NIKO JUNE

NIKO JUNE is an active office and creative workshop set up to test the temperature of good objects (1). The production is impulsive and forever flexible (2). The eclectic catalogue exhibits occasion-based small collections alongside one-off pieces created in collaboration (3) with fine talent. Beyond the collaborations is the semi-permanent collection of NIKO JUNE studiowear and gear. (1) GOOD OBJECTS The ones you keep. Those that are made to keep. We are aware that for anyone to get there, to hold on, what matters is only partly the object itself. The defining factor is the attitude of the owner (ownership). But we get somewhere by proposing objects that demand attention for more than a minute. Not by glazing it white, nor pastel or by bending it to match your curves. Instead we wish for you to call us out as loud and opinionated. We are high maintenance. Classic forever. By testing we mean doing experiments on established notions of the designed. And to challenge the conditions of use that follows. Good objects are such that give power to an attitude that treats sustainability, not as science but as emotion. (2) FLEXIBLE Our body is flexible like the smell of patchouli. Meaning that our structure is non-static and open ended. Our identity is a moving thing that allows us to be spontaneous and reactive to sudden impulse or intriguing demands. Impulsivity applies to our process of making. Short production lead-time and fast thinking while aiming for an unhurried object feel and life. Soft legacy. (3) COLLABORATIONS Involving fine talent and expertise naturally help us exercise flexibility and sport us with longer, sleeker limbs to show off. The workshop acts as an international bank of professional, critical and creative exchange. This gives rise to perspectives and intentions or problems as well as solutions that we couldn’t have come up with alone. Also- we do it for the fun of it. This is giving all the way around. Collaborations will always be either limited edition or made by order.

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.

Nordic Rescue Project

We are a non-profit organization that helps abandoned and neglected dogs find new loving homes in Denmark. We collaborate with dog rescue centers in Italy and promote adoptable dogs through our website where it is possible for danish residents to apply to adopt a specific dog. The adoption process is designed to help us find the best adopters for our dogs and inform and educate the applicant about what responsibility it entails to adopt a shelter dog. In collaboration with the rescue center, we match the approved applicants with the dogs. We fight to find a loving home for every single one of our dogs and we wish to create the best possible conditions to make sure that the adoption is successful for both the dog and the adopter. Each dog's background is different but it is not uncommon that they have had a hard life. For this reason, we do extensive health examinations of each dog and they will go through a socialization program before arriving in Denmark. The socialization program is tailored to the dog and the adopter and is created to teach the dog to become a family dog. After the dog's arrival, we continue to follow the development of the dog, and we are always available to provide guidance and support to our adopters.

Silmux Oy

The World Health Organization has dubbed stress as the “Health Epidemic of the 21st Century”. Public premises and offices often lack calm, relaxing, and ergonomic private spaces for people to alleviate stress. In addition, easy-to-use tools exist for measuring stress markers, but they are not providing instant help in improving them and relieving stress and anxiety. Silmu provides an experiential private space to recharge, focus, and relax in public premises where privacy is missing. Silmu is designed for offices and public spaces to help people to measure their wellbeing and instantly alleviate stress and anxiety with content and modern wellbeing technologies such as biofeedback.

