RightHair

RightHair is developing a global market and education platform for curly and afro-textured hair to help people and minority women solve the problems of lack of availability of products and services and women's challenges in being financially independent worldwide. Through RightHair we give women all over the world an opportunity to start their own businesses and be financially independent. We do this by creating a software platform to connect freelancers, retailers and hairdressers to their customers. And we top that off with a “skill share” community for education. People with curls and afro textured hair are excluded from offers and services in today's beauty industry. Also, financial abuse is one of the main reasons why women are unable to leave relationships, worldwide. These problems contribute to discrimination in society, that women with minority backgrounds end up outside society and this makes the poor poorer. Women of color are excluded from many of the existing offers worldwide. RightHair solves these problems by creating a market platform where all services and products meet. So that people with curly and afro textured hair always can find something in their area. We also solve women's job and financial challenges around the world by offering a platform on which they can sell their products and services. Here they also get the opportunity to take courses, learn how to start and build a business and collaborate with partners outside their network. RightHair was founded by Lalla Coulibaly and Olimata Jeng who both grew up in Norway with roots from Africa. Due to the lack of offers for themselves and their community, the ladies each started their own platforms. Over the past 5 years, Krølltopp.no and Norwegian Naturals have grown into Norway's largest platforms for curly and afro textured hair with a total of 12,000 monthly users. now the ladies have teamed up to start RightHair as the question they get the most on their platforms is “where can I get my hair cut” and “where can I find products?''. Both ladies want to put time and energy into something that can contribute to women's opportunities and living conditions. This desire comes from their own experience as minority women in Norway with African roots.

TRIWA

Watches have, for a long time, been associated with status and tradition. At TRIWA, an acronym for Transforming the Industry of Watches, we want to use the symbolic value and placement of the watch for something more relevant and create modern statement symbols instead of traditional status symbols. By designing watches with stories that transcend style, trends and status we hope to highlight important issues of our time. We are aware that we are not saving the world by making watches, but we like to think of ourselves as norm challengers and innovators in an industry that needs transforming. It’s time for change. We work with innovative materials, organizations and ambassadors that care about making the world a little better. We call this Time for Change. Designed in our creative studio in Stockholm, our collection of watches is designed to last, start conversations and tell stories. Welcome to the world of TRIWA.

By proposing a new way of building cloud software. With this newfound philosophy, Encore's backend development engine empowers developers and their ideas to escape the maze. Shifting development from its compliant tool, murmuring on and on — to being a driver of potential and possibility. We’re clearing a new path for better experiences and better builds.

Abacube

Abacube is automating the way insurance companies calculate the compensation for personal injuries. We're helping the companies save time while making sure the policy holders are getting the compensation they should. Every year, more than 90 000 personal injuries are compensated based on tort law, only in Sweden. All these cases are treated by the exact same practice, yet all companies have their own way of doing the calculations. Abacube is building a SaaS service to automate the way insurance companies are adjusting these claims. Abacube is built on the idea from senior claims adjusters who've had a front row seat to the pain we are solving. Having spent years doing these calculations with pen, paper and solar powered calculators we decided it's time to make a change!
