IT freelancers have been facing a sales challenge for a while. They are experts and engineers who think that they are not suitable for sales work and they have no time to do it. Thus, they have to rely on bigger consulting companies who take 15-20% cut from the invoices. We have created a systematic sales approach for an IT freelancer that can be applied during 100% of project allocation. It is light and specifically designed for an engineer / an expert so that it does not feel salesy or pushy. This way the freelancers will never end up warming the bench.

AI Rookie helps companies turn AI interest into real capability. Many organizations want their employees to use AI more effectively, but they struggle to move from inspiration to practical adoption. Traditional training is often too generic, too theoretical, and quickly forgotten. Employees need relevant guidance, hands-on support, and someone they can learn from in the context of their actual work. That is the problem we are solving. AI Rookie is a platform where companies can give their employees access to experienced AI mentors who help them build confidence, skills, and real-world AI workflows. Instead of one-off courses, we focus on practical mentoring that makes AI useful in everyday work. We are building AI Rookie because we believe the biggest barrier to AI adoption is not the state of the technology— it is the gap between potential and implementation. Companies need a better way to help their people learn by doing, ask questions, and apply AI responsibly and effectively.

We're builders who love teaching what we do. Vibelabs helps everyone become builders, teaching people with no coding experience how to build software and tools with AI. Nearly 1,000 people have gone through our programs, including teams from Telenor, OBOS, Mesta, and other leading Norwegian organizations. We partner with StartupLab to bring AI skills to corporate innovators and early-stage founders. But we don't just teach, we build. We launch our own ventures, and help founders, operators, and small teams turn ideas into real, scalable products. Combining AI-native workflows, rapid prototyping, and modern product thinking, we move fast without cutting corners. From early MVPs to production-ready platforms, we focus on execution, clarity, and momentum. The barrier to building software just dropped to near zero. Companies that get this will move faster. People who get this will have a massive edge. We're here to make sure as many as possible get there, practically, not theoretically.

ExecuteAI is building a unified AI‑native ecosystem designed to make advanced automation, agent development, and AI‑driven operations accessible to every company—regardless of size, technical maturity, or industry. We believe AI should not be limited to large enterprises with dedicated engineering teams. Instead, it should be a practical, reliable, and affordable tool that any organization can deploy to improve productivity, decision‑making, and customer experience. Our mission is to democratize AI by providing a complete operating system for automation: from outreach and CRM orchestration to agent development, workflow execution, and talent collaboration. At the core of our platform is the ExecuteAI Hub, a login‑based workspace where companies and AI developers meet, collaborate, and deliver real solutions. The Hub functions as a marketplace, a project management environment, and a delivery engine in one. Companies can post AI projects, describe their needs, and connect with qualified AI developers who specialize in automation, agent design, data workflows, and integration engineering. Developers gain a structured environment to showcase their skills, build a portfolio, and deliver high‑quality AI solutions with clear expectations, transparent communication, and standardized processes. We are solving a fundamental problem in the AI industry: fragmentation. Today, companies must navigate a confusing landscape of tools, models, consultants, and platforms. There is no single place where they can reliably define a problem, find the right expertise, and receive a complete, production‑ready AI solution. ExecuteAI eliminates this friction by offering an end‑to‑end ecosystem that covers the entire lifecycle—from idea to deployed agent. Our platform includes tools for outreach automation, CRM orchestration, agent execution, workflow design, and continuous improvement. Everything is built with a strong focus on Nordic values: transparency, trust, quality, and responsible AI governance. For companies, ExecuteAI provides clarity and structure. Instead of hiring expensive consultants or experimenting with disconnected tools, they gain access to a curated talent pool and a standardized delivery framework. For developers, we offer a place to work on meaningful AI projects, collaborate with clients, and build long‑term relationships. For both sides, the Hub ensures that AI development becomes predictable, repeatable, and scalable. ExecuteAI is headquartered in Copenhagen and built on the belief that the future of work will be shaped by human‑AI collaboration. Our goal is to empower organizations to operate faster, smarter, and more efficiently by integrating AI into their daily workflows. Whether a company needs a custom agent, a full automation pipeline, or ongoing AI operations, ExecuteAI provides the tools, talent, and infrastructure to make it happen.

