Proteins.1

Proteins.1 is a Finnish biotech startup on a mission to make diseases detectable years before symptoms appear — when treatment is most effective and survival rates are highest. The Problem For diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's, the body releases early warning proteins into the bloodstream long before any clinical symptoms emerge. The problem is that these signals are so faint that today's blood tests simply cannot detect them. By the time a diagnosis is made, the disease has often already progressed to a stage where treatment options are limited and outcomes are far worse. Our Solution We've developed a breakthrough technology called Affinity-Mediated Transport (AMT) — think of it as bringing PCR-like amplification to proteins. Just as PCR revolutionized the detection of genetic material, our platform makes individual disease-signaling proteins visible from a standard blood sample, at sensitivities up to 1,000 times beyond what current gold-standard diagnostics can achieve. The technology originated at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, has been validated through EU breakthrough innovation funding, and is protected by granted patents in both the EU and the US. Where We Are Founded in 2025 and backed by €4.7M in pre-seed funding from Lifeline Ventures and Cloudberry Ventures, we are a team of deep-tech founders, engineers, and scientists based in Espoo, Finland — building the next generation of diagnostic instruments that could fundamentally change how the world detects and treats serious disease.

Every call is recorded, and every step traces back to the approved logic behind it, which gives compliance teams call-level evidence to support Consumer Duty outcome monitoring. Customers include BPO Collections, which runs MEGA.AI's identity verification agent across several campaigns. MEGA.AI is certified to ISO/IEC 27001, 27701 and 42001 and audited under SOC 2 Type II.

SignLab

The Pitch SignLab helps families that need to learn sign language or sign-assisted communication to communicate The What Parents to children who are severely hard of hearing or deaf need to learn sign language to communicate. Today, only 1 in 4 parents to deaf children in high-income countries manage to learn sign language. In low-income countries, it is believed to be less than 1 in 10. Families with individuals that benefit from sign-assisted communication face the same challenge. These include the parents to children with Down Syndrome, severe autism or Cerebral palsy. The How An international learning platform for sign languages and sign-assisted communication. The SignLab learning platform is fully digital and can incorporate new languages within weeks. The user only needs access to a smartphone or a computer. The platform makes it fun and easy to learn through gamification and timed encouragement. To ensure that the user gets the most out of every learning session, our review functionality incorporates an AI that knows what signs you are about to forget. The AI then designs a learning session that is tailored to the individual user’s need. Our curriculum is designed in cooperation with sign language teachers in each language. The platform launched in open beta in Norway November 2018. Feedback from parents and sign language teachers gave it a NPS of +64. The platform saw exponential growth with an average growth rate of 276% each month for the first three months (Nov-Feb). This growth all came from word of mouth, $0 spent on marketing. The Why Today less than 10% of the 64 million parents to deaf and hard of hearing children know sign language due to the low availability of education centers. Exclusion from communication have a significant impact on everyday life, causing feelings of loneliness, isolation, and frustration. The inability to properly communicate have a significantly adverse effect on the academic performance of children. SignLab works towards a society where all families have access to teaching themself, their children and their community signs and sign language so that everyone can feel included.

"Sharp is a feeling. Not just a look." Founded in Copenhagen in 2016, BARONS is a premium menswear lifestyle brand on a mission to challenge the status quo in a conservative clothing industry. As a lifestyle brand, we are synonymous with the feeling of being sharp. We believe sharp is a state of mind as much as it is a look.

We are chasing simplicity and are continuously developing One Permanent Collection. At the same time we are obsessive about making life easy for the customer who wear our products every day.  Building a world-class brand should be both challenging and fun.

Blok

Blok is a digital real estate agency for residential properties. Simply put, we help people buy and sell apartments. Why? Real estate transactions are notorious for being the largest and most stressful financial decisions we take during our lives. There are a lot of questions, uncertainty and the process has traditionally been opaque and costly. Our goal at Blok is to fix that by providing a transparent and cost-efficient service, where the customer feels that she’s in control. At the core, we’re a technology company, since we recognize that winning in this market requires us to augment the best real estate agents with the best technology. Our digital services enable us to give our customers a modern customer experience and provides massive operational efficiencies for our real estate agents, which saves time and money, both for us and our customers. Founded in 2017, the company has grown rapidly with apartments sold for the combined value of over 500 MEUR to date and employs over 35 people in Finland and Sweden. We’re backed by prominent Nordic and Swiss investors and our financial situation is solid. The Story Blok's story started from our own experiences in the real estate market. In January 2015 our CEO Rudi Skogman found his dream apartment. To afford it he had to sell his old flat. After some price negotiations the apartment was sold and the real estate agent cashed in a 7000 € commission. Afterwards Rudi started thinking if using an agent had been right choice after all. There had to be a better (and cheaper) way to sell apartments. In the spring of 2016 Rudi got the idea of using technology to automate most of the selling process. Soon after that Juha, Samu and Olli joined. Things started to fall in place: What if we would let the owner arrange viewings? What if bids could be made online? What if the home valuation would be done by an algorithm? What if the transaction cost was a bit more reasonable? After taking a leap of faith and founding Blok the service was officially launched in the spring of 2017. Since then the company has served thousands of home sellers and buyers across Finland and Sweden. The company has won recognition as one of the hottest startups in Europe (Wired) and as the best new web service of the year (Grand One). The Service Our apartment sales service provides an easy and seamless digital experience for selling and buying an apartment throughout the whole home buying and selling process: - The valuation service estimates the value of your apartment based on advanced algorithms and actual transactions. - The trading platform enables bidding for apartments electronically. - The agent service automates nearly all routine tasks of the real estate agent, making the whole process extremely cost-efficient. Our Etsivä service offers an unique way to buyers to find their dream apartment. The service looks for a suitable apartment among all existing apartments in the Helsinki Capital Region and can tell you how many actually exist, how many are sold per year and for what price. You can ask us to contact the owners of those apartments to check if they are interested in buying. Our digital services matched with our stellar customer service team has resulted in a world-class customer happiness which has steadily measured in the 80-90 range on the NPS scale.

PayTjek

PayTjek verifies payslips and employment contracts against Danish collective agreements, with a level of certainty that probabilistic AI cannot offer. Korrekthed. Ikke sandsynlighed. Correctness, not probability. The problem Pay errors are widespread, yet very few payslips ever get checked. Collective agreements are complex, and checking payslips by hand is slow work for trained case handlers. As a result, trade unions only reach a small fraction of the payslips where errors hide, and members lose money they are owed. Our solution PayTjek is an internal tool for trade unions. We combine the latest within AI and machine learning with a deterministic rule engine: AI reads documents and extracts the rules from collective agreements, and the rule engine validates every rule and every calculation. Members upload their payslip through an app. The case handler works in a case flow where every error comes with a direct reference to the relevant clause in the collective agreement and a plain explanation, so the case handler can act right away and has the documentation ready to raise the claim. Member and union can follow up with each other directly in the flow. This lets trade unions offer payslip checks as a natural part of their membership offering, at a scale that was not possible before, without adding pressure on their resources. Our ambition We are a young company with big ambitions. We start with Danish trade unions and the Danish labour market, and our goal is to make payslip verification a standard part of what unions offer their members across Europe. PayTjek was founded in Copenhagen in 2025 by Theis Thøger Veddinge and Anton Gammelmark Andersson, with roots in research on formal verification, and is supported by Innovationsfonden.
