Dr. Stevens Pillow

My name is Steven John Widecrantz. I am a Urologist at Sealand University Hospital in Roskilde Denmark. For 16 years I have been treating Kidney Cancer Patients, but in recent years I have also been in charge of postoperative complications and seriously ill patients in my department and lately also in the treatment of Corona-patients. In this capacity, I have encountered patients so weakened by months of inactivity in bed, that former healthy patients couldn’t stand on their own feet or even sit up by means of their own. They had an immense loss of muscle-mass and the malnutrition even affected their brain function. Training and mobilizing these patients is difficult and time consuming. To overcome some of these obstacles I invented the “Dr. Stevens Pillow”-system. It is made up of a system of pillows with different resistance, carefully selected in collaboration with experienced physiotherapists to meet the requirements at the different stages of the patients recovery. The pillow is placed in the foot end of the patients bed and the patient, the staff and the patients family are instructed in different exercises by the physiotherapist. The pillow can then be placed in the bed by the patient, the staff or by the family whenever the patient feels like training or when encouraged to do so, supplementing the daily training by the physiotherapist. The pillows will, with the right instruction, strengthen the patients foot-, calf- and thigh-muscles, and it will strengthen the buttocks, the stomach-muscles and the back-muscles. Secondary to strengthening the muscles, the training improves blood circulation thereby improving muscle-nutrition, wound-healing and the heart. Training also aids in prevention of blood-clots. Lung function is improved, lung problems prevented, and more oxygen provided to the bloodstream. Bedsores will also be prevented or healing improved. The patients appetite is improved providing building materials for muscles and healing, and nausea is prevented. Psychologically the patient is strengthened by being activated opposed to lying inactive in bed all day. The possibility to influence their own recovery will motivate the patients to train more. When the patient is exhausted, the pillow is just removed, and the patient can rest. The pillows are made of durable materials that can withstand daily use, and the fabric is hospital standard and easy to wash and disinfect for use for the next patient. No handles are added to ensure easy and safe cleaning. The weight makes them easy to transport. The pillows come in four different colors: Green for the weakest patients. Blue for patients that can sit, but not stand. Red for patients that can stand with the help of a roller. Black for patients that are able to walk a few steps, but still need to build strength. The Black pillow can even be used at home, where it can also be used as a step-machine, a training bench and much more. The size make it easy to store in a wardrobe. The “Dr. Stevens Pillow”-system is so simple to use, inexpensive and versatile, that it can be used in almost any setting: Hospitals around the world, Refugee-camps, Retirement-homes, Hospices etc.

CAPVEE

Private markets (equity / real estate / debt crowdfunding, crypto / crypto-like, etc.) have recently opened up to retail investors. We believe that access to private markets is very important to retail investors as it outperforms public markets and adds diversification to the portfolio. It also serves as a gateway to financial literacy for youngsters and minorities. However, private market investments are inherently opaque. We want to shed light on these opportunities. We are basically building Seeking Alpha / Motley Fool for private markets. The company was founded by two serial entrepreneurs. We are looking for a third co-founder, a Nordic social media star (social media marketing, excellent blogger and podcaster, face of the franchise), preferably a woman. We are looking to do a Series A at the end of the year at a valuation of USD 5M (raising USD 1M). Until then, the project is self-funded. The co-founders are serial entrepreneurs: Michael (based in Florida) is the founder and CEO of Sprig (www.drinksprig.com), which he sold in 2019. Olof (based in Zurich) was previously the CFO of a stock-listed food company with USD 700m in sales. He also founded and sold the largest online tea business in Switzerland and he supported the business development and fundraising of Europe's leading insect-based food company.

Hireproof

Hireproof is a recruitment SaaS that helps companies make better hiring decisions, decrease bias in interview situations, and give candidates a human-centric interview experience. Based on organizational psychology best practices, Hireproof makes anyone a world-class interviewer just by clicking a link. The one constant in every company's recruitment is the employment interview. Unfortunately, the commonly used unstructured interview style is notoriously prone to bias and a poor predictor of job performance. The current trend in the recruitment industry is adding more tools, skill assessments, personality tests, and prerecorded interviews, all of which only increase recruitment complexity and dehumanize candidate experience while providing little increase to hiring validity. Hireproof takes the opposite approach. We aim to simplify recruitment and make interviews so reliable that companies won't need anything else to reach the best possible hiring decision.
