Blok

Blok is a digital real estate agency for residential properties. Simply put, we help people buy and sell apartments. Why? Real estate transactions are notorious for being the largest and most stressful financial decisions we take during our lives. There are a lot of questions, uncertainty and the process has traditionally been opaque and costly. Our goal at Blok is to fix that by providing a transparent and cost-efficient service, where the customer feels that she’s in control. At the core, we’re a technology company, since we recognize that winning in this market requires us to augment the best real estate agents with the best technology. Our digital services enable us to give our customers a modern customer experience and provides massive operational efficiencies for our real estate agents, which saves time and money, both for us and our customers. Founded in 2017, the company has grown rapidly with apartments sold for the combined value of over 500 MEUR to date and employs over 32 people in Finland and Sweden. We’re backed by prominent Nordic and Swiss investors and our financial situation is solid. The Story Blok's story started from our own experiences in the real estate market. In January 2015 our CEO Rudi Skogman found his dream apartment. To afford it he had to sell his old flat. After some price negotiations the apartment was sold and the real estate agent cashed in a 7000 € commission. Afterwards Rudi started thinking if using an agent had been right choice after all. There had to be a better (and cheaper) way to sell apartments. In the spring of 2016 Rudi got the idea of using technology to automate most of the selling process. Soon after that Juha, Samu and Olli joined. Things started to fall in place: What if we would let the owner arrange viewings? What if bids could be made online? What if the home valuation would be done by an algorithm? What if the transaction cost was a bit more reasonable? After taking a leap of faith and founding Blok the service was officially launched in the spring of 2017. Since then the company has served thousands of home sellers and buyers across Finland and Sweden. The company has won recognition as one of the hottest startups in Europe (Wired) and as the best new web service of the year (Grand One). The Service Our apartment sales service provides an easy and seamless digital experience for selling and buying an apartment throughout the whole home buying and selling process: - The valuation service estimates the value of your apartment based on advanced algorithms and actual transactions. - The trading platform enables bidding for apartments electronically. - The agent service automates nearly all routine tasks of the real estate agent, making the whole process extremely cost-efficient. Our Etsivä service offers an unique way to buyers to find their dream apartment. The service looks for a suitable apartment among all existing apartments in the Helsinki Capital Region and can tell you how many actually exist, how many are sold per year and for what price. You can ask us to contact the owners of those apartments to check if they are interested in buying. Our digital services matched with our stellar customer service team has resulted in a world-class customer happiness which has steadily measured in the 80-90 range on the NPS scale.

