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.

ruty

Ruty är en matchningsplattform för hushållsnära tjänster som överbryggar den asymmetriska informationen som kännetecknar tillhandahållandet och konsumeringen av tjänsterna samtidigt som det stärker utövarnas möjligheter att välja rätt uppdrag till rätt pris och enligt gällande regler. Plattformen kommer även möjliggöra för utförare av tjänster att på ett smidigt och tryggt sätt bli egenanställda och sätta upp egen verksamhet. Genom att möjliggöra en direkt matchning mellan köpare och säljare där utövaren får möjlighet att välja sina kunder, sina uppdrag, arbetstider, prissättning och dessutom tillhandahålls en associationsform som innebär att utövarna inte behöver ha några förkunskaper om bolagsadministration eller skatteregler, förbättrar vi marknaden till att bli schysstare och inkluderande.

Skills to the Future

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.

Dry by Design

Vad är bra med regnkläder? Vad är dåligt? Alla har ett förhållande till regn och att bli blöt. Alla har ett behov att kunna hålla sig torr, men man vill att det skall vara smidigt, praktiskt och utseende skall passa in i den miljön man befinner sig i. Jag ser möjligheter att kunna göra det bättre. Att skapa en bättre regnig upplevelse. Det finns många regnplagg på marknaden, för olika tillfällen, tekniska för friluftslivet eller designade för stadslivet. Jag har tagit fram regnkläder som är både stiliga och med praktiska funktioner för stadslivet. Plagg för de tillfällen då det regnar och för de som inte blev av. Genomtänkta lösningar för enkelhet och bekvämlighet. Målet är att göra det lite enklare att välja en mer hållbar livstil även vid sämre väderlek. Parkera bilen, gå eller cykla för din hälsa och miljön. Problemet att man blir blöt är inte att det regnar utan man inte har på sig regnskydd. Regnbyxor tycker man är krångliga att ta på och av sig. I regnplagg blir man varm och svettig och man upplever att det är besvärligt att ta med sig. Det gör att man chansar att man inte blir så blöt eller att regnet håller upp. Många gånger så glömmer man regnplagget hemma och når sitt mål med blöta, kalla byxor. Mina lösningar är så enkla att ta med sig, att du inte ens funderar på att chansa. Och gentemot dagens regnplagg minskar de risken för att du skall bli för varm. De är enkla att ta på och av och de finns där när du behöver dem. Produkterna jag utvecklar är för både när du promenerar eller cyklar allt för att hjälpa dig att hålla dig torr och glad. Jag har utvecklat tre olika plagg och låtit sy upp funktionsprotoyper som jag har verifierat. Varav enbart en modell har jag valt att gå vidare med för tillfället, p.g.a av kostnad och tid. Nyfikenheten i att starta eget har alltid funnits i bakhuvudet på mig. En utmaning där drivkraften är att få arbeta med sina egna visioner och mål.
 Flexibilitet med arbetstider och lokalisering lokalisering med att driva ett eget internet baserat företag ser jag som en väldigt bra fördel. En flytt tillbaka hem till Halmstad och nya förutsättningar gjorde att jag vågade satsa. Jag hade olika produktideér som jag funderade på. Att jag valde just regnplagg var mer en tillfällighet, men ändå inte! Gång- och cykelbanorna i Halmstad ger en bra framkomlighet för cyklister och fotgängare. Det är viktigt för mig att kunna minska min miljöpåverkan. Bilen fick stå - även vid sämre väderlek. Istället blev det med cykel eller till fots fram och tillbaka till olika aktiviter och dagis. På många sätt en skön känsla. Frisk luft, vardagsmotion, minskad miljöpåverkan och mindre kostnad för bränsle till bilen. När det regnar kan det ta emot och kännas lite besvärligt att bege sig ut. Jag möter ofta blöta människor som blivit överraskade av regnet. Jag vill minska detta hinder och göra det mindre besvärligt. Min önskan är att utveckla nya produkter med nära samarbete med användarna för att nå bästa resultat och att hela tiden utmana affärsidén för att skapa möjligheter att bli mer och mer miljövänligare. //Malin

MikalsenUtvikling

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.

Fysionett - Din fysioterapeut på nett

Vi skal gjøre fysioterapi mer tilgjengelig ved å samle online booking for fysioterapitjenester i én landsdekkende plattform. Hovedfokus skal være å tilrettelegge for booking av videokonsultasjon, chat og hjemmebesøk, men også ordinær timebooking. On-demand tjenester kan også være aktuelt. Eksisterende bookingtjenester, og journalsystemene som tilbyr dem, er i dag preget av utdatert UI/UX og tilbudet for sluttbrukere er fragmentert og lite brukervennlig fordi mange terapeuter finner det for kostbart å implementere. Fysionett skal gjøre bookingprosessen enklere, raskere og rimeligere for både klienter og terapeuter. Sluttbrukere vil få et langt bedre tilbud, mens fysioterapeutene på sin side vil nå ut til et landsdekkende marked. Fysionett vil også gjøre det mulig for nyetablerte eller terapeuter som nettopp har fullført utdanning å selge sin kompetanse uten å være tilknyttet en klinikk eller arbeidsgiver. Fysionett skal bli Norges første og største plattform for online fysioterapi hvor fysioterapeuter fra hele landet kan registrere seg, opprette en profil og tilby sine tjenester til kunder over hele landet. Forretningsmodellen bygger på tjenesteformidling i et tosidig marked, ikke veldig ulikt plattformer som Uber, Lyft eller AirBnb og retter seg hovedsakelig mot det private markedet. Den pågående COVID-19 pandemien har fungert som en katalysator for denne ideen. Siden plattformen tilrettelegger for at terapeuter skal nå ut til sine kunder i form av videokonsultasjon og chat. På denne måten får de muligheten til å opprettholde sin virksomhet mens pandemien pågår.

carryon.bike

carryon.bike - Fun without Fuel carryon.bike is developing an AI based online platform to bring the cycling community under one roof. I found that there is no platform where the cycle community can find varied information that is relevant and uptodate and exactly as per their needs and behaviour. At the same time the patience level to comb through websites for relevant information is decreasing. The objective of carryon.bike is to provide and suggest information that is helpful to anyone from the cycling community. There will be many who have started considering cycle for commuting, exercising , or weekend gateways. Even tourists would prefer bike tours. So a global platform to cater to needs of all and encourage more and more adoption of cycling to adhere to the new norms post COVID outbreak and at the same time contribute to a greener planet Example, if a visitor to the portal is looking for renting bikes for touring a city during the weekend and wishes to rent an e-bike for few hours, showing the person a shop that rents mountain bikes and Race Bikes ONLY, would irritate the person. This also gives more exposure to the shops and brands. Another example to explain how we wish to solve problems: When casual office commuters wish to buy a bike, they would feel comfortable getting advise from an expert. Carryon.bike becomes the platform where domain experts would answer to practical questions and guide them to make the right choice in current scenario based on the person’s age or city or road conditions etc. This idea sparked during the corona times when I found friends and family and even celebrities getting anxious to go out of their houses for exercising, sightseeing and some fresh air. The regular office goers who were dependent upon public transport were thinking of walking down to office but felt it was time consuming. The young adventurous population like the high school students or university students wanted to take up cycling tours during weekends and felt they could not find enough bike routes. It was evident that there will be even more needs for cycling and with demands will be a need to get more and more info, or consult people for unexplored or unknown topics. So why not build carryon.bike - the Craigslist of cycling industry.
