Componental began with a simple but stubborn curiosity: what happens when musicians are given tools that invite exploration instead of prescribing outcomes? Founded by musicians and technologists, Componental was born out of years spent taking instruments apart, questioning workflows, and searching for better ways to stay connected to the joy of making music. At the heart of Componental is a belief that technology should feel playable, expressive, and a little bit magical. Our work is deeply rooted in electronic music culture, from studios and live stages to DIY scenes and experimental communities, but always with an eye toward the future. Dubby, our first product, grew from this mindset: a versatile music multi-tool designed to remove friction, spark ideas, and encourage happy accidents rather than constrain creativity. We build slowly, thoughtfully, and with intention. Every decision, from hardware design to DSP, from software workflows to community features, is guided by real musicians, real use cases, and real curiosity. Componental isn't about chasing trends or shipping features for the sake of it. It's about creating instruments people can grow with, trust, and return to again and again. As we move forward, our mission stays the same: to design musical tools that feel alive, honest, and deeply inspiring, tools that invite you to explore sound on your own terms. Dubby, our music multi-tool, is a hands-on electronic music instrument that lets you build sounds, perform live, and explore ideas in real time. It bridges the gap between studio experimentation and stage performance, without locking you into presets, genres, or workflows.

Adeu.ai is an AI-powered practice management platform designed specifically for the legal industry. We help law firms eliminate one of the most tedious and error-prone part of their workflow: timekeeping and billing. Lawyers waste countless hours manually tracking their work, trying to remember what they did, for whom, and when. This leads to lost revenue, billing inaccuracies, and lawyer burnout. Traditional tools either require too much manual input or don’t understand the nuance of legal work. Adeu automates this process. Our AI passively captures lawyers’ work activity across tools like email, calendar, and documents, then intelligently translates it into billable entries—customized to the client’s billing preferences. The result is more accurate invoices, increased revenue, and lawyers who can spend more time on actual legal work instead of admin. We’re building this because we’ve seen how broken and outdated legal timekeeping systems are—and we believe lawyers deserve tools that work as smart and efficiently as they do.

Nordic Bio-Graphite aims to transform industries toward a net-zero future by supplying CO2 negative graphite. Graphite is the largest component in EV batteries and a critical material for green steel production. However, traditional production methods emit up to 20 kg of CO2 per kg of graphite and consumes significant energy. Leveraging two patent-pending innovations developed by leading materials scientists at KTH Sweden, we have developed the first solution to produce fossil-free graphite from bio-based materials at scale. This unique process enables us to produce green graphite at a cost close to fossil based graphite, while significantly reducing emissions and boosting energy efficiency. Within four years, NBG aims to prevent over 150,000 tonss of CO2 emissions annually.

Qpaws is a cutting-edge digital platform transforming how dog owners manage and enhance their pets' well-being. Our startup is solving several critical challenges dog owners face, especially in today's fast-paced world where dogs often struggle with insufficient exercise, poor nutrition, and irregular health monitoring. The problem is more urgent than ever, with studies indicating that over 70% of dogs are overweight, leading to a wide range of health issues that affect their quality of life. Qpaws started by focusing on the highly demanding dog sport of mushing, where monitoring dogs' activity and health is crucial. However, we quickly realized that the problems we were solving for mushers—like optimizing training, tracking feeding, and improving overall dog care—are problems all dog owners face. Whether it's the daily walker, the outdoor enthusiast, or the professional trainer, every dog owner wants to provide the best for their furry companions. This realization led us to expand the app's features to appeal to all dog owners, creating a more inclusive platform that anyone can use, regardless of their activity level or how many dogs they care for. We solve a wide range of dog care challenges through smart, intuitive technology. At its core, Qpaws tracks activity, ensuring that dogs get enough exercise to maintain a healthy lifestyle. But it doesn't stop there. We also provide tools for health monitoring—keeping track of vaccinations, vet visits, and other medical needs. On top of that, the app offers personalized nutrition advice, guiding owners on the best diet for their dog based on breed, age, and activity levels. One of the unique aspects of Qpaws is its open approach to hardware integration. Most dog tech platforms are closed ecosystems, requiring expensive, specialized devices that limit their accessibility. Qpaws flips the script by being hardware-agnostic. You can use it with any wearable you choose, or none at all, making it an affordable and scalable solution that meets the needs of dog owners around the world. This accessibility, combined with the app's social networking features, allows dog owners to connect with a global community, sharing tips, experiences, and inspiration, making dog care more enjoyable and rewarding. As the global pet tech industry booms, Qpaws is perfectly positioned to grow rapidly. We already have a solid user base of over 14,000 active members and 32,000 dogs tracked on the platform. But this is just the beginning. Our goal is to transition from a niche product for extreme sports enthusiasts to a widely used app for all dog owners. With 350 million dog owners worldwide, the total addressable market is vast. We're gearing up for international expansion, with a particular focus on the UK and US markets, where pet ownership and interest for pet care are at all-time highs. In summary, Qpaws is not just an app for tracking your dog's walks—it's a comprehensive tool designed to improve every aspect of dog care. From exercise and nutrition to health monitoring and community engagement, Qpaws addresses the key challenges dog owners face today and provides innovative solutions to ensure their dogs live longer, healthier, and happier lives. With our vision, technology, and market potential, Qpaws is poised to lead the digital transformation in the pet care industry globally.

HenryFlow is a platform that makes it possible for SMEs to automate 80% of their business in 60 seconds without any technical skills. We do this through cutting-edge machine learning and NLP technology. Starting and/or running a startup or small business is hard. Software tools are here to help you, but with over 30,000 SaaS systems on the market, how do you make sure you implement the right systems in the right way? Having a great tech stack is a prerequisite for success for these companies, but in the early stages, trying to figure out and implementing their tech is only slowing them down and delaying innovation. This problem does not only occur in the early stages of companies. When companies grow, they naturally need more advanced systems. But how do you implement the right systems and make sure they are integrated with your other systems? Between 49% - 70% of internal software implementations fail or do not deliver the expected value. HenryFlow wants to change this for good and make smooth, value-adding software implementation accessible for everyone. HenryFlow solves this problem in the following ways: 1) Based on information you provide about your company, and our large database of similar companies, Henry suggests the most optimal SaaS tech stack for your specific company. 2) Henry fully integrates all the chosen systems in the backend, so they feel like one. 3) Henry suggests workflow-automations between your systems to automate your work to the fullest 4) You can define any additional workflow-automations through Natural Language. Just tell Henry what you want. :) 5) Henry works in your browser. You can always ask him about your workflows or how to use your systems. 6) Henry collects data points on how you use your systems and suggests specific automations that will reduce your work real time. Our vision is to create freedom and opportunity through Automation and AI. We believe that it is way too hard to succeed as a small business. By putting AI in the hands of these companies, we want to create new opportunities for growth and innovation. Business owners should be spending time innovating on the products and creating great things, not on failed IT implementations and admin tasks! Additionally, most people start businesses to take back control over their own lives. They want to be their own boss and feel independent. Unfortunately, those dreams often do not last long. As their company grows, they get more work. Work that has nothing to do with their passion: accounting, taxes, salaries, stock management, project management, reporting, etc. At HenryFlow, we want to give business owners back their freedom.
