We were founded in February 2018 with the idea that giving plastic a value, we could get it removed from nature. A bit like the bottle deposit system, but for all kinds of plastic! We have gained amazing traction since we started, from being featured in Forbes and The Independent and invited to a panel at the first OECD forum on Blockchain to winning awards and being the only Nordic initiative among the 25 development projects/ SDG solutions selected to be showcased at Expo 2021 Dubai’s Global Best Practice Programme. We have done cleanups and pilots in more than 15 countries, proving that this really does work! Now we are building a global plastic waste ecosystem to incentivize cleanup and track where the plastic ends - most of it ideally back to reuse! The next step is to bring our vision to more places and create a truly innovative system than can help solve some of the big problems with plastic waste (of which there are more than you might imagine).

1. Short description (the pitch) Memorise is building a powerhouse network of senior digital-marketing specialists that helps growth companies turn marketing spend into measurable pipeline — with a client-set price cap, no lock-in, and full ownership of everything we build. 2. The What (the problem) Most companies overpay for marketing that can't prove its worth. Traditional agencies bill for activity, not outcomes: junior-heavy teams, opaque retainers, and reports that count clicks instead of revenue. Clients rarely own their own accounts or data, which quietly locks them in. It affects nearly every SME and scaleup buying marketing — budget leaks into overhead and "the name on the invoice" rather than work that actually moves the business. 3. The How (the solution) Memorise runs as a powerhouse: an in-house strategy function leads every engagement and activates senior specialists from our network — SEO, Google Ads, web, content and AI search — only when the work demands it. Every action is tied to a business goal and reported as leads and pipeline, not impressions. We work to a price cap the client sets (never more; less if we spend less), with no binding period, and the client owns all accounts, data, code and material from day one. And we go all the way to execution, not just the report. 4. The Why (the motivation) We started Memorise because the agency model is built backwards — clients pay for the office, the brand on the invoice and a PDF, while the right senior person is never free when you need them. We'd watched too many businesses pay premium retainers for junior work, then lose access to their own data the moment they wanted to leave. Memorise is the answer: pay for the work that's actually done, prove the result, and let clients keep everything. Marketing that shows up in the business, not just on the invoice.

Cobrief is developing an AI-powered public procurement platform to help businesses across all industries find, evaluate, and win government tenders — replacing manual, time-consuming bid processes with intelligent automation that acts like having an extra colleague on the team. Public procurement represents over 800 billion NOK annually in Norway alone, yet the average government tender receives only around 3–5 bids. In nearly 20% of tenders, only one or zero suppliers submit a bid. The reason: tender data is scattered across closed platforms, the process is complex, and small businesses lack the resources to keep up. Suppliers can't find the opportunities, or give up because the process is too complicated. The result is less competition, worse deals for taxpayers, and lost revenue for businesses that could have won. Cobrief aggregates public tenders from procurement databases across Scandinavia, Finland, and Germany — including Doffin, TED, Udbud, and Hilma — into a single searchable platform. AI-powered matching scores every opportunity against each company's profile, sending relevant alerts via email, Slack, or Teams. When a team decides to bid, an AI writing module drafts proposal responses from a knowledge base of past submissions. Automated price sheet filling pulls from product catalogs, and CV matching identifies the right personnel. A Bid Manager Agent provides autonomous support throughout the entire process — functioning as an AI colleague from evaluation to submission. Teams collaborate in shared workspaces with task boards, deadline calendars, and role-based access. Used by 1,500+ companies, with a free plan to get started. The founders experienced firsthand how broken the public procurement process is for suppliers. Tender data that should be freely and directly accessible by law is in practice locked behind commercial platforms, creating unnecessary barriers to competition. They saw that businesses — especially SMBs — were missing out on opportunities worth billions simply because the system was too opaque and complex. Cobrief was built to fix that: make public tenders accessible, understandable, and winnable for every business. Beyond the product, the team is actively advocating for open procurement data in Norway through anbudsdata.no, pushing for systemic change so that public tender data is truly open — not just in theory, but in practice.

Velocity Insights is building a new class of analytical production systems that generate decision intelligence from a fully traceable evidence base. Most commonly used GenAI approaches generate narratives first and attempt to justify them during the text generation process — often resulting in outputs that are incomplete, difficult to verify, and not fully traceable to underlying evidence. Velocity Insights takes a different approach, structuring the evidence first and deriving every insight from it. This enables organizations to produce analytical outputs that are fully traceable, inspectable, and auditable — transforming how conclusions are validated in high-stakes decision environments. Designed for capital allocation and strategic decision-making, Velocity Insights enables enterprises across finance, life sciences, and technology to generate high-speed decision intelligence without sacrificing traceability or control. By combining data structuring, workflow design, and AI, the system establishes a new standard: analytical outputs that are fully verifiable, transparent, and trusted.
