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.

Hi! We are MuskeBear - and we are developing the next big thing for families with babies all around the world.  Short about us: The team behind MuskeBear consist of Tobias Seegert (CEO) and Freya Herluf (CMO). We are two young students from Denmark that are working as machines on our incredible business idea. We are developing a personalized Heartbeat TeddyBear! MuskeBear is a new concept that is going to revolutionize the traditional Teddybear by incorporating smart technology. More specifically our product is a combination of two things. A sweet and soft teddybear and a technological device that can record heartbeat soundtracks in a high quality and play it back too. Our product is developed based on a strong psychological foundation. Several studies have shown that babies have a special need for attachment with what we define as "caregivers". Caregivers are specific persons that a baby has a special relationship with. That would primarily be the baby's mother and father. If this need is satisfied, then the baby will be more curious, socially stable and in general better equipped for growing to be a socially well functioning human being. But! If this need on the other hand is not met, then the opposite scenario can be a possible outcome.  Therefore it is safe to say that sustained positive attachment and security is a necessity for a new born child. Our product offers exactly this attachment, because it can be ASSIST whenever the parents are not able to be with their baby. That could be when the baby has to sleep, is getting babysitted, is in nursery and in many other situations.  Go-to-market strategy and target group: We operate on a B2C market. We are going to sell our product through our own channel, which is our webshop. Our primary target group IS parents with children AT the age of 0-2 years. This target group is also reflected in our marketing focus and strategy. However, our product is also suited for children that are a bit older.  The thing that makes our product stand out in the crowd is our technology based solution. Our innovative solution enables mothers and fathers to record their own heartbeat rhythm- and sound in high quality and incorporate these audios into the teddybear. The fact that we enable families to make personal heartbeat recordings in their own home (Instead of requiring a scanning-process at a hospital or otherwise facilitated by the midwife) is revolutionary. We make the product accessible for everybody, and with our solution you can have your child's first teddybear become a family project. Why are we spending days and nights to create this product? Think about IT. We have conceived an idea that has the possibility to assist hundreds of thousands of families in establishing strong and caring bonds that will last for a whole lifetime. All due to the personal care and attachment that our product brings to the baby and the family. With other words we can make a living while making families happy all over the world.

Skills to the Future, is developing a digital learning platform to help schools to provide supplementary STEM courses in topics where they lack the resources or competence. We think that our present education could be better. Now the content comes more from looking in the rear mirror, than through the windshield. It should take better account of the constant acceleration of our living environment. We want to help the schools to provide our youth education that trends to the future as much as possible. We cannot exactly tell what skills in 10 years are needed, but we can make good guesses and at least show them in the right direction. Our obligation is to give our youth a kick and a spark starting to learn new skills for the future. How we differentiate ourselves from the other course providers? Our pillars 4 are: #1 The quality of pedagogy first We align, curate, and orchestrate all our course material to achieve pedagogic competence and meet the quality requirements of the ‘Finnish Education Standards’. #2 The how: Blended project-based learning with a flipped approach Digital courses mostly rely only on the delivery of educational material. Our digital platform relies on blended open-ended project-based learning with a flipped approach. That means that also we deliver the educational material online but that’s only one-half of what we do. We also deliver teacher/educator lead workshops, Q&As. We want to ensure that the student really can utilize the information given and convert that to skills by practicing aka by doing homework. Just watching videos and answering some quizzes gives you the illusion you have now learned a skill! #3 High impact needs high completion rates By following and complying with the Finnish pedagogical guidelines we aim to raise the completion rate from Udemy like under 10% to over 80%. A raise in engagement is achieved also with help from our 4th pillar. #4 Co-operating and collaborating with the schools We aim to co-operate with the schools by trying to include our courses in each school’s learning curricula and embed them in the school’s teaching environment. We also aim to collaborate with schools by co-creating courses on topics they want. Searching co-workers with a calling I have been working on this project for a couple of years quite loosely. Soon, when the Helsinki Education Hub starts and opens its doors, we are applying to the EdTech Incubator program. So now is the time to onboard and start the cruise, isn’t it? A person on my wish list for co-founders and early team members could be: - a teacher, educator, course builder, or at least be interested in or somewhat familiar with pedagogy. Curating the courses would be one of the tasks - a tech guy who would run and tackle the Learning Management System or Virtual Learning Environment in all its complexities - a hacker, data guy, designer, or whoever who would join testing and building the product/service in the right direction and helping it grow - an audio/video person who would be in building the courses and participating in the marketing activities broadly understood - a content provider because we are going to build ourselves only some MVP’s - there are many other jobs and tasks you could do, so practically anyone who is self-motivated is welcomed to join! My primary target is to have an impact on my activities. Even though money helps in living, I would rather make a ding in the education universe than get wealthy. I prefer diversity in age, gender, and nationality and I am searching for like-minded people who want to share my calling. I am not inviting you to join right away. Working as a co-founder is like marriage, you just can’t quit when you feel like it. Therefore, it’s best for both parties just to make a small project together and after the experiment, we know how we like to proceed. Please contact me markku.porvari@mit.fi or just call +358 40 725 2547.

