Something is wrong with how we meet new people. Meeting new people is supposed to be exciting, spontaneous and fun. Yet, datings apps have turned it into a monotonous routine. All dating apps claim to be different, but they are essentially all a speed dating game played in solo mode with a pool of strangers. It’s a game of swipe, match and “hey, what’s up” chats that rarely lead anywhere. Sometimes you miraculously get past the boring smalltalk, dodge the ghosting and actually meet! But more often than not, the date you “won” feels like a boring coffee interview. We deserve better than that. That’s why we are creating a different experience of meeting new people. What if instead of playing this speed dating game by yourself, you are playing together with your friends. Instead of the coffee date interview, it’s more like going to a spontaneous party with your close friends and bumping into a crush. If we can bring our vision for this social network to life, a spontaneous adventure of meeting new people with your friends will always be just a few clicks away.

We believe that conversations and negotiations – especially in a business-to-business context – are not ideal. Our skewed motivations and insufficient knowledge about the situation lead to suboptimal proposals: we say things that do not matter and leave some essentials unsaid. We waste everyone's time discussing with the wrong people, and we make deals that are actually bad for us. We at Stealth Black believe that a computer that sees things just as they really are and knows everything about everything can make a difference here. We are building the guardian angel that sits on your shoulder, guides you forward, and watches your back.

S core Nordic is developing the next generation of hardware and software (the infrastructure layer) to help city planners and parking operators bridge the urban data gap and optimize spaces, using 100% GDPR-compliant radar technology and open APIs. The Problem Cities are building advanced digital services, but the physical infrastructure on our streets remains blind. Every day, billion-dollar decisions regarding urban planning and mobility are made based on outdated assumptions and manual measurements. This leads to inefficiently used spaces, unnecessary search traffic, and increased CO2 emissions. Our Solution: The Digital Asphalt Our battery-powered mmWave sensors and Edge Computing continuously gather structured data on occupancy and flows in real-time. By using radar technology instead of cameras, the system is completely anonymous. Data is transmitted via our cloud architecture (PFind) and seamlessly integrated into the existing systems of municipalities and operators. Our Why We were founded on a simple but frustrating insight: A modern city cannot be managed by gut feeling, and citizen privacy must never be compromised to gather data. Our driving force is to give cities the right tools to govern themselves and reach their climate goals, entirely without mass surveillance. Now, we are building the team to make this a reality.

Returna is the ITAD orchestration platform that gives enterprises full visibility and control over every device transition, from the moment a laptop is flagged for return to its final disposition outcome. Large organisations retire thousands of IT devices every year across multiple regions, vendors, and regulatory jurisdictions. Most still manage this through spreadsheets, email threads, and fragmented vendor relationships. The result: compliance gaps, lost recovery value, and coordination overhead that scales with every new office and every new vendor. Returna replaces that patchwork with a single platform. One interface for every device retirement, regardless of region or vendor. Certified data erasure with per-device chain of custody. Automated compliance reporting across GDPR, ISO 27001, and NIS2. Real-time visibility into recovery value, grading, and vendor performance. And integration with the tools teams already use, including ServiceNow and Freshworks. For IT operations, Returna provides a single registration point for devices entering disposition, with automated routing to certified Return Hubs based on geography, device type, and security policy. For finance teams, every disposition has a financial outcome mapped to cost centres, categories, and invoicing workflows, with full recovery tracking per device, batch, and region. For compliance, erasure certificates, audit trails, and chain-of-custody records are generated automatically and available on demand. No more chasing vendors for documentation. For sustainability, every reuse, recycling, and recovery event is tracked and certified, with ESG metrics aligned to GRI and CSRD reporting requirements. Returna connects enterprises with a global network of certified Return Hubs that handle the physical work: collection, erasure, diagnostics, repair, and resale. The platform coordinates, documents, and reports. One orchestration layer for the entire IT asset disposition lifecycle.
