Scandinavia’s first acne-positive skincare brand is launching February 2022. Common Clouds is on mission to normalise acne – the world's most common skin condition which affects 90 % of all people at some point. The connection between acne and mental health is well established, impacting everything from self-image to social interactions. Studies have shown that almost 60 % of 15-22 years olds have experienced low self-esteem because of acne, and as many as 19% have declined being photographed because of an outbreak. This is simply not right. With science-backed skincare and acne-positive digital platforms to match, Common Clouds is changing the narrative around acne. Simply put, we created the brand we wish existed when we were teens – flooded in sebum and sadness. It was time to give acne a glow-up. Common Clouds is a 100% digital, direct-to-consumer brand created for Gen Z. Our social commitments are built into the brand DNA from scratch, and we are working closely with organisations supporting mental health initiatives for young people. We celebrate real people and real skin, and will never retouch skin in our imagery. Join our mission to create happier skin and a happier mind, one cloud at a time.

The Product Eyecheck System is a modular SaaS platform that effectively enables sharing of clinical imaging, referrals, and other clinical correspondence instantly and securely between healthcare professionals, such as optometrists, eye doctors, and hospitals. By digitizing the patient journey we enable quicker treatments and fewer patient queues as we can process more patients with uncomplicated diagnoses more effectively. The Problem The prevalence of the most common retinal diseases, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR), is rising in industrialized countries. In addition to demographic changes, this trend is also partly driven by growing numbers of patients with diabetes. This is increasing the workload in hospital ophthalmic units, and public ophthalmologists leading to waiting times of up to 12 months in Norway. This in turn increases the risk for serious eye damage in the general population at risk. The Solution Eyecheck System is a modular SaaS platform that shares clinical imaging, referrals, and other clinical correspondence securely and instantly between healthcare professionals. This in turn enables decentralized controls and diagnosis of patients even in rural areas with sub-optimal eye specialist coverage. Decentralized controls and screenings are made possible due to the vast amount of geographically spread retina imaging devices in over 600 optometrist locations throughout Norway alone. In addition to that, there is a wide-ranging discrepancy of competence levels across the profession of optometrists, where such a service would benefit both the patients and the optometrists. The reason why We are passionate about Eyecare and want to avoid blindness and other serious eye complications in Europe by digitizing the patient journey and creating a modern, more sustainable way to help patients get better. Our founder is an ophthalmologist (eye doctor) in Akershus and embarked on this journey due to his own experience when meeting patients that waited unnecessarily long on their appointment and ultimately an uncomplicated diagnosis.

We are a foodtech company on a mission to diversify the food industry. We find chefs from cuisines that are not found in the mainstream and provide them with all resources to share their amazing food and stories with the world. We want to disrupt the food & beverage industry's tendency to favour the big brands and provide equitable opportunities for solo entrepreneurs and small business. We provide access to capital, personnel and infrastructure to our partner chefs so they can create food and drink products under the Sizzle brand. These products can be purchased through our vending machines in offices, retail stores like Tempo or even via delivery apps like Foodora and Wolt. As Swedes, 1st and 2nd generation immigrants, former bike messengers, and sons and daughters to mothers who have worked hard to give us opportunities, we understand that the forces that rule this world, and why we need to create equitable opportunities for all. We are a small team of 3 and our vision is to spearhead the dark kitchen movement globally and we will do it with independent food businesses and homechefs instead of established brands.

Easy, Fast & Fair Claim Settlements. We are developing ValueChecker to be the global brains of insurance product claims. ValueChecker technology enables fast and accurate determination of the fair claim values of damaged products, their replacement alternatives and where those replacements can be bought today. We level the playing field to ensure the fairest outcome for both the insurer and their customers. The current method of claims evaluation is both labor intensive and arbitrary, resulting in a random and sometimes unfair damage compensation value to the customer. ValueChecker today helps numerous Insurers in Europe and beyond to deliver better service and save 20% on damage compensation and operations.

Membantu was founded in 2017 by Stephanie and Eva, who both experienced a great need for an extra set of hands in their children's first years of life.

We are HEMBOO: an early stage start-up with the vision of making low emissions, renewable materials the norm in construction. Besides fossil fuels, the production of concrete is the worst emitter of CO2 in the world. However it is the most used material within the construction sector. But not for long: climate legislation is about to make concrete a whole lot more expensive, by introducing a CO2 TAX. This leaves the construction companies with a problem as there is no valid sustainable alternative they can use. HEMBOO offers an easy solution: prefabricated walls for new construction made of hemp and bamboo with a reduction of 80% CO2 emitted compared to the traditionally used concrete walls. BUT the construction industry is very conservative and risk-averse. Therefore getting to market is a long journey. We built our first prototype are now preparing for the second one and are gathering data on the needs of our customers. Our aim is to provide a solution similar enough in prefabrication and installation methods, to make the transition from concrete fast and easy. Our element is designed for large scaled production so that we can have the largest impact. Recently we have received a total of 520.000 dkk in soft funding for product development and are participating in multiple startup support programs so it is full speed ahead! The team behind it all: We are a diverse team of three, Elsa Maria Iuliano, Helena Brandt Rejndrup and Michael Hallam. Helena and Elsa graduated as architectural engineers from DTU while Michael is finishing up his studies in design and entrepreneurship. We started HEMBOO because we are all very passionate about making an environmental impact. As a team we have a lot fun together, while still being productive. We emphasize a friendly environment where we help each other even though everyone has individual responsibilities. Currently looking to expand and we want you to be a part of it! Reach out if you are interested in getting on board. We are particularly interested in commercial, communication and financial competencies. Based in our joint office spaces in the center of Copenhagen and at CBS in Frederiksberg. And yes they do they do have Friday bars :-) Feel free to contact us with any questions!
