🚀 Startup Overview Astra is an AI-powered online brand protection platform that automatically detects and removes digital threats such as phishing sites, scam shops, and brand impersonation in real time. It combines continuous internet-scale monitoring, machine learning–driven analysis, and automated enforcement to protect brands at the speed of the internet. ❗ The Problem Brands today face a rapidly growing wave of online impersonation and fraud: - Fake websites and phishing pages steal customer data and trust - Scam stores divert revenue and damage brand reputation - Threats appear at massive scale (thousands of new domains daily) - Traditional solutions are too slow, manual, and expensive Existing approaches—legal disputes, analyst teams, and takedown processes—can take days to months, while attackers operate in minutes. 💡 The Solution Astra solves this by delivering end-to-end automated brand protection: - Continuous monitoring: Tracks domains, subdomains, DNS signals, and web content in real time - AI-powered detection: Identifies likely threats and prioritizes them automatically - Human-in-the-loop control: Users approve actions with one click - Instant enforcement: Enforcements are executed immediately after approval This reduces response time from days or weeks to seconds, preventing damage before it spreads. 🎯 Why Astra Exists Astra was built on a simple insight: “Brand threats move at internet speed—protection must move faster.” The company exists to replace outdated, reactive workflows with a scalable, automated system that: - Protects customer trust before harm occurs - Prevents revenue loss from fraudulent actors - Eliminates manual workload and high operational costs - Gives brands full visibility and control over enforcement

Spuddle is developing a Duolingo-style app for Excel to help young professionals boost their digital confidence and career readiness by turning complex skills into fun, bite-sized learning. Our secret sauce? Gamification, microlearning, and a community-driven approach that makes Excel something you actually want to practice. Across the world, more than a billion people use Excel and yet most have never been taught how to use it properly. For young professionals and recent graduates, this creates a huge barrier: they’re expected to “just know” Excel, but in reality many feel insecure, waste time on manual tasks, or miss out on opportunities because of weak digital skills. This gap affects productivity, confidence, and employability and it’s widespread across industries, especially in early career roles where Excel is a daily tool. We’re building a mobile app that makes learning Excel engaging and accessible, like Duolingo, but for spreadsheets. Instead of long, boring tutorials, users complete short, gamified exercises that fit into their everyday routines. The app adapts to their level, rewards progress, and helps them practice consistently until Excel becomes second nature. Beyond Excel, our vision is to expand into other workplace tools, becoming the go-to microlearning platform for digital skills. Spuddle started as a side project on social media. We shared quick Excel tips on Instagram and TikTok, and within six months had over 200,000 followers. The overwhelming response showed us just how many young professionals struggle with these skills and how much they crave accessible, fun learning. What began as a hobby quickly grew into a mission: to make digital skills education less intimidating and more empowering. We’re building Spuddle because we’ve lived the problem ourselves, and we believe mastering the basics should feel motivating, not overwhelming.

At ReBite, we’re developing a protein bar that makes it easier to choose something truly healthy. Many people are looking for snacks that are simple, natural, and actually good for them. But most protein bars on the market today are highly processed and don’t live up to that. Most current protein bars: - Have long and confusing ingredient lists - Contain artificial sweeteners, additives, and protein isolates - Are high in protein, but offer very little fibre or real food ingredients - Don’t leave people feeling like they’ve eaten something healthy ReBite is different. Our bar is: - Made with whole, natural ingredients - 45% made from upcycled side-streams from the food industry in Copenhagen - Free from sweeteners, preservatives, and other additives - Made without protein isolates—only protein from original raw ingredients - High in fibre (10g) and with only 8g sugar from natural sources ReBite is a cleaner, more honest alternative for people who want a snack that’s better for both their body and the planet.

FUSE is a Danish startup on a mission to reinvent how we consume energy. We combine caffeine and essential vitamins in small, great-tasting powder sticks that can be easily mixed with water anytime, anywhere. The idea behind FUSE came from a real need. As students and young professionals, we constantly found ourselves relying on energy drinks to stay focused and keep going. But the products available were either filled with sugar, came in bulky cans, or simply didn’t feel like something we wanted to put into our bodies. We created FUSE to offer a clean, portable and transparent alternative to traditional energy products. Each stick fits in your pocket and delivers a refreshing, sugar-free boost when mixed with water. No fridge needed, no crash afterward, and no guessing what’s inside. Just clean energy, wherever you are. Our target group is made up of young, active individuals who need focus and energy throughout the day during studies, workouts, events or long shifts at work. We aim to remove the friction of staying energized in a busy everyday life by offering a product that is both practical and trustworthy. At its core, FUSE solves three main problems: traditional energy products are inconvenient to carry, often packed with sugar and additives, and not transparent about their ingredients. We solve this by being light, clean and clear. As we continue to grow, our goal is to build a community of ambitious people who want to perform at their best without compromising on health or convenience.

At Myvox, we move air with MEMS.

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!

Cavai AS was founded in December 2017 with the goal of revolutionizing online advertising. User experiences have largely been neglected on the web, and Cavai saw early on that chatbot technology, which has initially been used in customer service, could be a wonderfully good advertising product. Usually, chatbot technology is used as customer service on its own website, while Cavai's platform is built to be able to use chatbot technology on millions of websites for contextual advertising. The team today consists of 15 people, and the product has been launched in Norway, Finland, Sweden and the UK with 50 paying customers. Customers are very pleased and report that Cavai's technology is having a very good effect on completed advertising campaigns. Cavai will have its first month of positive operating results in October and looks to have sales of around 3 million in 2019. Next year will be a big growth year, where we have budgeted with a turnover of NOK 41 million. This growth has also been discussed by Finansavisen, where as part of Finansavisen's web-TV series "Vext", Cavai filmed his meeting with advertising legend Sir Marting Sorell in London. For more information, see https://finansavisen.no/vext/tech/2019/10/23/7465643/chatbot-company-cavai-2020-blir-the-store-growst>  To finance further growth, we are now running a seed funding round of NOK 9.5 - 15 million. The company is priced at NOK 60 million pre-money. For more information see the investor summary, investor presentation and subscription form attached.
