GLYON is developing a CO₂-powered textile-to-textile recycling technology to help brands, fiber producers, and recyclers solve the growing textile waste crisis with a breakthrough chemical recycling process that turns waste into virgin-quality raw materials for new fibers—without fossil fuels. We address the massive problem of textile waste, a global crisis where over 92 million tonnes of textile waste are discarded each year—most of it ending up in landfills or incinerated. This contributes to major pollution issues but also forces the textile industry to continue its dependence on virgin fossil-based materials. Our solution targets fiber producers, brands, and recyclers who need circular raw material solutions. Our CO₂-based chemical recycling process breaks down polyester textiles into building blocks and leaves other fibers like cotton intact. Both PET building blocks and cotton can be used to produce new, high-quality fibers without the need for virgin oil and reducing water consumption and CO₂ emissions.

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 We’re building this because we’ve seen how broken and outdated legal timekeeping systems are—and we believe lawyers deserve tools that work as smart and efficiently as they do.

Many people are talking about the smart grid and how we can reach 100% sustainable energy, and avoid global warming getting out of hand, by intelligently balancing the consumption so it fits with the electricity production. At True Energy we're already doing it! True Energy offers a smart charging app to our end users so they can register their car or charger and have it start or stop charging based on the hour of day and the electricity price, so the user optimizes their charging to be cheapest. The service is free of charge for the end user because they participate in our flexibility pool where the power companies can buy offsetting of the consumption if the grid is overloaded or production is expensive. We use Google Workspace, GitLab as code repo, Jira for our agile project management, and Slack for chat. We have a policy of 100% line coverage for unit tests, and want to support continuous delivery. We focus on collaboration and an open, inclusive work environment. Our team is multinational, and the working language is English, so full proficiency is required.. We have team members in several time zones.
