The Pitch We help generate positive societal impact by changing people’s financial behavior. The What According to the UNCTAD (UN Conference on Trade and Development) World Investment Report from 2014, the total annual investments in SDG-relevant sectors in developing countries will need to be between $3.3 trillion and $4.5 trillion in order to meet the SDGs by 2030. Such estimates mean there is an annual financing gap of $2.5 trillion between current funding and what is required. The public sector is already doing a lot but to close this large gap, will require a major investment of resources from many actors, particularly from the private sector. The capital is already there. What’s needed is for that capital to find a home in well-designed, viable projects. In order to move this capital, the private sector will need to take financial action. People have the desire to take action but need help to do so. This is where MakeImpact will play an important role – helping people who want to make a difference through impact investing. The How We believe that there are 3 ways to help change people’s financial behavior in order to create a substantial positive societal impact Through Education: The more you know about making a positive impact, the better suited you are to actually do it. Through Investing: In order to help close the SDG financing gap with the use of private capital, investing your money in sustainable companies that work for a better future is the way forward. Through Tracking of Investments: Tracking your investments and becoming aware of which investments are sustainable or not will make you want to learn more about other companies that have a sustainable agenda and thereby re-educating yourself and potentially making more impact investments. In order to achieve the greatest behavioral change, these 3 will all need to be tied together – allowing people, in the best way possible, to change their financial behavior towards a better societal impact The Why We saw a need to help the non-investors getting started on their impact investing journey using the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a framework. The team currently consists of 17 passionate, innovative and purpose-driven people that help building a solution where the non-investor can use their money to make an impact in the world.

LS CancerDiag has developed DiagMMR®, a unique predictive diagnostic test to detect Lynch syndrome. We provide easily interpretable and highly accurate results even before cancers develop, enabling preventive and personalized care. Unlike current methods requiring tumour tissue, DiagMMR® only needs a very small skin biopsy of healthy tissue to detect LS in patients and in healthy individuals alike. This allows for an early diagnosis, enabling cancer prediction and preventive treatment, while unaffected family members can be relieved from regular follow-up. This gives clinicians a reliable tool to choose the right treatment for their patients, but also to screen healthy relatives even before tumours develop and provide true personalized care for patients and their families. The company was founded as a spin-off from the University of Helsinki in 2013. The validation of DiagMMR® has shown exceptional accuracy for the industry, with a specificity of 100% and sensitivity of 89%. LS CancerDiag has patents in 29 countries across the world, including Europe, the US and China. DiagMMR® is CE-marked as in vitro diagnostic medical device (IVD MD) and the company is currently working on obtaining ISO 13485 certification, which will be followed by the application for FDA approval. Commercialization has started in Finland and the company laboratory serves the home market through two distribution partners. The focus is currently on the European expansion followed by the US market entry. LS CancerDiag is looking for partners to achieve its ambitious goal for DiagMMR® to become the Gold Standard for Lynch syndrome detection at a global level.

We are a spin-off from Aalto University developing neural networks which reads the news as humans and collects economic data and events. We want to give all investors the same advanced quant tools that are currently used only by the large institutions. Why not, since technology is very scalable. Kontoor is reading the business news in real time and collects all economic information, locations, people, products and so forth. There are million of business news each year about tens of thousands of companies, but people hear only about the several few flagship companies. This is not enough for being truly informed decisions. Once we can see what all these thousands of companies are doing or expect of their sales, orders, production etc we are able to understand economy and make better decisions faster. Our target user is a semi-pro investor whom we we want to reach through brokers. The user is a busy professional or entrepreneur with a busy life style. He’s between 20 and 50 years of age, and he thinks that asset managers are too expensive. Besides he likes stock picking as an intellectual challenge. He usually holds 20-30 stocks in an internationally diversified portfolio and makes hundreds of trades per year. Currently he uses mostly Yahoo Finance, but it does not solve his problem. His biggest problem is lack of time and no tools. Moreover, professional terminal with business news is much too expensive. Kontoor will provide him news analytics and explain what has impacted the prices making analysis much easier at very low cost. We are able to breakeven with 1900 users at 10€ per month (a subscription) of which 50% goes to a broker.

Urbanization and worsening transport problems in cities (e.g. air pollution, noise, traffic injuries, congestion, parking shortages, etc) lead to new mobility trends. The increased importance of cycling and micro-mobility is one of them. Our mission is to enhance urban cycling and encourage more users to commute on their bikes. To do so we design, assemble and deliver unique electric bicycles (also called pedelecs) for urban commuters. But we are not just a bicycle manufacturer, we consider ourselves as a company defining urban mobility. We are a young Finnish startup company with 6 team members, who are currently living in 3 different countries. We came up with the concept of our e-bike and started active prototyping in early 2019. We've already built first prototypes, tested key hypotheses and are now on the final stage of product development. Because of an ongoing patenting process, we are still in somewhat "stealth mode".

Kindernay has developed the world's first, light-weight, robust, and reliable substitute to derailleurs. The Kindernay XIV. The story of Kindernay is a story about passion for cycling and new technologies. We ride trail, DH, freeride, enduro, XC, transport, and road bikes. Sometimes we ride hard, sometimes for fun. We’ve won national level races, and we’ve crashed. Sometimes we break stuff: bikes, parts, and legs. Beside, we’re also engineers, and have decades of experience in the development of complex mechanical devices. Our inventions are on the seabed, terra firma, and in space too. And we’ve delved deep, to bring about innovative transmission parts for automotive brands such as Porsche AG, VAG, and BMW, and heavy truck makers, like MAN, Daimler-Benz, Volvo, and Scania. But that’s another story. We are cyclist and we love our bikes… but we also want them to be better. We believe in a world where gear systems are internal; and here we are, having developed the worlds first, light-weight, robust, and reliable, real substitute to derailleurs. The Kindernay XIV.
