Full house at Demo Day for Batch 5

This time, KTH Innovation brought Demo Day to KTH for the first time. In 45 intensive minutes over lunch, nine KTH startups pitched to the audience at KTH Entré. In the evening, it was time for episode two, when KTH Innovation, together with SSE Business Lab and Karolinska Innovations jointly welcomed our networks to Salongen at KTH Library.  

A year of acceleration

The KTH Innovation pre-incubator program is a yearlong program for early-stage, tech-based projects from KTH looking to speed up their development. In the past five years, 130 startups have been accepted into the program, where a structured process, a strong community, and increased focus contributes to fast development. This time, it was Batch 5 that took center stage after a year of workshops, personalized business coaching and hard work.

Safekeeping

First up on stage was Safekeeping. After realizing the inefficiency of the storage market, the team decided to create the world’s first sharing economy for storage by connecting people who have extra space with people who have too many belongings.

Vuma

Getting access to the right birth control for you is an unnecessarily tedious process. It’s not uncommon for the process to involve multiple trips to the doctor, and getting answers to all your questions can be very hard. Vuma is a platform that provides contraception counselling and prescription - simplifying the process by increasing the access, quality and safety of birth control care.

Innobrain

Did you ever stop to think that most things around you are designed in some shape or form? Innobrain measures brain signals using EEG combined with eye tracking techniques and machine learning algorithm to measures the UX of companies’ products on target groups to help them succeed on the market. 

Inicio

The team behind Inicio brought along both 3D printer and bubble nodes. Together, they run Kista Mentorspace, aiming to enhance digital skills and literacy so that everyone can participate in and contribute to creating smart and sustainable societies.

Eatit

Theresia Silander Hagström presented Eatit, the digital dietician. Eatit combines the food your body needs, with the food you want to eat. Leave a blood test at your local care center, connect your health applications and take a test to identify their taste profile. The Eatit AI-system analyses the data and gives health recommendations and individualized food recipes.

HiMatEngineering

With 40 years of combined experience, it’s safe to say that the team behind HiMat Engineering knows what they’re talking about. Based on KTH research on materials science, they’re now launching their first service: HEDDA^TM, software tools for efficient analysis of metallic materials, focusing on steels.

Globuzzer

Next up on stage was Globuzzer, your friend in a foreign city. They provide trustworthy guidance for newly arrived travelers to a city, using a specially designed platform that allow smooth interaction between users, and easy access for locals and travelers’ feedback, experiences and events.

Consecio

How come we still use business cards, when so much else in society is already digitalized? Maybe it’s because no other solution has yet been good enough to take over. David Broman presented his team’s solution: Consecio, an app that allows users to instantly share contact information, tag it, and keep it organized in your own personal phone book.

Asqill

When Filip Hildebrandt started studying at KTH he was struck by how much free time he had (no, we don’t get it either), but when he started looking for a job on the side of his studies, he realized how inefficient the system was. Together with a team of other KTH students, he started Asqill, to help companies connect with students, by letting companies advertise projects directly to their database of talented students.

Good luck! 

Now, we're looking forward to seeing what these exciting KTH startups will get up to next. Just remember where you saw them first! #itallstartshere
