The innovation ecosystem plays a crucial role in the success of startups, but these ecosystems are facing operational and strategic obstacles that limit their potential. The operational difficulties include an inability to effectively support startups leading to high failure rates, low engagement from startups, and resource-intensive reporting processes. On the strategic front, innovation ecosystems face intense competition and struggle to scale their efforts and establish sustainable business models, which often rely heavily on government funding. These challenges impact a wide range of players in the ecosystem, including incubators, accelerators, universities, and enterprise innovation departments. Addressing these challenges can lead to a thriving startup ecosystem, boosting economic growth and driving progress. By investing in the solution of these significant problems, the innovation ecosystem has the potential to unleash its full potential and drive positive change.

At Meum we sell sustainable vegan bamboo razors on subscription for all women. All they need is a bit of hair... We try to swap small day to day activities out with more sustainable alternatives.

Fishby is a recreational sport fishings industry's very own "Google". Through our platform, a fisherman can buy ANY fishing permit in Norway (for now), even those that don't exist yet. The best thing is that we can do it WITHOUT needing the landowner/permit seller to pre-register on the platform or even know about us. It is a trading channel between the fisherman and landowner, and It is as simple as sending a "friend`s request" on Facebook. However, here you are not making friends, you are asking people if you are allowed to fish on their land and for what price.

We are already trusted by leading Nordic publishers like Stampen media, and we are scaling fast to help more media houses fund their future. Why Join Samhub? We are a lean, agile, and highly ambitious team solving a massive, real-world problem. When you join us, you aren't just building another B2B SaaS tool; you are building the financial engine that keeps independent journalism alive.
