Gungnir of Norway

The main piece of equipment in the gym is the barbell. It is as simple in its form as it is timeless in its design. But when it comes to using the proper safety equipment that comes with the barbell, that’s when the flaws become visible. Today’s methods of securing weight plates to a barbell is done by using collars or clips, which often lead to a poor user experience, and they are often hard to put on and pull off, can easily break or slip during lifts, they are often hard to find and even disappears. The Olympic barbell has remained virtually the same for the last 93 years, and despite today’s standards, improvements can be made. In a seemingly ever-growing market, people’s expectations of safety, design, quality, and user-friendliness in products are on the rise. Gungnir of Norway is a Norwegian startup company that designs and manufactures high-quality gym equipment. The company’s first product is the Allrounder, a standard Olympic barbell with built-in collars for securing weight plates. The built-in collar system or “SlideLock” makes the lifting experience safer, faster, easier, and more reliable than the standard safety equipment in use today. Also, the SlideLock system can be applied to several other bar types like compact group training bars or loadable dumbbells. This solution has shown enormous potential in the fitness market, which we intend to continue to take advantage of. The SlideLock is the first of many solutions that we seek to create within the fitness equipment industry. We started as a company in 2018 in Oslo, Norway, with an idea for a better solution to a problem well known to many who use weightlifting equipment regularly. Gungnir’s vision is to become the new standard solution for securing weight plates worldwide. A game-changing solution to a century old problem.

CVBooster

CVBooster is a CV and resume builder made in Helsinki. It solves a specific problem: most people send the same generic CV to every job posting, and applicant tracking systems filter it out before a human ever reads it. The free tier is manual. You fill in your own details, pick one of the ATS-friendly templates and download the result, with no AI involved. The Pro tier ($16.99 per month or $99 per year) adds AI tailoring: you paste a job posting and CVBooster rewrites your summary and bullet points to match it, flags the keywords you are missing and keeps the layout clean so applicant tracking systems can parse it. CVBooster works in English, German, Finnish, French, Spanish and Portuguese. It ships 1,600+ role-specific resume examples and writing guides, a job feed, and an iOS app (App Store id6804955613). It is built and run by Mustafa Tarabya under DT Nova Tmi in Helsinki, founded in 2025.

Ibex

Ibex is building the future of mental fitness. We're developing a research-informed platform that combines psychology, behavioural science and physiological data to help people proactively strengthen their mental wellbeing through personalised, actionable guidance.
 We believe taking care of our minds deserves the same evolution that taking care of our bodies has already undergone. Today, if you want to improve your physical health, you have access to coaches, training plans, wearables and decades of research translated into practical tools that help you build strength, resilience and long-term wellbeing. Mental health, despite being just as fundamental to how we live, work and thrive, is still largely approached reactively. Clinical care is essential, but for most people there is little support between treating illness and generic wellbeing content.
 We see an opportunity to help change that.
 Advances in wearable technology, behavioural science and AI are making it possible to personalise mental health support in ways that simply weren't practical a few years ago. Technology has become remarkably good at measuring us. Wearables can tell us how we slept, how we recovered and how our bodies responded to stress - but measurements alone rarely lead to better mental health.
 Most people already know that sleep, movement, relationships, recovery and stress all matter. The challenge isn't awareness, it's understanding how these factors interact for each individual and turning that understanding into sustainable action.
 Our ambition is to build a system that turns research and personal data into practical, personalised guidance. Rather than giving everyone the same meditation, journal prompt or breathing exercise, we're building an experience that learns about the individual over time and helps people understand what supports their mental wellbeing, then guides them towards small, meaningful actions that strengthen it over time. Just as no good coach would give every athlete the same training plan, we don't believe everyone should receive the same advice.
 The long-term vision is to make taking care of your mind as practical, personalised and accessible as taking care of your body.
 I founded Ibex after spending years working with people, leadership and organisational development and repeatedly seeing the same pattern: people often recognised the signals only once they had become difficult to ignore. 

At the same time, I saw incredible research, talented clinicians and coaches, and rapidly advancing technology, but very little that brought these worlds together in a practical way for everyday life.
 That question; what if we approached mental fitness more like physical fitness? - became the starting point for Ibex.
 Since then, we've developed an early prototype, completed our first pilot, and are continuing to learn where the product creates value, where it needs to improve, and what we need to build next. We're still early in the journey, but we believe mental fitness deserves the same evolution that physical fitness has already undergone, and we're excited to help shape what comes next.
 If you believe the future of mental health is proactive, personalised and built around helping people thrive, not just treating illness - we'd love to connect.
