Nance Dance

NANCE DANCE is a dance community for women where fun, health, dance and friendships come together in the most empowering and sassy way. We create dance classes and experiences where women of all levels, ages, shapes and nationalities can learn to dance, build confidence, meet new friends and simply feel good. Because for us, dance is so much more than learning the steps. It’s your little break from everyday life, your workout, your confidence boost, your chance to express yourself — and the place where you meet your new besties. Sooo many women would LOVE to dance… but something is stopping them. “I’m too old to start.” “I’ve never danced before.” “I’m going to look silly.” “Everyone else will be better than me.” Or maybe they simply haven’t found a dance space where they feel like they belong. At the same time, adult life can get a little too serious. 🙈 Between work, studies, relationships and responsibilities, we sometimes forget to make space for things that are simply FUN — things that make us move, laugh, meet people and feel like ourselves again. That is the little gap NANCE DANCE wants to fill. We want dance to be something you can have in your life whether you dream of performing on a stage or you just want one hour every week where you can forget everything else, put on Beyoncé and feel fabulous. 💅🏼 And for the dancers who suddenly think, “Okayyy… I want MORE 👀,” we create opportunities to take the next step through projects and programs such as our Girly Girls Show Team, where dancers can perform, create video content and challenge themselves further. We’ve even organised a flash mob together with Jason Derulo — exactly the kind of “wait… is this actually my life?!” experience we want our dancers to have. 🥹 Beyond weekly classes, NANCE DANCE also creates workshops, private classes, bachelorette experiences, company events and special dance projects. The dream is to create a whole little NANCE DANCE universe around movement, confidence, friendships and experiences — where women can come exactly as they are and leave feeling just a little more fabulous.

Cleenki

Cleenki is building an AI-native marketplace for home cleaning to help busy households in Sweden book trusted, recurring cleaning in seconds, while giving independent cleaners fair pay and the tools to build a stable business. Our secret sauce: by treating cleaners well and letting them work for themselves, we turn motivated cleaners into loyal, long-term customer relationships that traditional agencies cannot match. The cleaning industry is built on a broken chain. Traditional cleaning companies pay low wages and treat cleaners poorly, which kills motivation. Unmotivated, underpaid cleaners churn constantly, which makes it hard for customers to find a reliable local cleaner and build a long-term relationship. The result is a poor customer experience across the entire industry: no-shows, inconsistent quality, and constant turnover on both sides of a market that should be built on trust and recurring stability. This affects almost every busy household in Sweden. With RUT making professional cleaning affordable for a large share of the population, demand is huge, yet the experience for both customers and the people doing the actual work has barely improved in decades. Cleenki is a marketplace that matches households with vetted independent cleaners and turns one-off jobs into recurring relationships. Customers book in minutes, pay securely by card, and keep the same cleaner over time. Our edge is the cleaners themselves. On Cleenki, cleaners work for themselves or run small cleaning businesses, so they genuinely care about their customers and do the little extra every single time. We are deeply focused on cleaner wellbeing, because we know that motivated, fairly treated cleaners are what create happy, loyal customers. We take a cut of each booking, and over time we are building the operating system underneath the marketplace: automated scheduling, payments, subscriptions, and the daily operations a cleaning business needs to run, so any cleaner or small company can eventually run their entire business on Cleenki. We are live and growing steadily, with over 100 paying recurring customers and 10 to 25 one-off bookings per month. The cleaning industry is outdated. Customers demand convenience, cleaners demand fairness, and sustainability matters more than ever. Cleenki delivers all three at exactly the right moment. We start in Stockholm, then expand across Sweden, the Nordics, and beyond. Before Cleenki, I started a traditional cleaning company (Cleanest Sweden AB). That is where I really got to know the industry from the inside. I interviewed and worked with dozens of cleaners, and over and over I heard the same two patterns. The first was unfair treatment: low pay, stressful schedules, and managers who simply did not care about them as people. The second was a dream. Almost every cleaner I spoke to wanted the same thing: to work for themselves, on their own terms. That is what fired the spark. I realized the cleaning industry is broken in a way that hurts everyone at once. Cleaners carry the whole business on their backs but are treated as disposable, and customers suffer the consequences through constant turnover and unreliable service. Cleenki is my way of fixing both sides at the same time: giving cleaners the independence, fair pay, and recurring income they dream of, and giving households cleaners who actually care. This is not just a booking app to me. It is a mission to give an overlooked workforce ownership over their working lives.

