Pubfront is developing the Audiorista platform to help content publishers solve the challenge of reaching and monetizing audiences through native apps. Our secret sauce lies in a seamless, scalable SaaS solution that simplifies app management and content delivery for audiobooks, mindfulness content, educational courses and more. The problem of digital content distribution, particularly for smaller publishers, involves complex and costly app development, which can hinder their ability to effectively reach and monetize their audiences. This issue affects a wide range of content creators, from independent authors to established educational institutions, who struggle to navigate the technical barriers of app-based content delivery. The Audiorista platform addresses this widespread need by providing an accessible, cost-effective solution. Pubfront's team works consistently to refine the Audiorista platform, ensuring it not only meets but exceeds the needs of today’s digital publishers. Our solution leverages advanced cloud technologies to offer robust, customizable apps that publishers can brand and manage.

Driven by a passion for democratizing content distribution, our team is committed to providing the tools necessary for content creators to reach broader audiences and share more knowledge globally.

EasyTranslate is on a mission to HumanAIse translations and change the way businesses create multilingual content. We’re building a future where AI and humans work hand in hand to make multilingual communication faster, smarter and on-brand. Today’s companies need to create a lot of content across markets, channels and platforms. Doing it in every language usually means choosing between slow and expensive, or fast and low-quality. We don’t think anyone should have to make that choice. So we built a different kind of localisation platform. At EasyTranslate, AI does the heavy lifting, and humans add the magic. Our HumanAI workflow spots exactly where human expertise is needed and loops in the right language specialist only for those segments. The result? Content that is produced more than ten times faster than traditional translation workflows, without losing accuracy, creativity or brand personality. Our tagline says it all: Content in any language, created by AI, enhanced by humans. Whether you’re a scaling SaaS company, a global e-commerce brand or a marketing team juggling too many deadlines, EasyTranslate helps you break the language barrier without breaking your budget. You get speed that competes with pure AI and quality that rivals top-tier human translation, finally bringing together the best of both worlds. We’re here to make multilingual communication feel effortless, exciting and ready for the future. And we’re only just getting started.

Proptly was founded in 2021 by Kristoffer Gjerde, Gunnar Windsand Sem, and Thomas Kristiansen, with a bold vision to transform the often-overlooked, yet critical, part of the climate tech ecosystem: installations. What started as a casual conversation over Christmas drinks about the headaches of managing contractors, quickly turned into a mission to streamline the installation process for climate tech solutions across Europe. We recognized that while there’s no shortage of companies innovating in the climate tech space—producing world-class EV chargers, heat pumps, and solar panels—the bottleneck often lies in getting these technologies deployed quickly and efficiently. That’s where Proptly comes in. We’ve built a B2B marketplace that connects climate tech companies with a network of skilled, vetted installers, making sure that cutting-edge green technologies reach consumers without the typical delays and frustrations. Think of it like Uber for installations: companies get real-time data on installer performance, response times, and customer satisfaction, allowing them to scale their operations with ease. Revolutionizing the Installation Process Our platform tackles a glaring inefficiency in the market—the installation bottleneck—by ensuring that the best installers, backed by proven performance metrics, are always available to deploy climate tech solutions. For climate tech companies, we’re solving a massive headache: ensuring their innovations get installed, not just built. For contractors, we’re providing consistent job opportunities, helping them grow their businesses in a fast-expanding green economy. With $4 million in seed funding, high-profile partnerships including Easee, Sungrow, and Coop, and a stellar team of industry veterans from companies like Kahoot, Oda, McKinsey, EY, Tesla, and Easee, we’re setting the standard for how climate tech installations should be done. Our Vision Proptly aims to become the leading B2B marketplace for order-to-installation processes across Europe and beyond. With climate tech adoption on the rise, we aim to play a crucial role in accelerating the deployment of these technologies, helping the world transition to a greener future more efficiently. We’re not just about getting the job done; we’re about getting it done right—with transparency, speed, and customer satisfaction at the heart of everything we do.

We build our services around them. We believe that you deserve more power from your money.
