Your Autonomous QA Engineer QA isn't just a checkbox; it's the key to good products, happy users, and overall business success. Thorough testing matters because even a tiny glitch can snowball into a bunch of (unforeseen) issues. But let's be real, most developers aren't keen on writing and maintaining tests – they'd rather focus on product development, where their interest truly lies. So, we decided to tackle the boring and time-consuming part of QA testing by developing an AI-based tool, that mimics a real tester. By leveraging the capabilities of generative AI, we’re set to boost developer productivity and ensure clean, bug-free applications.

We are developing a platform to help owners of renewable power plants and their service providers gaining access to the right information at the right time, enabling the right decisions. In order to achieve this we deconstruct the hundreds of documents describing each plant into snippets of information in accordance with our domain-driven data model. In the next 7 years, the world needs to invest almost twice what has been invested into renewable energy generation in the last 20 years. At the same time subsidies are being rolled back, increasing the need to for ensuring that projected ROI is not compromised by underperformance of the investments (i.e. plants). We have lived the pain, and know that NOW is the time to transform the way commercial management of renewable energy plants is being done.

AirDodge is a Norwegian company with an HQ in Oslo, Norway. We are building an automated air traffic management system(termed as U-Space software) to enable scalable drone operations. Our target end customers will be drone operators. U-Space solves the problem for all drone operators by making it much easier to obtain permissions. It enables large scale Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations whereof today this is too costly for most companies. It also makes it safer for manned aviation such as emergency helicopters that will have full visibility of ongoing drone flights in the area they are approaching. Other drone operators such as police, search and rescue will be able to quickly deploy drones opposed to wait for helicopters to arrive. They may also mandate quick clearing of drones from any given area in case such operations must take place. Our solution is to build our own software platform and provide flight services according to the EASA framework recently published. These services will be legally required and the 4 primary services are defined by: 1) Drone Identification: This service will be focused on providing information on all the live drone traffic in U-Space to all participants (operators in the air). 2) Live Air Traffic Identification: This service will be focused on providing information on all the live manned air traffic in U-Space. All manned air traffic has to make themselves electronically visible if flying in U-Space. If a manned aircraft flies too close to a drone, then the drone pilot/operator will receive a warning message. 3) Geo-Zones: These are the core geographical definitions of airspaces on map where drone operators can see where they can or cannot fly. Examples of restricted airspaces include airports, military bases, prisons, bird sanctuaries, obstacles etc. Having an extensive dataset which displays all the possible flight restriction/warning zones is significantly important to drone operators as it ensures compliance and more efficient flight planning. 4) Flight Authorization: This gives drone operators the ability to ensure their flight path does not intersect/conflict with any other operators conducting drone flights in the same airspace. The flight authorization will require drone pilots to submit their flight path in 4 dimensions which include 3D trajectory and time. Flight authorization will also allow drone pilots to communicate with Air Traffic control to request a drone flight in restricted airspace. The response times for both types of requests will be instant. AirDodge was originally founded by Umar in 2022 in Sweden. A year later he moved the company to Norway where he met Serhii in 2024 and then they built the company together. Umar, as the founder of Skyqraft—a company specializing in drone-based powerline inspection—gained firsthand experience with the challenges of commercial drone flying while leading its operations. His deep industry knowledge, combined with Serhii’s technological expertise, laid the foundation for AirDodge. Together, they are building innovative solutions to streamline drone operations, making them safer, more efficient, and seamlessly integrated into regulatory frameworks. We are backed by Antler, Nordic Makers and also received grant funding from Innovation Norway.

Problem: Denmark faces a significant challenge with over 500,000 chronic heart patients who find themselves trapped in a cycle of frequent healthcare visits, averaging 16 times more visits per quarter compared to regular patients. This problem stems from a lack of comprehensive insight into patients' health due to inadequate consumption and continuous monitoring of biometric datasets. Consequently, patients resort to frequent hospital visits to compensate for this lack of insight, placing a substantial burden on medical facilities, clinicians, ethics, and patient well-being during these 'chronic cycles.' Vision: Our vision aims to optimize the current monitoring and care paradigm for chronic heart patients by providing detailed and long-term insights into patients biometric datasets. We intend to achieve this vision through the development and advancement of our product, 'The Link,' a patient-friendly Med-Tech wearable. 'The Link' simplifies user interaction with its recognizable design while maintaining clinical accuracy through 12-lead ECG and supplemented sensors.

Elsewhere is a startup that helps startups to build their startup.. We're a close-knit group of digital experts who help purpose driven founders turn their digital product ideas into thriving organisations. Not quite a venture studio, not quite a product development agency, not really a recruitment company either.. We take the best parts of all of these things (and leave out the worst parts) and bundle it into a pragmatic package that is purpose built for founders of tech startups. Think of us as a band of interim co-founders that help to accelerate an idea and turn it into a real, operational company. Then get out of the way when we're no longer needed. 👉 We help founders to work out the most sensible place to start with their idea 👉 We validate ideas early and de-risk them by building proof of concepts to test with real users 👉 We create evidence based communication to help with investors and pitches 👉 We design, build and develop product strategies for scalable digital things like apps, platforms and web services 👉 We develop go to market strategies that align perfectly with the product roadmap we've created 👉 We assemble the right team to turn a digital product into a fully functioning company 👉 We establish the best time to hand everything over and then we leave it up to you Why do we do this? Because we've worked for startups and we've worked for product studios and creative agencies.. and we see so many things that feel broken and get in the way of getting brilliant, world-beating ideas out of someone's heads and out in the world, making a difference. There is a better way to build impactful organisations.. and we are dedicated to making it happen.