Zeabuz

Zeabuz is a spin-off from the leading research community on autonomous vessels at NTNU in Trondheim. Our autonomy technology is field-proven for shortcuts across urban waterways, and we are now searching for long-term investors while preparing for market launch. Water used to be the main infrastructure for most cities in the world. While roads are filling up everywhere, much of the urban waters are have become highly underutilized. At Zeabuz we want to reverse this trend by introducing a technology platform that makes local waterborne transport an economically viable and sustainable option. Our mobility system, which comprises a combination of a network of small vessels, electric drive, and autonomous operation, is a truly scalable solution fit for many of the world’s urban areas. Enabling increased flow by utilizing available waterways will allow more people to travel by foot and bike and hence will reduce the need for road traffic and in the end reduce emissions of climate gasses. Another perspective is that dynamic utilization of waterways will reduce the need for new inflexible infrastructures such as roads and bridges, which saves both money, emissions from concrete production, and local footprint. The Zeabuz urban mobility system will be a compelling and attractive mobility solution for cities globally. Rough estimates have shown that there is a market for approx. 4000 Zeabuz-like ferries in the EU alone. Zeabuz aims to take a major share of this emerging market. The company is founded on the idea that passenger transport across urban waters is a highly suitable starting point for commercializing autonomous mobility. In this segment, risks are mitigated by low speeds and high physical margins which also allow us to focus on solving only a few problems at a time while still earning positive returns from the start. As the Zeabuz technology platform matures in this first segment, we will explore its scaling potential across several dimensions. This means we could branch out and adapt to new opportunities and market demand based on our solid foundation in autonomy, assurance, and mobility solutions. Our autonomy platform can be utilized to deliver Autonomy-as-a-Service which enables entries into new markets, new use cases, and an expansion to more complex operational domains. Zeabuz is now preparing for launching a commercial pilot in a Scandinavian city in 2022. Much of the financial structure required is already in place and will be triggered by the entry of a Lead Investor

Nord A1

REGULATING MODERN TECHNOLOGY We develop 'lifestyle systems’ and the market's first AI-integrated hybrid watch that is designed to counter information overload. Our technology interprets and disperses information to only notify of what is subjectively relevant and important to the user. Our mission is to eradicate the abuse of digital communication to create a socially sustainable cyber life. The market need is indicated by the fact that people receive an average of 64 notifications a day and only a fraction are relevant to the user. The ordinary functionality is static and delivers information regardless of the user's wishes and needs at any given moment, which impairs focus and causes stress. The notifications do not differ from one another regardless of severity and they are all based on sources instead of topics and people. We circumvent this inconvenience and offer a solution that ensures that the user never has to be distracted in vain. Our solution is aimed at high-performing, social, and fashion-conscious men and women mainly in the ages 30-50, who highly benefit from saving time, remaining focused, and reducing screen-time and stress in everyday life. THE FUTURE OF SMART PRODUCTS We solve the problem with a watch that works as a digital ‘gatekeeper’ against irrelevant information rather than an extension to the mobile phone like regular smartwatches. The dynamic functions are based on the user's hierarchical values and micro-activities, which together with AI filtering and machine learning enable customized technology and a completely new type of smart functionality. ★ STARTUP OF THE YEAR-FINALIST┃288 PRE-ORDERS IN 72 HOURS ★ The project has been developed for three years through a global network with competence from companies such as Fossil, Citizen, Hugo Boss, and Intel, and we have senior board members with experience managing 200MSEK-2BSEK companies. The development is now being supported by Kronaby's co-founders and senior engineers Pål Borge and Sarandis Kalogeropulos. We develop our own app and watch movements with two years of smart battery life, and the development of the next generation has also begun which will be a body-heat-driven hybrid that enables life-long battery life. That development project will be carried out together with a Silicon Valley-based company focusing on thermoelectric energy. ★ FUNDING THROUGH VINNOVA┃5 INVESTORS IN 1ST SEED ROUND ★ WHY A WATCH? ○ It creates a physical barrier that deprioritizes the phone to limit screen time. ○ It is the ultimate product to optimize because of its accessibility. ○ All competitors are counter-intuitive and contribute to the problem. ○ Integrating the app with a watch creates more opportunities for patents. ○ The margins in the watch industry are almost unbelievably high. ○ We love watches. FOUNDER STATEMENT What motivated me to quit my day job to focus on my own endeavors was the realization that I really thrive in creative processes, and a company is a very meaningful, fulfilling, and long-term creation. Entrepreneurship lets me look at life as a journey to fulfill my greatest wishes and desires, some that are related to the satisfaction in personal development but mostly my dream to give my family the fruits of life and to ultimately help and inspire the greater society.
