RightHair

RightHair is developing a global market and education platform for curly and afro-textured hair to help people and minority women solve the problems of lack of availability of products and services and women's challenges in being financially independent worldwide. Through RightHair we give women all over the world an opportunity to start their own businesses and be financially independent. We do this by creating a software platform to connect freelancers, retailers and hairdressers to their customers. And we top that off with a “skill share” community for education. People with curls and afro textured hair are excluded from offers and services in today's beauty industry. Also, financial abuse is one of the main reasons why women are unable to leave relationships, worldwide. These problems contribute to discrimination in society, that women with minority backgrounds end up outside society and this makes the poor poorer. Women of color are excluded from many of the existing offers worldwide. RightHair solves these problems by creating a market platform where all services and products meet. So that people with curly and afro textured hair always can find something in their area. We also solve women's job and financial challenges around the world by offering a platform on which they can sell their products and services. Here they also get the opportunity to take courses, learn how to start and build a business and collaborate with partners outside their network. RightHair was founded by Lalla Coulibaly and Olimata Jeng who both grew up in Norway with roots from Africa. Due to the lack of offers for themselves and their community, the ladies each started their own platforms. Over the past 5 years, Krølltopp.no and Norwegian Naturals have grown into Norway's largest platforms for curly and afro textured hair with a total of 12,000 monthly users. now the ladies have teamed up to start RightHair as the question they get the most on their platforms is “where can I get my hair cut” and “where can I find products?''. Both ladies want to put time and energy into something that can contribute to women's opportunities and living conditions. This desire comes from their own experience as minority women in Norway with African roots.

As new tools make developing AI more accessible, companies are struggling to re-train their people to use it fruitfully.

AI Academy solves this problem with both custom company trainings and online education.

Mai

Mai is a tech startup that helps sell people's clothes. The resale market is on a rise, but it is still too troublesome for people to get their items into the market and get their items sold. We are building an engine that automatically sells an item for them, and they keep 80% of the price. Read more at maiapp.se. TO DO THIS, SOME OF THE CHALLENGES WE TACKLE ARE: - Predict any resale items market valuation - Publish the item om multiple resale platforms for bigger reach - Predict on what platforms the item will sell - Provide a hassle free peer 2 peer shipping experience WHAT MAKES US BELIEVE IN THIS After running a beta version of our service for 6 months we see that our users love Mai. With a retention at 50% and a low customer aquisition cost the potential to scale is huge. We have sold 1000+ items with high user retention and happiness, and we have a 3x higher share sold rate and 1.5x higher sold price compared to other siloed resale marketplaces. And the best of all (what drives us): At scale, Mai could play a significant role in lowering the emissions from the fashion industry. Buying and selling used instead of new is the #1 most effective way to lower the emissions. THE OFFER After closing a first round of investments we are now looking to expand our team with 2-3 senior developers. The team will be relatively small and we will have a lot of fun! As an early employee, we'll offer you shares of the company together with good salary. You will work next to our amazing Co-Founder and CTO Daniel Sundman with 20+ years engineering experience from Silicon Valley and Stockholm.

Freyja XO Oy

Freyja is initiating a new era for social media platforms, moderation practices, and user protection. Its sophisticated moderation and safety system is ground-breaking and allows it to offer a voice to a marginalized group of creators. Educators, charities, and brands, who offer important sex-education and awareness, don’t have a platform to promote their cause. Mainstream social media censors any mention of sensitive topics, such as sex, and ban creators without warning. As a result, the human right of sexual education is being denied, which is particularly problematic when women’s sexual rights are being stripped away repeatedly. Charities that focus on reducing revenge porn and image based sexual abuse find themselves censored, or banned for talking about their work. Companies focused on sexual health testing, period products, sex therapy and contraception also find themselves banned or censored Educators try to improve education and find themselves censored for naming a body part. Sex workers face the worst discrimination as they are instantly deleted, even when they haven’t posted anything more explict than a bikini photos, whereas a celebrity might post something actually pornographic or link directly to an adult site and not face the same censorship or bans. Freyja acknowledges this overlap of education and adult entertainment and addresses this by offering a safe environment, where people can find what they are looking for: education or entertainment. Freyja is a social media platform, which does not censor or discriminate. It’s a platform, where individuals, charities, and brands can post about sex-education, their products, and their charity work. Creators can monetize their content with a range of payment options or post content for free, like on any other social media platform.
