Connecting Grounds is a food start-up based in Aarhus that up-cycles spent coffee grounds (a.k.a. coffee waste) into a food ingredient for B2B snack and confectionary companies and restaurants. Why do we do it? 1. Environment Spent coffee grounds are often treated as waste. Think about how many cups of coffee you or the people around you drink per day. All the coffee waste from drinking coffee adds to the Greenhouse Gas Emissions. 2. Nutritional Value When we brew our cup of coffee, we are only taking advantage of 1% of coffee's nutrients. 99% of these nutrients stay in the spent coffee grounds. These nutrients include caffeine, dietary fibre, proteins and valuable minerals. What we do is change the narrative behind hidden food waste by starting with coffee by-products. By up-cycling such a product, we evert emissions, take advantage of our resources and raise awareness on the importance of up-cycling. Rethinking food is what we do, and we will not stop with coffee by-products. We will continue to search for resources/ingredients that have the potential of being reintroduced in the food stream, again.

Supercharging database performance to reduce server costs & server energy consumption. Vesiro is an early-stage startup that is developing an add-on to Elasticsearch to enable much better search performance. The product is in part based on our novel, patented search algorithms. Initial tests on data from Common Crawl (which is the same data used to train ChatGPT) shows that we can cut search times in Elasticsearch by 30-50% depending on search type used. The increase in search speed means that our software enables a more efficient use of servers in Elastic clusters, helping our customers save money on servers. It also means that the software reduces server energy consumption as fewer servers are needed to do the same amount of search. Vesiro was one of 20 companies to be accepted among 2500 companies applying globally to participate in the Norrsken Accelerator 2023. This means that we have been recognized as one of the world’s foremost high potential impact startups. The company is now closing its pre-seed investment round, which means that it has the capital to grow the team to accelerate software development. If you join our team, you will have the opportunity to take ownership in the company through stock options. As an early-stage startup, we have an exciting journey ahead. You will become a part of a small, tight-knit team that is turning innovative ideas into reality with the potential to have a real impact on the world. As one of the first hires, there will be great opportunities to grow in your role as the company grows. We work in central Gothenburg in the heart of the startup scene at Chalmers E-village, among tons of other startups and ecosystem actors.

Vuffeli har en vision: Vi vil gøre det nemt at skabe det gode hundeliv Vuffeli brænder for at gøre det, fordi vi elsker hunde, hundeforældre og vores team af dedikerede hundeeksperter og medarbejdere. Vi er på en mission, for at være der for hundene. Vi ved, at alle hundeejere gør deres bedste, for at skabe et godt liv for og med deres hund. Derfor er det trist, at 50 % af alle hunde i Danmark er fejlernæret. Det skyldes mange ting - men en af dem, er et forvirrende, misvisende og besværligt marked, hvor ejere misledes, fejlkøber of fejdoserer. Sådan blev Vuffeli født - på en mission for at sørge for at alle hunde fik den rette ernæring. Det gør, at hunde lever et sundere og længere liv. Men hundelivet er mere end foder. Vi er mere end foder. Vi er dem, der udvikler og hjælper hundeejerne. Vi er dem, der sørger for at hundeejer og hund får det, de har brug for - når de har brug for det. Det er dét gode hundeliv.

Watches have, for a long time, been associated with status and tradition. At TRIWA, an acronym for Transforming the Industry of Watches, we want to use the symbolic value and placement of the watch for something more relevant and create modern statement symbols instead of traditional status symbols. By designing watches with stories that transcend style, trends and status we hope to highlight important issues of our time. We are aware that we are not saving the world by making watches, but we like to think of ourselves as norm challengers and innovators in an industry that needs transforming. It’s time for change. We work with innovative materials, organizations and ambassadors that care about making the world a little better. We call this Time for Change. Designed in our creative studio in Stockholm, our collection of watches is designed to last, start conversations and tell stories. Welcome to the world of TRIWA.

Apartly is the fintech startup on a mission to democratize real estate investing. The last 25 years an investment in the real estate market has shown great returns. However, the barriers for a private investor to invest directly exposed to the real estate market are big, with demands of great capital. This means that the ones with limited capital have yet to find a sufficient way to invest. Enter Apartly, the platform that opens up for fractional real estate investing. By adopting a low investment entry level, we allow everyone to invest in this safe investment class as well as allowing private investors to diversify their portfolio by owning shares of several apartments in widely distributed geographic areas. By buying and holding these shares, our customers can take part of the value increase of the property as well as continuous payouts from rental gains of the tenant, and then make an exit whenever they want through the share market integrated in the platform. Apartly came to life through the vision to ensure financial democracy in acknowledged investment classes that today doesn't have one. Our aim right now is to start with the real estate market.
