Spher emerged from a shared understanding of the challenges faced by underserved individuals within our society. The co-founders, driven by personal experiences, recognized the struggles encountered by those who do not conform to societal norms. One co-founder, navigating the complexities of not fitting the typical image associated with his country, joined forces with a woman who had endured constant fear and discomfort due to societal expectations. The pivotal moment that sparked the creation of Spher occurred when the male co-founder witnessed a female friend fall victim to an attack. This tragic incident served as a wake-up call, compelling him to recognize the urgent need for a united front among underserved populations to enhance collective safety. The decision was made to concentrate efforts on supporting women, who often find themselves vulnerable during commutes, nightlife activities, and even online interactions. Spher aims to address the safety concerns faced by women through the development of a specialized app. This platform facilitates a community-driven approach, enabling women to support one another in staying safe during their journeys home and while navigating the digital realm. By fostering collaboration and mutual assistance, Spher strives to empower underserved communities and create a safer environment for everyone, starting with women who deserve the right to move freely without fear.

Many people are talking about the smart grid and how we can reach 100% sustainable energy, and avoid global warming getting out of hand, by intelligently balancing the consumption so it fits with the electricity production. At True Energy we're already doing it! True Energy offers a smart charging app to our end users so they can register their car or charger and have it start or stop charging based on the hour of day and the electricity price, so the user optimizes their charging to be cheapest. The service is free of charge for the end user because they participate in our flexibility pool where the power companies can buy offsetting of the consumption if the grid is overloaded or production is expensive. We use Google Workspace, GitLab as code repo, Jira for our agile project management, and Slack for chat. We have a policy of 100% line coverage for unit tests, and want to support continuous delivery. We focus on collaboration and an open, inclusive work environment. Our team is multinational, and the working language is English, so full proficiency is required.. We have team members in several time zones.

As we look towards 2050, a staggering projection looms: more than 70% of the global population will be urban dwellers. The way we develop and manage our cities and their infrastructures in the next few decades will be critical. Governments globally are called to transform cities into inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable habitats by 2030. The clock is ticking, and the role of cities as primary energy consumers and greenhouse gas emitters only amplifies the need for rapid, transformative action. We recognize the power of cities to shape the future, and that's why we have dedicated ourselves to the cause. By building bridges between business, public sectors, academia, and citizens, Impact The Future catalyse the implementation of sustainable solutions, vital for our urban futures.

We're a close-knit group of digital experts who help purpose driven founders turn their digital product ideas into thriving organisations.

Then get out of the way when we're no longer needed. 👉 We help founders to work out the most sensible place to start with their idea 👉 We validate ideas early and de-risk them by building proof of concepts to test with real users 👉 We create evidence based communication to help with investors and pitches 👉 We design, build and develop product strategies for scalable digital things like apps, platforms and web services 👉 We develop go to market strategies that align perfectly with the product roadmap we've created 👉 We assemble the right team to turn a digital product into a fully functioning company 👉 We establish the best time to hand everything over and then we leave it up to you Why do we do this? Because we've worked for startups and we've worked for product studios and creative agencies.. and we see so many things that feel broken and get in the way of getting brilliant, world-beating ideas out of someone's heads and out in the world, making a difference. There is a better way to build impactful organisations.. and we are dedicated to making it happen.

AquaFood has a patent-pending method for extracting high-value, food-grade components at cold temperatures from the side streams of fish production (e.g. heads, backbone, scales, etc.). The components we extract are; pure fish oil that fits as a supplement, a unique protein mass with high functionality (almost minced meat consistency) that fits perfectly for fish balls, fish burgers, or even tubed fish spread, and lastly, we extract a fine collagen powder that fits for dermatological applications. Today, the side streams of fish production account for 40-70% of the fish that is brought into the processing plants. This is a remarkably higher amount than any other food-producing industry. At the same time, the food production system worldwide accounts for 1/3 of green-house gas emissions, 1/3 of land usage, and 2/3 of groundwater withdrawal. The seafood industry has problems of their own, where 95% of our fish stocks are fully utilized and about 30% have already collapsed. There simply is not way for us to increase or even continue to produce the way that we are in a sustainable way. But we still need to increase food production as the globally increasing population will demand a doubling of protein production in the year 2050 compared to now. AquaFood believes that resource efficiency is a huge stepping stone toward reaching a sustainable food production system. A system where we use our resources efficiently and to their full potential is what needs to happen to step into a sustainable future. In our process, we can make sure that the FULL fish is used to its full potential. Through our process, we use no heating steps and the only effluents from our process are the water that we introduce to the system mixed with a small amount of protein. Therefore, our process is highly efficient, sustainable in terms of lower energy and water consumption but also in terms of the resource efficiency that it brings. Our technology is research-based and stems from decades of research in the area of utilization of aquatic biomasses.
