FavaFond is offering micro-loans to foreign-born and minority entrepreneurs in Sweden. A large, innovative and resilient group of entrepreneurs that lacks access to capital, advice, training and the networks necessary to start a business and grow. Fostering gender-equalled financial inclusion and business advice can improve ability and opportunities to become self-sufficient and economically active. In turn, empowering them to lead a fulfilling life integrating into Swedish society. Favafond’s mission is to become a key contributor for that change to take place in Sweden and beyond. Since 2019, we have been testing our business idea/model, issuing initial loans as ”proof of concept”. Data has been collected and analyzed to learn customers profiles, preferences and needs. Also, we have been risk mitigating our lending process and adding complementary business services capacity in compliance with Swedish banking/financial regulation. Our national platform of business advisors (i.e. accountants, coaches, etc.) and minority organizations (i.e. Community associations, startup incubators, etc.) has formalized recently. They are key partners to our business to facilitate access to loans for minority groups and support the improvement of our financial products and quality assurance of our lending process. The financial vehicle to raise the capital needed to issue the loans is a social impact fund – Favafond Invest. This fund will be open to private and institutional investors seeking a financial return on their investment as well as social return with measurable results. FavaFond plans to expand its operation to the rest of the Nordic region once its business idea/model has been thoroughly tested in Sweden and a critical mass of clients established.

GrowthBond is a Danish fintech startup funded by the UN that provides SME finance for online marketing assisted by certified experts. It is estimated that a staggering 450 million companies worldwide are unable to get a loan from the traditional banking system because they operate solely in cash, cannot prove their creditworthiness, do not have collateral, or are unable to demonstrate a market opportunity. It is extremely hard for traditional banks to serve these small businesses when it is nearly impossible to evaluate the risk/opportunity and offer them small loans with low margins, compared to larger loans for big companies with high margins and less risk. That’s why we built GrowthBond, a platform designed to automate the credit assessment process for small business owners, which cuts waiting times by weeks, reduces loan operating costs, slashes minimum loans from thousands to hundreds of dollars, and enables real-time tracking of the deployment and financial return of the funds.

🎛 The Smart Home for Complex Cloud IT Infrastructure ☁️ "Mama always said, SWITCH THE LIGHT OFF WHEN YOU'RE NOT USING IT! Our utility bill is going through the roof." The same principle holds for cloud computing. But everything is turned on 24/7, by default, with no apparent switches available. Complex interfaces, scripting, and monitoring. A mostly manual process, adding hours and hours to engineers' schedules. Wasting businesses' budgets by over 32%. In an industry estimated at $2,4 Bn by 2025. The Smart SaaS Switch Ximplifi is the smart switch helping businesses keep their cloud consumption in check. The SaaS layers on top of the cloud (Microsoft Azure), handling complex shut/scale down of Virtual Machines, Disks, Databases, and more. Simply with a switch (it's a toggle, but who counts 🤷) Not Artificial. Simply Intelligent. The SaaS securely connects with the customer's internal governance and security directory (AzureAD), constantly monitoring and analysing for cost opportunities. To help them get the most cost-optimised cloud consumption outside hours of activity. Where competitors mostly focus on analysing billing data, Ximplifi takes it further. We analyse usage patterns and automate the operational part of managing resources' costs. Giving back valuable time and energy to businesses, helping them ensure state-of-the-art cloud infrastructure at minus 26% of the cost. Join us in taming cloud computing for businesses to prosper.
