maiaa is a curated marketplace for design-led meeting and event spaces, helping companies and teams find venues with character for meaningful, in-person gatherings. We combine carefully selected spaces with a thoughtful booking flow to replace generic, transactional venue sourcing with a more human, design-driven experience. The problem we’re solving: Finding inspiring spaces for meetings and small events is still fragmented and inefficient. Companies often rely on a mix of spreadsheets, emails, and generic listing platforms that prioritize volume over quality. The result is wasted time, inconsistent experiences, and venues that don’t reflect the purpose or culture of the gathering. This affects: • companies that value design, brand, and experience • venue owners with distinctive spaces who lack the right distribution and tools Despite a clear demand for better spaces, the market remains operationally outdated and aesthetically undifferentiated. How we solve it: maiaa brings structure, curation, and clarity to the process. We: • curate a limited selection of character-rich venues rather than listing everything • focus on storytelling, aesthetics, and context — not just capacity and price • provide a request-based booking flow that respects how venues actually operate • integrate experiences and add-ons to make gatherings more intentional and complete The platform is being built to balance design sensibility, operational realism, and scalable technology — with a strong focus on usability for both guests and hosts. Why we started: maiaa grew out of firsthand experience. As a founder, operator, and boutique hospitality owner, I’ve spent years working with spaces, guests, and teams — and repeatedly experienced how broken and uninspiring venue sourcing can be, especially for gatherings that actually matter. The motivation behind maiaa is simple: to create a better alternative for people who care about where they meet, how they gather, and the experience they create together. This is not about building another marketplace — it’s about raising the standard for how physical spaces are discovered and used.

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.

My startup is in the planning stage and aims to deploy scalable solar-hybrid mini-grids—using technology of Nordic origin—to provide reliable, affordable clean energy to general hospitals across Sub-Saharan Africa. Hospitals widely suffer from unreliable electricity (only ~50% have consistent access per WHO data), leading to frequent blackouts, costly diesel dependence, and life-threatening interruptions to surgeries, emergencies, diagnostics, labs, and refrigeration.The venture targets massive untapped demand in a high-priority healthcare sector, with stable anchor revenue from hospitals, diesel cost savings, falling component costs, supportive policies, and non-binding government agreements in select countries to facilitate rollout—creating very profitable scaling alongside major social/environmental impact for uninterrupted lifesaving operations.Actively exploring feasibility, partnerships, and pilots. Happy to discuss further under NDA for deeper details.

Tid is a watch startup challenging the assumption that products should be designed for a single, default body and identity. Most watches are built around narrow aesthetic and ergonomic norms, leaving many people adapting themselves to the object rather than the other way around. We design unconventional, modular timepieces that prioritize fit, expression, and personal meaning over tradition. The problem we solve is not accuracy of timekeeping, but relevance: creating objects that reflect diverse bodies, lives, and ways of being in the world.

We are enabling the mounting of solar systems in fragile or challenging terrains. Current mounting structures are based on pile ramming, concrete or similar solutions. This limits the number of locations for ground mounted solar systems or makes it very expensive to build these systems. These systems are also very labour intensive, making it difficult to develop solar systems in locations where labour is hi-cost. Since current mounting structures is best for large flat areas, these systems also face competition for other purposes also valuing large flat areas. This makes the alternative cost of the area rather high. We are aiming on mitigating these challenges with our mounting system, opening for larger solar systems in areas that until now have been deemed not suitable. This because the soil conditions are too difficult, the terrain demands too much soil cultivation making the cost high either economical or ecological, the labour cost is too high, or the flat and open landscape is prioritized for other purposes than solar systems. We are not competing with existing mounting system, but opening new possibilities for more solar energy worldwide.

Bokföring för alla småföretagare. Man startar inte företag för att blanda ihop konton, googla momssatser eller stirra på en kontoplan klockan 22 på söndagen. Man startar företaget för att man är bra på något helt annat. Ändå tvingas tusentals svenska småföretagare betala dyra licensavgifter och allt från 15 000 till 50 000 kronor om året till en byrå för uppgifter som faktiskt går snabbt om verktyget är byggt för företagaren och inte för en redovisningskonsult. Det var precis den frustrationen som blev Lumion. Vi tog bort allt som inte hjälper företagaren, förbättrade det som måste vara rätt och prissatte det så att alla har råd: 99 kr / månad.

Built by Builders for Builders - to tackle the productivity challenge in construction The Problem Construction productivity has been stuck for four decades. We believe this is because the process is broken. In other words, AI, robotics, or hammering faster won’t increase productivity until the underlying process is fixed. The Solution Our software helps construction companies move from theory to practice by teaching the essentials of production management and helping the sites move to industrialised construction. Unlike traditional project management, Sitedrive uses location-based schedules to control and optimize tasks, resources, logistics, finances, and site conditions. This creates a single source of truth for all stakeholders, ensuring everyone stays on the same page and improvements are made continuously.

At Birdie Studio, we’re building Birdie – a platform that finally fixes the biggest reason most AI tools fail in B2B marketing: bad input. AI can write fast, but if it doesn’t know your brand, your market, your goals, or your customers — it just makes things up. That’s a huge risk for marketing teams trying to move fast and stay on-message. Birdie changes that. We structure all of a company’s GTM knowledge — from strategy decks and sales insights to product positioning and audience research — and use it to power AI tools that create content that’s on-strategy, on-brand, and actually useful. We’re not building generic chatbots. We’re building the execution engine modern B2B teams need to go from idea to campaign — with AI that doesn’t guess, but understands.
