CAPVEE

Private markets (equity / real estate / debt crowdfunding, crypto / crypto-like, etc.) have recently opened up to retail investors. We believe that access to private markets is very important to retail investors as it outperforms public markets and adds diversification to the portfolio. It also serves as a gateway to financial literacy for youngsters and minorities. However, private market investments are inherently opaque. We want to shed light on these opportunities. We are basically building Seeking Alpha / Motley Fool for private markets. The company was founded by two serial entrepreneurs. We are looking for a third co-founder, a Nordic social media star (social media marketing, excellent blogger and podcaster, face of the franchise), preferably a woman. We are looking to do a Series A at the end of the year at a valuation of USD 5M (raising USD 1M). Until then, the project is self-funded. The co-founders are serial entrepreneurs: Michael (based in Florida) is the founder and CEO of Sprig (www.drinksprig.com), which he sold in 2019. Olof (based in Zurich) was previously the CFO of a stock-listed food company with USD 700m in sales. He also founded and sold the largest online tea business in Switzerland and he supported the business development and fundraising of Europe's leading insect-based food company.

Celxius

Celxius is building a set of SaaS tools and a marketplace for the Cleantech industry that helps providers bring green energy to more homes faster . Celxius was founded late 2020, by Agustinus Wigeberg and Johan Lind. Agustinus, had after seven years in Cleantech, seen that the installations sector was far from as efficient as it needs to be. As an experienced developer, he knew he could do something to fix it. At the Antler VC accelerator program, he met Johan, an ex corporate executive who had shed his business suit and was longing to build a company that could have a real positive impact. Together, they decided to help reduce carbon dependency by accelerating the renewable energy market. At Celxius, we believe our future on this planet in jeopardy. Some 20 % of greenhouse gas emissions come from the heating and electricity of homes. Transitioning homes around the world to renewable energy needs to be smooth and efficient. This is where Celxius comes in.

My Personal Health Bank

For a quick intro pls see: https://drive.google.com/file/d/168TTZsNef43Awmxz3iALMhx2saVk5ihe/view?usp=sharing The problem & the idea Data may be the driver for change, improvement and understanding, in many sectors, amongst these also healthcare. Patient data is an important creator of knowledge both on an individual level but also on a group, regional or country level. On an individual level, patient data may support and build the clinical decisions, it may provide more efficient treatment, both in regard to time and economy and secure that knowledge about the individual is transferred fast and unbiased to the healthcare staff. For the patient, sharing of his/her data will secure a better understanding of the needs and support better diagnosis and treatment. Patient data are collected and noticed in some form in most countries, either on paper or electronically. Many countries have some sort of an electronic patient journal, either on a country level, regionally or locally. However, many countries also still use pen & paper. This challenges the storage and continuity of data collection and transfer. Patient data records in electronic form reduces the risk of losing valuable data but also allows the data to be shared if needed. The acknowledgement of the importance on several levels of having patient data and the absence of a central, regional or local electronic patient data recording system in Sub-saharan African countries (the target region) initiated the idea of looking at how it would be possible to collect and make patient data readily available for treatment, benefitting both patient and caregiver, and in a bigger perspective, for research and strategic healthcare initiative planning. During small initial market and possibility investigations the idea of creating a patient owned electronic healthdata journal app arose. Mobiletechnology is both greatly advantaged and outspread in the target region and the number of mobile consumers are increasing every year. It was and is anticipated, that the possibility of having a central system is, due to structural and financial reasons, not a possibility but to empower the patient with the ownership of own data through an app seemed a possibility. It is important to underline that data must be generated from the healthcare provider and then fed into the patientjournal at the site of the consultation. The idea is to have the most relevant data collected and stored in the app, ie. medication, allergies, blood type, diagnosis and immunizations. The data that will go into the app is transferred from a healthcare provider at the site of the healthcare visit, eg a clinique, hospital, other. That means that the healthcare provider must have access to a tablet or smartphone containing the healthcare provider app which connects to the patients healthcare data app at the visit. Also any healthcare provider with the app will followingly get access to the data from the patient by connecting (and by being given access by the patient) to get patients healthdata app. So, in summary the basic idea is to provide all citizens with a tool that will help them keep track of their most important healthcare related data including completed and planned treatments, diagnosis, tests, allergies etc. The idea is further that the data is owned by the citizens/patients, and not by the non-existing national or any hospital specific system. Upon each contact with the healthcare personnel the patient's information is updated by the healthcare personnel (e.g. symptoms, diagnosis, tests, treatment, next visit etc.) The basic idea/assumption is that no national healthcare system will be developed in near or short-term future, and that a personally owned "electronic patient journal" can have a significant positive impact on the quality of treatments because of a more complete picture of the patient is available at the time, when a diagnosis and treatment is to be decided.

Screen Time Santa

As a child I used to do chores at home and study hard to get some money from my parents when getting an A in school. Mobile phones today are amongst the first devices children get familiar with and how these devices are being used has caused worries amongst parents. There are many solutions to help parents control and limit childrens use of mobile phones. But what if we could incentivise the "good use" of mobile phone?? A digital wallet to which parents will top up childrens allowence and children will get the money in their digital wallets when they use educational applications in their phones. The parents decide for themselves how much they want to reward the children. Since this is basically a digital wallet, it can be used just like a regular bank account for children as well. The children can get a Visa card to use their money from, they can save, invest, shop, send, donate. The parents can send money to the children in addition to the scheduled amount. The children receive educational videos to learn about the economics and value of long-term savings. The built-in AI observes the children's habits and offers better tools to improve the focus of the children's educational journey. Parents can decide which new apps the kids can download and use to get more money. We have already thought of tens of several tools to strengthen the relationship between young people and parents and we welcome your feedback and new ideas to improve our solution. Parents can separately promote different apps for their children and reward use on their own terms. We have researched the idea of ​​hundreds of parents and all have shown great interest in such a solution. The solution has been developed, but we need support for FI's EMI license to be able to perform debit cards and also marketing help. We have been asked to participate in the next round of Sting's accelerator program in January.
