VAEBZ: Uniting Fans, Artists, and Promoters for a New Era in Grassroots Music. Imagine the power of discovering your new favourite artist at a local gig you would’ve missed. For fans, artists, and promoters, these moments define what grassroots music is all about—connection, discovery, and community. Yet today, too many of these moments slip away as audiences remain scattered and platforms lack integration. That’s why we built VAEBZ—the world’s first platform fully dedicated to bridging these gaps for grassroots music scenes. Born from the founders' journey of organizing nearly 100 live events, starting with a wedding-turned-concert, VAEBZ is more than an app. It’s a movement where every fan, artist, and promoter becomes part of a vibrant, self-sustaining ecosystem. VAEBZ brings people together through personalized recommendations, real-time updates, and community-driven features that ensure no one misses a beat. What Makes VAEBZ Different? While platforms like Eventbrite and Songkick cater to large-scale events or are generalized like Facebook and TikTok, VAEBZ is built exclusively for grassroots music. Our platform empowers local artists and promoters with tools to thrive—featuring AI-powered discovery feeds, real-time analytics, and integrated merch sales that enable artists to generate income directly. With over 70% of Iceland’s population attending live music annually and similar demand worldwide, VAEBZ is perfectly positioned to reshape how fans and artists connect. Real-World Validation and Strategic Growth With a scalable architecture and Letters of Intent from partners in Norway’s event sector, VAEBZ is primed for rapid expansion in the Nordics. Our experienced team includes industry experts from global festivals and event tech, equipping us with the skills and connections to lead in this space. In Norway, our next target market, strong grassroots demand and strategic partnerships make it the ideal launchpad for expansion across Europe. Why Now? The live music landscape is evolving, with growing demand for authentic, local experiences. As grassroots artists continue to struggle for visibility and fans miss out on talent in their own communities, the need for VAEBZ has never been greater. Join us as we build the future of grassroots music, one unforgettable connection at a time.

We are building a personalized learning platform in programming based on AI and stories for high schools and vocational education to assist teachers. The problems in this area are many for both teachers and students: 1. There is no quick customer support for teachers using digital tools today. 2. High admin time and cost for teachers. 3. Lack of teachers in schools with relevant programming experience. Today Maths teachers teach programming. 5. It is time-consuming for teachers to prepare and check programming assignments for students. 6. It is becoming difficult to stay up to date with the new changing tech era and the job market. 7. The course for learners or students is boring, theoretical and standardized. 8. We all as humans are different but we study the same standardized way. Therefore, no personalization for programming is available today.

It's a new protocol that will make blockchain obsolete. It's scalable, faster, quantum computer resistant, has Fully Homomorphic Encrypted Entities (FHEE) distributed in the network. The main idea behind BL is to strip human actors of any impact on the network. Thus it is both decentralized (there are no humans led centre) and totally centralized (decision process is meant to be performed by the network, humans supply computing power only). The concept is exceptionally brilliant, the Bitlattice platform may even incorporate any other block chain (database) into one single node of the lattice structure e.g. Bitcoin, solving all their inherent problems such as scalability, tx/s etc. Bitlattice has an ever-expanding 3D lattice with conscious FHEE performing transactions between nodes via wave functions.

Where The Atlantic Ocean meets the Northern Sea, and along the coast of Norway, lies an under-used and fairly unknown natural resource. Our forefathers sustained themselves from the ocean for thousands of years, and for them seaweed was a vital source of vitamins and minerals. All of us that started Tekslo were raised by the ocean, and together we share a dream of creating a more sustainable Earth and reverse the trends on food and health – as we introduce seaweed to the world. Our harvesting areas are located in the sea close to Tekslo lighthouse, west of the island Tofterøy on Sotra. With its perfect currents, clean, clear and high-nutrient water, no fish farming or other pollutants, it is an optimal site for finding high quality seaweed! We harvest wild seaweed by hand from reefs, rocks and islets close to the coast. This allows us to only and carefully collect the best quality. We then dry the seaweed in our custom-designed room, which is built inside a traditional boathouse.
