We’re creating fighting for a world where everyone can easily access the money they’re entitled to. Everyone pays tax, but not everyone understands tax. The tax system is complicated, old-fashioned and difficult to work with - and this means a lot of people are missing out on the money they are owed. We don’t think it’s fair that people can’t access their own money because it’s stuck in a system that they don’t understand. TaxHelper changes this. We want every person to know what money they are owed in tax and have the ability to claim it back quickly and easily - whether you’re a student, a stay-at-home parent, a pensioner doing part-time work or anyone in between. Through combining software with a no win no fee approach, we have created an accessible way for people to find out what money they’re owed in tax and receive it. No matter your background, you should be able to easily receive money that is rightfully yours. With better understanding of your financial rights, you can maximise the potential of your finances and make better decisions for your future.

Keybird Instruments is developing a lightweight acoustic piano to help piano enthusiasts play with their preferred sound (acoustic) with practicality and price comparable to that of digital pianos. Over 75% of piano players prefer an acoustic sound, yet most play digital because of price, size, and weight. We want to combine the best of both worlds. We can offer an acoustic piano that weighs only 43+ 16 kg, while only occupying half a square meter of valuable living space. It can be transported in normal cars. The first model has a slightly reduced amount of keys (just like many digital keyboards) having all the keys for pop and jazz but also most of the classical music for the first five years in music school. We thus have a strong focus on sound quality, rather than loudness, and we can reach the low price due to automated production in the worlds largest factory. We started this because we needed it for ourselves and saw the need for others. We asked all the piano enthusiasts we could reach and get the interest in our product confirmed. The huge market of acoustic and digital piano (we combine the benefits) is what keeps us on pace to provide an excellent alternative to digital piano's, which often get boring in the long run (We're just sharing our customer insights here ;)

Healper a game-changing booking platform that matches people with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and addiction with the psychologist who fits their needs. Problem: The cumbersome booking of the wrong psychologist In Denmark, mental disorders account for 25% of the disease burden and cost society 55 billion DKK annually with more than 2,000 people receiving therapy from a psychologist every day. Further, too many individuals do not receive timely help as they cannot cope with the draining 5-hour process it takes to find and book a psychologist. At the same time, U.S. experience shows that only 20-40% of people find a psychologist they trust and have 'chemistry' with. This is tragic, as just one bad experience can cause a client to completely drop out of or postpone his/her therapy. The ineffective booking process and the risk of a poor patient-therapist match mean that many people continue to struggle with mental illness who could otherwise be treated. This has major consequences for individuals whose mental illness markedly impairs their quality of life, but also largely affect their family and friends. Furthermore, this is a major problem for society, which is negatively impacted by lost labor and growth and must shoulder the high costs associated with mental illness. Solution: A simple approach to booking the right psychologist Healper is a friendly guide and a booking platform that matches clients with psychologists. We have designed a comfortable, simple, and transparent user journey, that takes the client by the hand and helps him/her through therapy to mental health. Clients fill out a short questionnaire and are then matched with the best results from our database of more than 1,700 psychologists. Here, we find the psychologist who can statistically give the best treatment. Clients are presented with a prioritized list of three psychologists along with the reasons for the match. From this list, clients can choose which psychologist they like best, book a session, and pay. The platform continuously facilitates feedback from clients and their psychologists to improve the processing and precision of the matches.

The two annual TED Conferences invite the world's leading thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes or less.