Fronted helps companies recruit, employ, and pay global talent — fast, compliant, and without the usual hassle. Hiring internationally should open doors, not slow companies down. Yet most organisations face the same challenges when they expand across borders: roles stay open for months, local salary structures become unsustainable, compliance feels risky and unclear, and teams are assembled through a maze of vendors, tools, and handoffs. Recruiters focus on candidates. Employer-of-Record providers focus on compliance. Payroll vendors handle payments. Consultants offer advice. Each piece exists in isolation — and no one owns the full system. That’s because global hiring isn’t just a legal problem or a payroll problem. It’s a systems problem. Fronted was built to solve that. Fronted is the Global Talent OS — a single system companies use to build, employ, and run global teams. We bring together everything required to scale internationally into one clear, connected platform, backed by one partner. Our approach combines: Precision recruitment: We help companies hire the right people in the right markets, with a focus on long-term performance rather than short-term placement. Nordic-grade compliant workforce management: Employment structures designed to meet local regulations, reduce risk, and stay reliable as companies grow across borders. Payroll and benefits: Accurate, compliant payroll and locally appropriate benefits, handled in one system and aligned with each country’s requirements. Ongoing team stability: Support that goes beyond hiring to help teams stay engaged, productive, and sustainable over time. All of this is built with a Nordic mindset: clarity over complexity, trust over control, and responsible scaling over quick fixes. Fronted enables companies to move beyond borders without losing speed, control, or confidence — turning global hiring from a fragmented process into a system that simply works.

Millions of research papers are published every year. They contain discoveries that save lives, protect the planet, and inspire technological breakthroughs. But today, scholarly publishing is coming up against some big challenges. Behind every paper is a tangle of mandates, fees, and licenses. And the systems used to manage these things are outdated. It leaves everyone involved up to their necks in confusing admin. As industry outsiders, we have the chance to take a shake things up. By building a user-friendly platform that simplifies this complexity through great design and powerful integrations. So authors, publishers, institutions, and funders can put their full focus on quality research. We’re an international team headquartered in Copenhagen, with a handful of employees working remotely from elsewhere in Europe and the US.

At Tandem, we build the foundations that turn questions into answers. Data systems underneath, software and AI on top, so companies can improve how they work. Built around [ you ]. Intended for [ use ]. We serve organizations whose operations depend on systems that were never designed to talk to each other. For teams who need software built for the way they actually work, not the way a standard product assumes they do. For businesses that want technology to remove friction from the daily job rather than add another tool to manage. This is our focus. We bridge technology and business outcomes. Every solution is customized and crafted with the end user in mind. We combine technical expertise with commercial insight and a methodical approach to each engagement. This means close collaboration and investing time to understand both the challenge and the stakeholders involved. We start underneath, where the data lives. Pipelines, integrations, and models that connect the systems a business already runs on. Then we build on top: web applications, internal tools, and AI that does real work rather than demonstrations. The same principle applies at every layer. Sophisticated technology made practical, complex challenges resolved efficiently. No unnecessary complexity, no technical barriers. Operational tools that people reach for because they make the work easier. We founded Tandem after observing too many organizations struggle to extract value from their technology investments. We had seen how the right foundations, properly built, could transform not just strategies but entire ways of working. How software, when correctly implemented and adopted, could accelerate growth rather than create friction. We recognized the need for a different approach, one that balanced technical sophistication with practical application. That conviction guides our work. We are not here to showcase complexity or deliver generic solutions. We are here to partner with organizations in building the systems, software, and intelligence that move their business forward, creating solutions that are as powerful as they are practical.

GLAZE Technologies turns raw data into “material intelligence.” Across energy, aerospace, and manufacturing, critical components can fail because decision-makers can’t see what’s happening inside their materials until it’s too late. Today they must choose between expensive lab testing or flying blind on the factory floor. We solve that gap with Carmen, our patented, real-time sensor platform that reveals a material’s composition, defects, and degradation at industrial speed and scale. Powered by breakthrough terahertz technology, Carmen spots micro-cracks in wind-turbine blades before they splinter, verifies satellite parts for the European Space Agency, and will soon help any production line certify quality without stopping the line. Why does it matter? Because better material insight means safer infrastructure, fewer recalls, less waste, and a faster transition to a sustainable, high-performance world. We’ve proven the tech in pilots with global consortia; now we’re scaling the business. and looking for bold minds to join the journey.