Supplybase is a platform which streamlines activities related to outsourcing of part manufacturing. If you can order your favourite pizza online in 5 minutes - why does it then have to be such a time-consuming and frustrating process to order a piece of lasercut metal or a 3D printed prototype? While the B2C industry is becoming increasingly digitalized, utilizing data to optimize inventory, product flow and customer engagement, the B2B industry is lagging behind. This is especially true within the industrial order-producing companies, where many companies have little online presence, and in the industry, only 19% have websites with online purchase options. The ambition of Supplybase is to become a multisided platform, where purchasers, engineers and hobbyists can identify, trade with, and review the many order-producing suppliers of metal, plastic, and 3D printed parts. This is done by improving the process from identification and request for quotation, to purchase and repurchase in an easy and streamlined online experience. Using this platform, the order producing companies can capture and use their own data, gathered during the quotation/purchase/repurchase process, in an easily understandable manner. How do we achieve this? We start by creating a searchable platform. The we build the tools to help both sides of the transaction, to achieve a smooth purchase process. Supplybase is founded by Sebastian Schlicker based on his experiences when dealing with order producing companies within metal and 3D printing, through his work as a Mechanical Development Engineer and Product Manager in the robotics industry in Odense. SEARCHING FOR TECHNICAL CO-FOUNDER – Are you located in Odense? Are you interrested in start-ups? Do you want to help build a scalable company? Do you feel the urge to start your own entrepreneurial journey? Write Sebastian Schlicker today! We accept inquiries from other roles as well. Contact us to hear more.

GRASSROOTS aims to revolutionize donations to charity through a digital platform, with the ultimate goal of creating a global standard for donations. The problem that we are trying to solve is that the feedback is very limited when donating to large charitable organizations today - most often a yearly report of what the entire organizations has been doing for that entire year. With single donations there is often no feedback at all. This means that it's not possible to see where your individual donation went, or if it made any difference. The solutions is a tailor made tool for large charitable organizations that improves communication, transparency, customer engagement and enables more efficient work, where donors will be able to see exactly where their donation went. GRASSROOTS is a non-profit organization.

Ceretai develops AI software and services to help the media and entertainment industries improve diversity and equality in TV programs, movies and other media content. In the Western world we consume up to 10 hours of media every day - news, Netflix, social media, you name it. Through this media we are shown a biased image of the world - for example, only 30% of speaking roles in cinema movies globally are given to women, and only 1% of characters in movies have functional limitations. This of course affects our view of the world, teaching us biases and contributing to an unsustainable world of discrimination and segregation. At the same time, national and international governmental bodies in the media industry are focusing very hard on exactly these issues. Just like in other industries, authorities like the European Broadcasting Union and national public service regulators are looking at the UN sustainability goals and trying to find ways to increased gender equality (goal no. 5) and decreased inequalitites (goal no. 10). Research shows that 80% of movie and TV audiences want to change the state of diversity in media and entertainment. "Newcomers" like Netflix continue to steal audiences with norm-breaking series showing a different picture of the world - one that includes a diversity of stories and people. At Ceretai we have made it our mission to support the media industry in creating more diversity in their content. We have built a SaaS solution, the Diversity Dashboard, that automatically analyses any given media file for gender and age representation, and we continue to develop it to cover more grounds for discrimination. We also provide services for creating awareness and fostering change within European media organisations, for example workshops and reports. The idea that became Ceretai was sparked in late 2017, in the wake of the Me Too campaign, when the founders grew tired of not finding entertainment that matched their values. Realising how unconsciously biased we all are, the company was founded in early 2018 with the idea of building an automated tool for detecting norms and stereotypes in popular culture. Our mission has stayed the same: contributing to a more equal and tolerant world by using technology to create awareness and change.

Vår historie Mikalsen Utvikling ble stiftet av Andrè Mikalsen i 2015. Etter mange år med utvikling av nettsider ble det ofte et tomrom og ønske om å bidra mer når nettsidene var ferdig levert. Spørsmålet som hele tiden dukket opp var om kunden faktisk kunne få enda flere besøkende til siden. Selv om nettsidene så grafisk bra ut, var de optimale for konvertering til salg? Dermed startet ferden inn i markedsføring og de digitale kanalene. Etter mange kurs og sene netter ved siden av full jobb, var det på tide å omsette teori til praksis. Vår første kunde fikk over 30 nye kunder den første måneden, og måtte ansette 2 nye medarbeidere for å håndtere den drastisk økende kundestrømmen. Å levere digital markedsføring med slike enormt positive resultater, er så sterkt for oss at vi aldri kommer til å slutte å skape resultater. Å være med på å endre livene til menneskene bak bedriftene er en ubeskrivelig rørende følelse. I dag har vi et sterkt fokus på å hjelpe små og mellomstore bedrifter, da våre tjenester kan utgjøre en stor forskjell i bedriftens hverdag.
