Ankerias is building an AI-powered software platform to improve how chronic neuropathic pain is treated. We help clinicians make better treatment decisions in complex conditions where outcomes are often driven by trial and error. Neuropathic pain affects hundreds of millions of people globally, yet matching the right patient with the right treatment remains a major challenge. We combine clinical expertise with AI and data-driven methods to enable more precise and personalized care. We build data-driven patient models (“digital twins”) from clinical and physiological data to support better diagnosis and treatment decisions. Our goal is to bring better decision-making into everyday clinical practice. We work closely with clinicians, universities, and AI researchers, and bring together expertise in pain research, healthcare, and technology. We are a team with strong backgrounds in pain research, clinical collaboration, and AI-driven technology. We collaborate closely with clinicians, universities, and AI researchers.

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.

The Brand Leadership Community (BLC) is a Copenhagen-based startup that has evolved from a series of events into a living learning and relationship ecosystem designed for the professionals behind the world’s leading brands. We serve as a strategic knowledge bridge connecting Brands, Agencies, and Technology Vendors—including iconic Nordic names like Maersk, LEGO, Pandora, Aller Media, and Bang & Olufsen (B&O). The Problem We Are Solving Modern brand building is increasingly complex, yet professionals face three critical roadblocks: o The "Martech Gap": Organizations invest millions in complex enterprise software (from a landscape of 14,000+ vendors) but fail to maximize its value due to siloed knowledge and a lack of platform-specific expertise. o Impersonal Networking: Traditional industry conferences are often impersonal "sales pitches" where real peer-to-peer connection is rare and tactical insights are often hidden rather than shared. o Leadership Isolation: Senior leadership can be lonely, and many operators lack a confidential space to compare notes, share "crime scene" stories of failed implementations, and solve challenges with trusted peers. Our Solution We facilitate "relationships that matter" through a multi-layered platform for professional growth: o Strategic Event Formats: We run premium, intimate gatherings like Masterminds and energetic Jam Sessions that prioritize facilitated problem-solving over standard presentations. o Specialized Tech Tribes: We build software-focused sub-communities (e.g., Adobe, Google, and Amplitude tribes) where practitioners help each other drive adoption and innovation. o Knowledge-Based Publishing: Through BLC Insights Magazine, we translate live conversations into evergreen editorial content, creating a repository of peer-endorsed wisdom that guides decision-making. o High-Value Networks: We facilitate high-ticket Network Groups where senior managers workshop real-world problems in an exclusive, non-technical setting. Why We Do It & Current Focus We believe that better content leads to better conversations, and better conversations lead to stronger brands. In an AI-heavy landscape, authentic human connection and peer-led learning have become the ultimate premium. As we enter 2026, BLC is transitioning from "momentum to maturity" by professionalizing our operations through a structured OKR framework. Our current growth focus is centered on student engagement. We are actively recruiting ambitious Interns and Student Workers, primarily those studying Marketing, International Business and/or Business Administration, who want to act as "process engineers". These recruits will help build practical structures and playbooks while serving the architects of global brand leadership.

WinWinKit provides a comprehensive solution for implementing affiliates and referral programs in mobile applications. Our toolkit simplifies the process of building, integrating, and launching effective referral systems, enabling app developers to drive organic growth through word-of-mouth marketing while enhancing user engagement and loyalty. Why for mobile apps? - Because there are no solution that solves the challenge of marketing attribution and that would fit the modern social media world. Why did I start working on it? - Because I needed a tool like that myself, and there is a huge market for the web-first apps, but not for mobile.

Qfix offer a digital platform that seamlessly integrate the local tailors with e-tailers, advertising platforms and logistics providers, which have an enormous potential to enable circular business models while creating efficiency in the entire process. The textile industry is one of the most resource-intensive sectors globally and accounts for approximately 10 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. EU has identified textiles as one of the seven key product value chains that require increased circularity. Circular business models for clothing, such as secondhand sales, rental models, repair of worn garments, repair of reclaimed products, adjustments for better fit have been shown to significantly reduce environmental impact. The aims is to make the local tailors the hub of the circular transition by making existing repair services more accessible.

Konvolo (Unisurveys), is an AI-powered platform that helps universities understand why students apply, choose programs, or drop out. Instead of traditional surveys, we use conversational AI to conduct dynamic interviews that adapt to each respondent’s answers. The platform turns qualitative student conversations into structured insights by automatically analyzing, grouping, and summarizing responses at scale. This allows universities to move beyond surface-level metrics and gain a deeper understanding of student motivations, expectations, and decision-making. Konvolo is used to improve student recruitment, program development, and retention by capturing the “why” behind student behavior — in a scalable, data-driven way.

In Tally, we are building an AI-powered financial reporting assistant that makes it effortless for businesses to access and understand their own financial data. We are solving a core problem in finance: companies often have the data, but it’s locked behind fragmented systems, complex reports, and manual processes that make it slow and difficult to turn numbers into clear decisions. Getting answers to basic questions—what’s driving performance, what changed, what needs attention—too often requires spreadsheets, specialists, and time most teams don’t have. Tally acts as an assisting number brain: it understands financial data, translates it into simple insights, and helps businesses work smarter and faster. We’re building the future of financial services around three principles—credibility (trust, transparency, and integrity), security (full control of data protection), and simplicity (reducing complexity so financial reporting is easy to attain and act on).

We are developing a system intended to replace fixed interfaces with software that adapts in real time. Current products still depend on predefined UI paths that fail when underlying models behave in new ways. This gap limits how far teams can push advanced automation. The platform is being designed as a runtime that can generate interface elements dynamically. It aims to let products reorganize themselves around model output and user context without manual UI wiring. The goal is to enable applications that won’t rely on static interaction surfaces once the system is fully realized.

The live entertainment industry still runs on analog processes,scattered Google Docs, Excel sheets, and manual workflows.” Jocky is building the digital infrastructure for live entrainment. Collecting Invoices, scheduling, booking and live entertainment data so that venues, artists, and agencies can run their operations from a single place.
