Common Clouds

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.

Orbit Supply Chain

Orbit's objective is to drive the transition to recycled plastic. We are a one stop shop for recycled plastic and plastic recycling. That means that our customers either have a plastic waste or a demand for a recycled plastic material. There are several challenges associated with plastic recycling and that is the reason why there is gap between supply and demand. There is a huge demand for recycled plastic, but only 10% plastic is recycled in Europe. That is the equation Orbit is solving.

Ariia

Money laundering is a growing societal problem that annually costs Danish society between 34-59 billion or 1.7-2.9% of GDP. Besides the cost side of that, it creates a great inequality and leads to corruption which undermines society as a whole. Today the money laundering problem is rapidly increasing as the number of wanted individuals have been rising exponentially. ARIIA is a fintech company that develops an innovative IT solution to fight money laundering and financial crime. This solution enables banks and AML (Anti Money Laundering) regulated companies to ensure that they are not facilitating or involved directly or indirectly in such affairs. The three founders behind ARIIA are specialists within the AML sector and financial services. They have a proven track record of successful start-ups in financial services. ARIIA’s solution brings value via: 1. Compliance Ensuring that our customers comply with all the requirements set by the authorities in money laundering legislation. 2. Savings Providing additional savings by removing unnecessary expenses to run vendor systems on client’s premises using legacy rules engines. With ARIIA there is no maintenance, no fine-tuning, no solutions experts required. Our tool is cloud-based, ensuring all data protection best practices (encryption, data catalogue, etc.) 3. Business growth - up to 60% reduction in KYC cycle time - up to 70% cut in Case Resolution time - up to 50% reduction in False Positive hits Such efficiency boosts will improve customer experience and will free up resources for further business development. 4. Safeguard and peace of mind. Protecting from fines and reputational risks in an absolutely new level. With our cutting edge technologies we are able to uncover complex business structures that mask criminals or compromised individuals' participation, obscure connections, facilitation schemes and much more. Our cutting edge technologies: Central Knowledge Graph. The traditional method of screening is to make “lookups” vs sanction and watch lists. However the world is about connections and relationships. Our Central Knowledge Graph is a whole connection´s universe where we analyze companies and owners using interactive visual network. Interconnected Single Data Lake. Traditional approach is to work with siloed datasets that are updated one by one (often manually). We process many databases (bank data, public data, sanction lists, etc.) in a data model, which makes it possible to find far more contexts and connections vs traditional approach. And web crawlers that run 24/7 pulling the most recent up-to-date information from vetted sources. Intelligent Screening AI/ML Traditional approach includes rules engines and a lot of manual work that generates inconsistencies for the overall process and other limitations. We move from Rules Engines to ML models that learn from patterns, improve with feedback loops thus improving accuracy rates as well as ensure consistency in the process that is crucial for passing the audit from regulators. In a nutshell: ARIIA is the innovative, adding-value solution for KYC screening, transaction monitoring, AML compliance and risks identification in a single, intuitive platform. ARIIA are currently looking for funding opportunities to develop the MLP to the next level.

Flox

Flox is an agtech startup which wants to use robotics and AI to enhance farmers' lives. The worst thing for a farmer is to see their crops destroyed and, nowadays, one of the main causes of that are wild animals. Damages amount to billions just in Sweden, but the problem is global and there are currently no efficient solutions. At Flox we use autonomous drones and AI-based image recognition to create virtual fences around the cultivated areas to protect farmers' properties from wild animals such as wild boars and roe deers.

Lalatoys

Lalatoys is a new startup, building a sharing economy retail service for children’s toys. The concept is simple: you sign up and pick the toys you want to play with. Whenever the toy becomes needless for your child, send it back and get something else. Billions of dollars are put into the children's toy market yearly, and of these, millions of unwanted toys are send to landfills every year. What is even worse is that a high amount of children's toys are produced from non-biodegradable plastic. By swapping instead of shopping, we can let our children play in a more eco-friendly way. We launched in Marts 2021 and spend more than a year to adapt and develop the concept to fit the market. Now we have had +1000 subscribers and expect to grow steady through the next year! Aside for daily operation and development of the platform and its features which is essential for us to be a scalable business. The idea started, when I, Dinesan, became father for the first time last year. We bought a lot of toys for our daughter (and still do), but in the end it showed that most of the toys our daughter didn't play with after a very short period - it was quite frustrating that we spend money of something, we either would loose money on reselling and would pile up together with the rest. Currently we are three people in the team: Dinesan Rasiah (Founder - CEO) Christian Nielsen Henriksen (Co-founder CTO) Nicolai Varney (CMO) Jannie Varaney (COO)

SaleAid

In the middle of summer last year (2020) Richard and Lukas had a conversation about how the Swedish youth was so engaged in the Hypebeast culture and how unreasonably expensive it was. That was when this idea was created and throughout the past year it has evolved into something far greater than just a price comparison website for expensive clothing, SaleAid was born. SaleAid aims to create a new kind of price comparison website, which targets on finding the best discounted prices for the user. With a more user friendly platform that offers the user a broader variety of functions when searching for the best price on their product. In the current global market more and more shopping is being done online. During the current pandemic the amount of people choosing to shop from home has increased immensely. With countless stores available at the tip of your fingers, people tend to be more cost conscious. Since they can easily compare prices on the same product sold at different online stores. We all know price comparison websites already exist to help customers find the best prices. However, we have found that there are many aspects of the online shopping needs that are not met by the current price comparison websites. Most of the existing websites provide the customer with the best retail price. With SaleAid we want to change how price comparison websites operate. Our goal is to build a modern customer oriented website with one main focus, finding the best sales for the customers desired product. Ultimately resulting in the best possible price, hence discounted prices are almost always lower than the best retail price. By creating an account on SaleAid, the customer will be offered a price monitoring function which means the customer will not personally have to monitor the prices regularly. Instead the user is supplied with a notification when their desired product's price has changed. With or without an account all users will be able to see the price history of all products. If the user is in desperate need of a product, they can also choose to be shown the best offer in a physical store closest to them. In addition to the functions named above, SaleAid is also unique by providing the customer with a broader variety of retailers. We offer the user the ability to with just one click expand their search and find products on sale, not only domestically, but for example in the north or in Europe. Making international shopping the most affordable and accessible it has ever been. Apart from all the neat functions, we aim for SaleAid to be used differently than current PCWs. We do not want SaleAid to become just another PCW that users spend less than a minute on before moving on. We want to create a platform for users to browse and shop on, not just look up one specific product. We want to become the marketplace for the price conscious online shopper.

My Wings

Our winged shirts combined with accompanying activities help parents who want to nurture children by unlocking their imagination and unveiling their potential. My Wings has created a unique product for the children’s clothing/ dress up market. Each of the wings has a story card and access to accompanying activities that are intended to be playfully utilized by parents (or other primary caretaker) and children to strengthen their bond while at the same time support in the children’s development of qualities such as self-esteem, confidence, communication and courage to name a few, plus introducing concepts around sustainable development. These are qualities that we consider essential for children’s healthy personal development and essential to “soar in life” (aka nurturing their “inner wings”). Our team value opportunities to creat deeper connected experiences between parents and children by engaging in developmental and quality activities. In a sense we are developing an experience to help parents of children between 3-8 years who want to nurture the healthy development of children by reducing damaging negative beliefs and promoting playful positive development.
