ColouReef

We are a new social startup named ColouReef and we are going to rethink and innovate the fashion industry. As you probably know, the fast fashion industry has a more negative impact on our environment and society than it does good. Being one of the most polluting ones, the industry emits more CO2 into the atmosphere than international flights and maritime shipping combined. Moreover, it is a water-consuming giant that is responsible for 20% of all industrial water pollution worldwide. Additionally, fast-fashion companies that produce garments in the global south, are profiting by exploiting local labour and nature. Fast fashion is the problem. Ever changing trends, consumerism and the fear of being left out, affects people psychologically, as fashion collections’ frequency jumped from 2 to 4 per year in 2000 to 12, 16 and sometimes 24 different collections per year in 2019. As a result, in 2014 to compare with 2000, on average people bought 60% more clothes and kept them just half as long. Consequently, this behaviour created another major problem of the industry – waste. Around 85% of the textile ends up in landfills or being burned, while barely 15% are recycled. In 2017 – 16.9 million tons of textile was produced, and only 2,6 million tons were recycled. The problem is, that many consumers in the global North are being held as hostages by the fast fashion trends, without many, if any, sustainable alternatives. This is our solution to the problems above: • To create a fashion rental service based on a circular economy, that allows customers to own different garments by paying a monthly subscription. In this way we will be able to reduce the impact of the fast fashion while allowing people an opportunity to change their outfit and style more often. • We will offer clothes ONLY from sustainable companies, which care about our planet and everyone living on it. Meaning that clothes will need to be produced sustainably and ecologically and/or contain recycled fabrics, as well as not to exploit labour within their supply chain. • Damaged and worn out clothes will be returned back to the clothing brand to upcycle or will be recycled and/or upcycled locally by ColouReef. This way we will fight together the problem of enormous waste caused by the industry. • We will change the habits of the consumers, by providing an alternative to own and wear sustainable clothing for a period of time instead of owning cheap and vastly produced fashion garments. At the same time, we will educate our customers about the damages that the textile industry is doing to our environment. • As the name of our company implies, we want to help to protect coral reefs that are on the verge of extinction. Coral reefs are a vital part of the whole underwater ecosystem. Warming ocean and ocean acidification are two of the main reasons why corals are bleaching and dying around the world. Besides our effort to transform the fashion industry into a more sustainable version of it, we will also support selected NGOs that are fighting against coral extinction. We are looking for people thinking in the same way, seeing the problems and wanting to solve them by disrupting the fashion industry.

Synega

Norway's first online consulting company. We started out with accountants, and kept it that way while we built our IT-platform and overall business structure. Now we are ready for the next phase, and will expand with a line of new services in 2020. In theory, all non-physical services can be delivered through us, however, we have so far chosen to focus on services which require consultants affiliated with the same country as the client, because of knowledge of local laws, language, etc. If you have an idea for a service you think can suit our structure, feel free to contact us on partner@synega.com for further discussion.

Linear

The story behind Linear began in 2018 when our other service Dixu was founded in Helsinki, Finland. While working on that project, we met multiple realtors and other operators working in the real estate industry and heard the difficulties they had with the manual labor. Also, the lack of modern-day practices within the field was unavoidable to see. We could not ignore the problem so instead, we decided to create a solution - Linear. Today, Linear offers exclusive digital services especially build for businesses working in the real estate industry.

KreditNU

KreditNU er en del af Blue Finance Denmark ApS, som er en dansk underafdeling til finske Blue Finance Oy, der siden 2011 har drevet virksomhed i Finland. I 2019 åbnede vi op og tilbyder lån under KreditNU. Vi lægger et stort fokus på grundighed i kreditvurderingerne, ligesom ansvarlighed også ligger dybt i vores DNA. I modsætning til mange af vores konkurrenter, så er vores kreditvurdering ikke fuldt ud automatiseret. Vi har også en menneskelig vurdering på de lån, vi godkender. På den måde sikrer vi, at vores kunder har det rådighedsbeløb og økonomiske råderum, der skal til for, at de kan betale deres lån tilbage. Ligeledes skal man også være fyldt 23 år, før man kan optage lån hos KreditNU. Det er for at sikre, at vores kunder har den modenhed, der skal til for at kunne overskue konsekvenserne af at optage et kviklån. Men ligesom mange af vores kokurrenter, så blander vi os ikke i, hvad du skal bruge pengene på. Velkommen til KreditNU