AnankeLabs

AnankeLabs is developing KAIROS Substrate, a real-time deterministic safety engine, to help organizations operating AI, cybersecurity, and autonomous systems solve structural exposure to novel, zero-day threats with a proactive physics engine that mathematically calculates exact breaking points before execution. We are tackling the fundamental failure of reactive, probabilistic defenses. Today, AI, cybersecurity, and robotics rely on known historical data—like threat signatures or mapped environments—to predict safety. This creates a permanent, widespread synchronization lag across modern infrastructure, leaving systems structurally exposed to novel, zero-day catastrophes and unpredictable "distribution shifts." This problem deeply affects operators across multiple high-stakes domains: AI Safety: Operators rely on post-generation statistical classifiers, forcing them to anticipate every adversarial path. This leaves systems highly exposed between vulnerability discovery and classifier updates. Cybersecurity: Current defenses depend on pattern-matching that requires a known signature. This creates a dangerous reality where defenders are forced to absorb the initial zero-day breach just to extract the signature needed to stop future attacks. Robotics: Systems use neural policies optimized for statistical averages. When encountering novel environments, they lack a physical safety substrate, resulting in hardware executing a "software hallucination at full mechanical torque" and causing kinetic collisions. AnankeLabs is creating an entirely new category of safety by shifting away from guessing if an action is safe based on past data, and moving toward a deterministic engine built on first principles. We built KAIROS Substrate, a real-time safety physics engine that acts as an automatic brake. Instead of relying on pattern-matching, it evaluates actions before execution, instantly detecting and blocking structurally unsound actions across AI, cyber, and robotics by calculating exact mathematical breaking points. Crucially, we made auditability a structural property of the engine itself. Because KAIROS is perfectly deterministic (identical inputs produce identical outputs at ε=10⁻⁶), it automatically generates an immutable, byte-identically replayable trace of every gate decision as a side effect. This eliminates subjective incident reporting and natively satisfies strict regulatory regimes like the EU AI Act, Machinery Regulation 2023/1230, DORA, and NIS2. The spark that fired our mission was the realization that relying on statistics to secure critical infrastructure is a dead-end. Watching security teams permanently synchronize their defenses to yesterday's attack surface highlighted an unacceptable structural flaw in modern technology. We saw the same unacceptable risks in autonomous systems, where a simple distribution shift could cause heavy machinery to hallucinate and collide with its environment. We realized that true safety couldn't be bolted on as an afterthought or solved with better guesswork; it had to be deterministic and mathematical. We set out to build AnankeLabs because organizations deserve a proactive safeguard that prevents failures from unseen threats from the ground up, rather than just mitigating the damage after the fact.

Outdoor Voyage

Outdoor Voyage is a platform that helps travelers discover, customize, and book adventure travel with fully verified local operators around the world. Instead of choosing rigid, pre-packaged tours, travelers can connect directly with trusted local guides, collaborate with friends, and design trips that match their interests, budget, and schedule. Outdoor Voyage was created by the team behind the award-winning adventure magazine Outdoor Journal, a group of journalists and explorers who spent years traveling the world documenting unique outdoor experiences and the people who make them possible. Through their work, they discovered that many of the best local adventure operators were difficult for travelers to find online, while travelers themselves struggled with fragmented trip planning across multiple platforms, emails, and booking systems. Outdoor Voyage was built to solve this problem. The platform brings inspiration, communication, customization, and booking into one place. Travelers can discover unique experiences, create a shared “Voyage” to organize their trip ideas, invite friends to plan together, chat directly with verified operators, customize the experience, and book with confidence. By connecting travelers directly with trusted local experts, Outdoor Voyage makes it easier to plan meaningful adventures while supporting local operators and guides who deliver authentic experiences on the ground. Our mission is to make adventure travel more accessible, collaborative, and personalized for explorers everywhere.

Clubmate

Clubmate is a sales and fundraising platform built for sports clubs. Clubs rely on volunteers, spreadsheets, and scattered tools to run lotteries, sell tickets, collect payments, and manage supporters which creating unnecessary admin and lost revenue. We solve this by bringing digital lotteries, ticketing, fundraising, CRM, discount booklets, and kiosk/merch sales into one simple platform. The result: clubs sell more, spend less time on administration, and get clearer control of cash flow.

Commu

We are building Commu, a platform that helps cities strengthen community, reduce loneliness, and improve wellbeing through everyday acts of help between people. Across Europe, municipalities are facing the same problem: Loneliness is increasing (especially among elderly, newcomers and vulnerable groups). Preventive wellbeing work is underfunded and fragmented and cities struggle to activate citizens in a scalable, measurable way. At the same time, there are thousands of people who want to help but no simple structure to connect them with real needs. Commu solves this gap. We enable municipalities to activate residents, organizations and volunteers into one shared digital community, where people can easily ask for help, offer help, and participate in meaningful local actions. Cities get visibility, data and impact. People get connection, purpose and a sense of belonging. Cities need modern tools to support participation, not just services We already work with municipalities internationally, and now we are building Sweden from scratch. This is not about maintaining a system it’s about creating a new way for cities and people to work together.

Parlia

Parlia AI is reimagining how Government Relations (GR) teams produce policy-facing documents. Today, these teams spend countless hours drafting structured, templated content — ministerial letters, submissions, talking points, and briefing notes. Our goal is to build a purpose-built AI platform that learns from an organisation’s historical materials to generate high-quality, on-brand, and policy-aligned outputs, freeing professionals to focus on strategy rather than manual drafting.

Aigéry Mounting AS

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.

Lumion

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.
