Nordic Makers is an early-stage investor founded by entrepreneurs that have built some of the largest technology companies out of the Nordics (e.g. Zendesk, JustEat, Sitecore, TAT). We know how much grit and luck it takes to build big companies. We are not a fund but we invest our time and our children’s money in crazy, gritty and ambitious founders. We work hands-on with our portfolio companies to share the learnings we had from building our own companies. We hope to contribute to the Nordic ecosystem becoming even stronger in supporting growth companies throughout their journey.

Empowering construction projects ​to make a sustainable impact​, with human centric technology. Building sustainable is difficult. Today, building sustainable involves unstructured, unscalable and time-consuming processes. Drowned in paperwork and documentation, experts waste time on mundane and frustrating tasks instead of exploiting their expertise. Kvist makes the first complete digital system for sustainability reporting for construction projects. By delivering a cloud-based software that makes it really easy for projects to collect, validate and analyse environmental data, we remove friction in the unstructured processes that occur when choosing to build sustainable. Lower costs​. Lower risks​. Greener cities​. With big names among our customers and backed by investors like Alliance Venture, Arkwright X, DNB and Startuplab, we are well on our way to grow full speed. We are a relatively young team of currently 14 people, spread across expertise areas with a mix of engineering, developers, customer success and business development, some coming directly from university and others with a background in the industry. We have a very nice office at a co-working space in the very centre of Oslo, surrounded by both small startups and some established companies, and there is great and low-priced canteen, where we have lunch. We have access to many meeting rooms and facilities when you need silence, but also a great young and dynamic environment, where things are happening all the time. Our culture is fully flexible, meaning that everyone is allowed to work from home when needed, but as a small team we also enjoy working together, and most of us prefer to come to the office. We are a very social team, which easily comes when being small, and we do a lot of activities together like team dinners, Friday bars etc., but it is also fully accepted to skip and go home, when parts of the team decide to go for Karaoke at 1am. We have room for every kind of person, so you decide what you want to join.

At our vintage shop, we are solving the problem of diminishing uniqueness and personal style in today's fast fashion culture. Our goal is to provide individuals with a curated collection of high-quality vintage clothing and accessories, offering an alternative to mass-produced, generic fashion items. Furthermore, our vintage shop promotes sustainability and reduces the environmental impact of the fashion industry. By giving pre-loved garments a second life, we extend their lifecycle and reduce the need for new production. This contributes to a more circular economy, minimizes waste, and helps combat the negative effects of overconsumption.

Admin By Request is revolutionizing the Privileged Access Management (PAM) market which take the bureaucracy and administrative pains out of managing a company's IT portfolio - no matter the size of the company. Usually Privileged Access Management entails a lot of administrative work as well as words like "whitelisted software" - with great frustration among both users and IT-admins. As a user you might actually need a specific piece of software that's not on the whitelist. As an IT-admin you'll probably want to spend your hours doing something else than constantly black- and whitelisting software and rules for different user groups - because as it turns out: one size does not fit all. At Admin By Request, we're convinced that this task can be solved much more efficient by minimizing the amount of rules - and instead letting the users ask for just-in-time access to cover their needs. IT-admins can quickly approve or deny requests - and get back to creating real value. Privileged Access Management is named the top project to reduce cyber security risks. That's where we come in. By creating an easy-to-use solution with a minimum of administration and bureaucracy, we believe we can make PAM accessible to everyone.

The construction and real estate industry causes a huge impact on the climate and loses millions in the absence of flexible ways to track, manage and reuse materials and inventory. In fact, the real estate industry accounts for a third of Swedens’ waste, and a fifth of emissions. We are on a mission to change this by improving the feasibility and profitability of reuse. We are developing Palats: a digital platform that enables circular material management. With Palats, properties are digitized so that material and inventory can be tracked and managed. When it's time to build, Palats displays what already exists and how the management of it affects the economy and climate. As a result, unnecessary waste and purchases can be avoided.

Kort beskrivelse Vi hos Nutriverse arbejder for at udvikle en platform, som vil gøre det muligt for folk at leve et sundere, og derved bedre, liv. Hvilket problematikker forsøger vi at løse? Vi lever længere og længere - men vi bliver ikke ligefrem sundere. Hvad er gevinsten ved at leve længere, hvis det blot er flere af de dårlige leveår vi får? Vi vil tilbyde folk i alle aldre lettilgængelig og forståelig information, til at få det bedste ud af den tid vi har. Fakta om danskernes sundhed fortæller lidt om hvor slemt det står til 51% af danskerne var overvægtige [1] 19% af danskerne er svært overvægtige [2] 58% af danskerne bevæger sig ikke nok [2] Danskernes mentale sundhed er styrtdykket [2] 5% af danskerne har diabetes [3] 10% af danskerne tager kolesterolsænkende medicin [4] Hver dansker spiser 6,6 kg slik om året [5] Mht til overvægt så vurderer Kræftens Bekæmpelse at andelen af overvægtige danskere vil være 66% hvis udviklingen fortsætter og andelen af svært overvægtige vil være 29% i 2045 [6] Hvordan kan vi løse problemet Forebyggelse er et af de vigtigste værktøjer til at vi kan forblive sunde og raske. Mange mennesker er i bund og grund sundhedsbevidste, eller har en ambition om at være det, men har ikke tiden eller værktøjerne til at træffe de rigtige valg, når det kommer til deres sundhed. Internettet flyder over med forskellige sundheds-tips og råd, som kan være svære at navigere i, og hvad er egentlig sandt? Nutriverse er et sundhedsunivers hvor folk kan få indsigt i deres egen sundhed, og få værktøjer til at optimere deres sundhed, gennem evidensbaseret information. Hvorfor ønsker vi at løse dette problem Ingen ønsker sig flere leveår hvis det betyder at man ikke har helbredet, energien eller fysikken til at leve livet. Vi har i Danmark ikke tradition for at tænke meget på forebyggelse, når vi taler om sundhed. Alt for ofte lægger fokusset på symptombehandling. Derfor vil vi gerne være med til at løfte opgaven, således at vi alle kan have helbredet med os - så længe som det er muligt. ENGLISH VERSION We, at Nutriverse, aim at developing a platform that'll provide the tools for people, to improve their own health - and thereby life. What problems are we trying to solve? We live longer and longer lives, but we aren’t exactly getting healthier. What's the point of living a longer life, if the years received are filled with hardship and disease? We want to offer people of all ages, understandable and accessible information, to get the best out of the time we are given. Prevention is one of the strongest tools we’ve got, in order to stay healthy as long as possible. Many people are essentially health conscious - or at least have an ambition to be - but don’t have the knowledge or time to make the right choices about their personal health. The internet is flooded with different health advice, which can be hard to navigate through - and what is actually true? Nutriverse is a health-universe that provides people with evidence-based information that can be used to optimize their own health. Nobody wants more years added to their life, if you don’t have the energy, health or ability to live life. We aren’t too concerned with disease prevention in Denmark, way too often the focus is on symptomatic treatment. That’s what we want to change, so that everyone can get the chance to live a long and healthy life.
