DRYE - New washable glove liner and innovative sweat technology.

We are a rapidly growing startup soon launching our innovative product and are looking for a passionate and dedicated co-founder to join us on the journey. If you have experience in advertising strategies, a burning interest in being part of shaping the future of gloves and skinhealth, and are ready to contribute your expertise and enthusiasm, then you are the one we are looking for! We believe in creating meaningful changes and are seeking a co-founder who shares our vision and is ready to tackle the challenges that come with building and growing a successful company. If you are ready to take on this exciting opportunity, please contact us to discuss further. Problem: Despite billions of people using gloves daily, few have reflected on how hand sweat and materials like rubber can affect their career choices and quality of life. 1. Skin diseases affect almost one-third of the world's population. 2. For over 137 years has moisture accumulation inside gloves been a globally unresolved issue costing the society billions and leading to decreased quality of life and career changes. 3. In the US alone, the willingness to invest in symptom relief for hand eczema amounts to 40 billion dollars. Solution: Unlike products on the market that absorb moisture, our product absorbs and transports away hand sweat to keep hands soft and free from moisture and irritation, no matter how long you wear them. Uniqueness compared to cotton gloves: Cotton gloves cannot transport sweat away, as cotton only acts as an absorbing surface, leading to damp hands. Additionally, cotton gloves are used as disposable items and require 50,000 liters of water to produce one kilogram of cotton. Function and material: The DRYE inner glove is made of an exclusive material combination consisting of 55% Lyocell and 45% Polypropylene. This technology is deliberately designed to minimize irritation while enabling optimal moisture transport, enhancing user comfort and effectiveness. Moisture transport technology: Our advanced technology effectively absorbs moisture from the inside of the glove and transports it to the outside of the fabric. By keeping hands dry, our glove not only improves the user experience but also enhances the quality of life for billions of people suffering from hand-related issues.

The BikeBuddies

The BikeBuddies upcycles discarded bikes so citizens and companies easily can get their hands on a fully functioning recycled second-hand bike. A concept that benefits people's health, the mobility in society, the economy and our Planet. In Denmark, more than 300.000 bikes are produced every year and more than 15 % of those end up being discarded. Our mission is to save discarded bikes from being remelted by refurbishing them to give them new lives. Our vision is to revolutionize the way bikes are recycled in Denmark and that way inspire other businesses to pursue a circular approach in their business models. With so many bikes and resources going to waste every year, the idea behind The BikeBuddies was a call to action of creating a business based on a circular economy to help reduce waste in Denmark. By being a front-runner in the era of the circular economy, we can hopefully inspire many more people, entrepreneurs, and businesses to think circularity and sustainability into their operations and everyday life.

Morph

We back bold entrepreneurs in their earliest stages and help shape the foundation of their aspirations. We classify investments into three categories; BUILD, SCALE, and FOMO. Building cases are companies that are so early that the company might not even be registered with the authorities yet. It’s merely an idea that we need to shape together, right from the beginning. Here we put in lots of hours and enough capital to build a minimum viable product and test the product on the market. If successful, we move to a scale-up phase investing more money and/or raise capital from external investors. SCALE cases are more developed. The first team is there, and they are close to a product-market fit. We help build the foundation with capital, advisory and agreed-upon milestones within, e.g., legal work, growth hacking, or strategy. Finally, yes, we do also invest in FOMO cases with only capital…
