The Nordics Founder Institute, the local chapter of the world's largest pre-seed startup accelerator, is proud to announce the newest Alumni from the Nordics Spring 2025 program.
After meticulous selection process and intense four months of aggressive business-building sprints, constant evaluation, and feedback from investors and mentors, just 7 companies were able to make it through.
Each of these Founders have demonstrated a high level of perseverance and creativity, and their businesses have been thoroughly vetted and supported by a panel of Nordics's top startup experts and investors.
And now, without further ado, we present the Alumni of the Nordics program:
- SilaKhai - Providing a cost-effective and scalable solution for businesses and municipalities by extracting thermal energy from organic waste to create renewable heating and cooling, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and sequestering over 100 million metric tons of CO2.
