We commit to early-stage founders with roots in the Nordics and Baltics. Those we back are in. We believe in them fully, fight for them fiercely, and build lasting trust that goes both ways. We back the few—because they’re the ones who can build futures others can’t imagine and improve life for the many. Read more at inventure.vc

Lower project costs, reduced CO₂ emissions, and more efficient construction - without adding complexity.

At Yobr, we see collaboration between students and companies as a way to bring fresh perspectives and the latest skills to real-world challenges. Companies gain flexible, efficient ways to complete meaningful projects that create real value while discovering new talent. For students, it’s an opportunity to apply their skills, learn, and grow in a professional setting. The problem is that most companies struggle to tap into this potential—they don’t have the time, resources, or know-how to make it work. Yobr is changing that. We’re building a platform that leverages AI to simplify project planning, efficiently match yobs with the right students from our talent base, and support execution with intuitive collaboration tools and tailored AI agents. Since starting in January we have done pilots with known brands like SalMar, SpareBank 1 and Norbit, gaining key insight on how students projects should be run. We've developed our technical solution since August, and are looking to launch a beta of our platform in January 2025. We just closed a Angel round and received Innovation Norway's phase 2 grant, targeting break-even and a seed round in Q2 2025. We are a solid team of builders and creators, 3 being full-time and 3 part-time, based in Oslo and Trondheim. Now we are looking to take this to the next level!

The Novo Nordisk Foundation Quantum Computing Programme (NQCP) is a cutting-edge mission-driven quantum programme in Copenhagen, Denmark. The long-term mission of the programme is to develop fault-tolerant quantum computing hardware and quantum algorithms that solve life-science-relevant chemical and biological problems. Our programme encompasses research and innovations at multiple levels - from developing scalable quantum processor technologies to solutions for the quantum-classical control and readout interface, and all the way to quantum algorithms and applications. We are located in central Copenhagen at the legendary Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen. Our work to develop the future of quantum computing takes place in the very same buildings that housed the formulation of Quantum Mechanics 100 years ago.
