensures brands don’t just get content — they get the right content, produced consistently and optimized for performance. To support execution at scale, Affily provides a built-in collaboration workspace where brands and creators manage briefs, communication, file delivery, feedback, and approvals in one structured system. By combining strategy, a UGC marketplace, and collaboration software, Affily turns authentic content into a scalable, repeatable growth engine for modern brands.

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.

GLAZE Technologies turns raw data into “material intelligence.” Across energy, aerospace, and manufacturing, critical components can fail because decision-makers can’t see what’s happening inside their materials until it’s too late. Today they must choose between expensive lab testing or flying blind on the factory floor. We solve that gap with Carmen, our patented, real-time sensor platform that reveals a material’s composition, defects, and degradation at industrial speed and scale. Powered by breakthrough terahertz technology, Carmen spots micro-cracks in wind-turbine blades before they splinter, verifies satellite parts for the European Space Agency, and will soon help any production line certify quality without stopping the line. Why does it matter? Because better material insight means safer infrastructure, fewer recalls, less waste, and a faster transition to a sustainable, high-performance world. We’ve proven the tech in pilots with global consortia; now we’re scaling the business. and looking for bold minds to join the journey.

ESEBA, a deep tech startup from DTU, transforms low-quality textile waste into MDF boards without binders or formaldehyde. We offer a sustainable, non-toxic alternative to traditional wood-based panels. Textile waste is a massive and growing problem in Europe – less than 1% is recycled into new products, and most ends up incinerated. At the same time, formaldehyde regulations are tightening, and deforestation pressures are increasing demand for alternatives to virgin wood. ESEBA’s mission is to enable local, circular board production through a scalable, plug-and-produce production line for furniture manufacturers.