Sseguku

Sseguku has created a platform that can connect Danish lenders with small businesses in Uganda to create financial inclusion for these companies with the use of cloud-based technologies and mobile money. What: The vast majority of small businesses in Uganda do not have the opportunity to borrow from the bank for the establishment and operation of their business. Therefore, the opportunities for development and employment that are necessary to create good living conditions in the country are not created. Microloans are a proven method to remedy this problem. There are others than Sseguku that provide microloans in Uganda, but the need is far greater than the supply. In Denmark, there are opportunities to make contributions to aid organizations and also opportunities to invest sustainably through investment associations, but no other options than Sseguku to provide loans to specific companies and with the opportunity for returns to the lender. Sseguku solves the challenges both in Uganda and in Denmark by establishing a peer-to-peer lending platform where Danish lenders can help finance loans to specific companies identified and assessed by Sseguku's subsidiary in Uganda. The subsidiary in Uganda also helps to manage the repayments from the borrowers and with debt recovery. There are no other companies in Denmark with the same offer for Danish lenders. Sseguku has permission from the Danish FSA in accordance with the Payments Act, §51. How? Sseguku is established, registered and has the necessary permits in both Denmark and Uganda. In Uganda, Sseguku is represented by its Ugandan subsidiary. Sseguku has developed an integrated platform based on cloud technology that includes both the website that lenders use for lending and for information and the management solution used by Sseguku's subsidiary in Uganda to set up loans and manage repayments. The administration solution integrates with the mobile companies' mobile money platforms and with Sseguku's bank accounts. Sseguku has established a financial infrastructure that enables transfers between bank accounts in Denmark and in Uganda, and transfers in Uganda between the bank and the borrowers' mobile money. Sseguku created a network in Uganda in collaboration with an accountant, a lawyer and a number of actors in microfinance and aid organizations. Among other things, Sseguku, in collaboration with DanChurchAid (DCA), has investigated the possibilities of utilizing Sseguku's platform in connection with offering microloans to refugees in camps run by DCA. Why? The two founders: Kiyingi Yekosofaati and Hans Henrik Hammerum have a long-standing friendship that stretches back to the end of the last century. They have both, though in different ways, been deeply involved in microfinance and in developing countries in Africa. Kiyingi through employment in different microfinance institutions in Uganda and Hans Henrik through extensive investments in microloans through a previously similar platform, MyC4, which has existed in Denmark until 2014. Both have also been involved in development activities run by NGOs. Both are driven by a strong will to create financial inclusion and opportunities for low-income groups in Uganda and elsewhere it has value. When circumstances made it possible at the beginning of 2017, the interest gained concrete content and Sseguku was registered first in Denmark and then in Uganda. The most important activity since then has been to obtain permission from the Danish FSA to operate the website aimed at Danish lenders. The first loans were given in November 2018 with funds from the founders and their network and the organization in Uganda has provided loans since with the funds that have been available. The platform is not yet immediately ready to receive contributions from lenders, as some development activities are still pending. We anticipate that the launch and marketing of the platform may begin in early 2021.

KROM Kendama

KROM Kendama was born to fulfill the vision of producing the highest quality of kendamas in the world while keeping it funky and relatable, striving to make kendama the biggest secondary sport in the world. Since the beginning of the company, we’ve worked on spreading kendama on a global scale. The rise and growth of the kendama community has allowed KROM to spread, and the team to travel the entire world. In 2010 KROM was founded by 2014 freestyle kendama world champion Thorkild May in hopes of igniting the kendama love wherever possible. Since then we’ve worked hard to develop the kendama culture worldwide from the KROM HQ & Shop in Copenhagen. From the KROM Shop, we host a weekly kendama club and work to support similar initiatives like kendama clubs in Colorado and Latvia. We also sponsor a large number of events every year with prizes and pro players and host events ourselves, like the 2019 European Kendama Championships. As kendama was developing across the world, KROM naturally grew with it and the ideas of creating our own kendamas and becoming more involved in the community couldn’t be kept down. In the latter half of 2012 KROM Kendama went from mainly being a crew of homies playing and distributing kendamas to starting the learning process of creating the best possible kendamas out there. Leading up DAMAFEST 2013, the North American kendama championships, KROM started to pick up steam with the recognition of the clean dama designs and crazy tricks. Thorkild May and teammate Mathias Rasmussen ended up winning the American Freestyle Championships, laying down what has become a staple of the KROM image: the signature Danish flow and the recognizably funky kendamas. Since then KROM has developed and grown even further, we’re constantly striving to represent the kendama community in the best way possible, and of course to provide the best possible products to all the supporters in across the globe. With every new kendama, we’re determined to improve both the playability and the design. For these purposes and more, we’ve gathered the most winning team in the world, composed of internationally acclaimed players with several World and European championship titles, as well as a lot of homies to help us reach our goals. We’re grateful to be able to take kendama to new heights through our work and we look forward to seeing where kendama takes us next. We’ll keep working to bring the joy of kendama to new people every single day. Kendama is unique in its ability to improve your cognitive functions and your hand-eye coordination while connecting people everywhere, even across language barriers, making us able to communicate all over the world. Kendama provides something real and tangible in a time where things are becoming more abstract than ever before. We love the toy that lets us step away from an increasingly digital world, allowing us to refresh and reconnect with the people around us. We hope that you can feel our passion and affection through the products we create. All the best, The KROM fam
