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 5 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:
- ChicHub - A mobile app for solo beauty professionals to automate business management, connect with clients, build their brand, and fill schedule gaps for increased income.
- AirWater2All AB- provides on-site water generation from air humidity for rural communities and companies in water-stressed areas, using the lowest energy consumption and a unique subscription model to deliver sustainable, reliable drinking water solutions.
-
Better Dating - A digital assistant that helps dating app users navigate conversations from match to date with personalized, respectful communication, enhancing the online dating experience and promoting better relationships.
- TIMEPLACE.ME / #brave4real - A mobile app that helps users manage and redistribute unused prepaid event tickets, ensuring that events are attended and providing last-minute opportunities for others to enjoy new experiences.
- Sensual institute - Providing transformative education and support for women to fully embrace their sensuality, promoting a joyful, balanced life through personalized, holistic programs that enhance well-being and personal empowerment.
The Nordics program would not have been possible without help, because it truly takes a city to raise a startup.
