We make smart collection systems for the circular economy. Helping companies get their circular products back from consumers. So that the products can be reused, refurbished or recycled. Think reverse vending machines for bottles and cans- but for other products, and with a twist of cutting edge technology and beautiful design. We’re an early phase start-up based in Oslo, collaborating with some of the largest companies in the world, helping them transition from linear to circular. We are located at StartupLab at Oslo Science Park, the epicentre of Norway’s tech start-up scene. As part of the GRIN team, you will be given the opportunity to shape and scale a company, as well as innovating, developing, and growing new global business models necessary for a sustainable future.

Nutcracker Solutions owns the product StadiaPitch by Bosch Rexroth and have licensed it to Bosch Rexroth until 2038.  The product is sold worldwide by the Bosch Corporation, and Nutcracker is a part of Bosch`s International StadiaPItch sales team. The goal is to reach 4 sales a year. Bosch pays Nutcracker a license fee between €1M - €1.5M per sale. 90% of the fee is due 5 months after Bosch has signed the contract with the stadium. Nutcracker has a flat predictable annual operating cost of €0.4M, regardless of how many StadiaPitch Sales Bosch Rexroth has in that year.  StadiaPitch entered the commercial phase in 2018 and has received an overwhelming market response. StadiaPitch is today included in the architectural drawings on three stadium projects, and Bosch has solid interest from several of the largest clubs in the world. StadiaPitch has received interest from architects, stadiums, and other stakeholders from 25 countries in the last 12 months.  Nutcracker is a dividend stock and the company is priced at 40 MNOK – pre-money. Nutcracker runs a Private Placement of 1OMNOK through a share issue that will equal to 20% of the new total number of shares. This funding will be spent on IPR, activities that enhance Bosch`s global sales work, and operating costs until we get income from the first Bosch contract. We pay a preference dividend equivalent to 50% of the investment for new investors. We have a commitment of 9 MNOK and we close the placement when we reach after the NXT 2019 events.

What is Between? The process of moving out of your home and into a new one can be one of the greatest stresses of life. To the average person, it’s an expensive and overwhelming process that involves listmaking, phone calls with real estate agents, taking time off from work, packing, heavy lifting, buying takeaway dinners, cleaning, and so on. Have you ever wondered why there’s no app that could help alleviate the pain points of moving? We have. That’s why we founded Between – Norway’s first moving platform. Between is a digital service that revolutionizes the moving process with technology, innovation and the ability to understand needs. To the average person, it means less stress and more control. To electrical and insurance companies, who each year lose thousands of customers due to address changes, it will lead to a lower churn rate and a higher return on investment. To real estate agents and developers, we will provide added value to a much smoother customer journey. What we have achieved We are a small group of entrepreneurs who have founded several successful businesses together. One of which is an online change of address service, a pilot company which has helped us research the moving market for the last two years – with over 50.000 registered customers in Norway and Sweden. Between is the next step. Not just for us, but for the millions of people out there who are about to begin a new life in a new home. We’re doing this because we know that if we can make moving easier, we will also make life easier.

We care about data. Your data – and your company’s data. We have built a software solution that automatically can identify non-compliant privacy data across multiple different data sources and have built an automated clean-up process. Data & More has spent 5 years and analysed over 2 billion data sets and with feedback from over 100.000 users developed the market's most precise and best engine to identify and clean-up non-compliant privacy data. This helps our customer become compliant and in the case of a data breach quickly find & identify & move and notiffy on personal identifiable data. Our solution will find illegal prvacy data and inform each employee about their relevant non-compliant data in a user-friendly task board. As a final safety measure, the employee approves what can be deleted. The solution will then delete the non-compliant data directly in the data source with having the employee locate the data set. The compliance responsible can always track the level of data compliance and any data compliance challenges in the organization using the built-in analytics and dashboards. Our solution is prepared and ready to find the Privacy data, in your data sources, so you don’t have to think about setup, search criteria, and deletion rules. We will help you get started with a short introductory meeting, where the data sources will be connected. see more on www.dataandmore.com
