Crystallize was founded in 2017 based on two principles: Using Internet craftsmanship to design and engineer the best headless eCommerce service for building a business online. Utilizing the same principles of internet craftsmanship in every aspect when we build our own company and defining our own business model. Giving us an extreme focus on removing friction to free up resources and focus on what really matters; team, customers, product and growth. Creating even more value for our customers and partners. Exemplified by our simplified legal framework and the way we price our service with a free tier with generous quotas and no limit on features to how we build our globally distributed team and digital customer journey. We want to use these principles to build a movement based on Internet craftsmanship. With our approach, we want to support the craftswomen and craftsmen of the Internet to build: a tailored made customer experience with beautiful service design. Merging customer interaction, digital service and business.

Design ♥️ engineering - in every aspect. Crystallize is a New Normal Group company that has been at the frontier of digital technology and business models for the last twenty years, we have learnt the lessons for what to do and more importantly; what not to do. What to leave out. Both in terms of product scope as well as for your own business model. The founding brothers Bård and Aleksander Farstad have taken earlier ventures to the global scale, serving some of the most demanding clients globally, like The Economist, Financial Times, KitchenAid and NASA, building global ecosystems of partners and developers across all continents. New Normal Group is a venture accelerator and investor, founded by Bård, Aleksander and their partners, with a mission to build exponential software companies that chase the new normal of their industry. Being extremely hands-on, strategically and systematically supporting founding teams while at the same time supporting them with funding and resources so they can focus on what matters the most; building a world-class team, creating products customers love and driving growth. As we ourselves also are entrepreneurs, Crystallize is a venture fully incubated by the New Normal Group in 2017. Now a fully independent company, where Bård spends all his time as CEO, Crystallize still enjoys being a New Normal Group company. With their support we can still focus on what matters most; building the ultimate headless commerce service that redefines how to build, grow and succeed with business online, while pushing the boundaries of internet craftsmanship.

Hundreds of thousands of movies and television series are released every year to the joy of local audiences, but to the annoyance of global audiences who have to wait a long time before these are available in their country.

New drugs for treating diseases of Down syndrome. More than 1% of the global GDP is spent on nursing demented people, and the number requiring nursing will triple within 2050. The disease is progressive, leading to death. There is no current cure available, only symptomatic treatments. Individuals born with Down syndrome have a more than 10x risk of developing dementia as well as a host of other diseases including diabetes. Our drug target, DYRK1A is an enzyme found on chromosome 21, and is considered a key factor determining developmental and medical challenges faced by individuals with Down. The enzyme interacts with multiple biological mechanisms involved in Alzheimer’s and autoimmune diseases. Advanced drug designUsing advanced drug design technologies, we have designed a potent DYRK1A inhibitor drug, PST-900. A use and substance of matter patent have been applied for. The company is currently working on chemical Lead Optimisation with 8 full-time medicinal chemists contracted.Financing and milestonesThe Company raised NOK 5 million in 2015 and 8.8 MNOK in 2016/2017, matching non-dilutive research (BIA) and business grants (Innovation Norway). We demonstrated Proof of Principle in a model system for Alzheimer’s disease in 2Q2016. We have also demonstrated that our drug is capable of reversing diabetes in an animal model. Together with clinical and regulatory advisors, we have identified an important unmet need for a drug to treat newly diagnosed diabetes. We will use this indication to quickly progress to market and from there develop analogous drug molecules in Alzheimer’s disease, focused especially in Down syndrome. Funding soughtThe current funding round will raise 15+ MNOK to fund the progression to the final Development Candidate during 2018. Following this, further funding will be sought to perform toxicology/safety and Phase 1 clinical studies.
