| Speaksee Venue Accessibility | Speaksee Venue Accessibility was inspired by both parents of CoFounder & CEO Jari being deaf. For them and over 150 million people worldwide social exclusion is a daily reality. The mission of Speaksee is to create full accessibility for the deaf and hard-of-hearing anytime and anywhere. Speaksee Venue Accessibility's CaptionCast isSpeaksee's professional solution for the events and venues industry. Speaksee Venues is currently preparing the launch of the Speaksee CaptionCast: a plug and play AI-powered captioning and translation device which integrates seamlessly into the existing workflow and configuration of venues and events organizers. Visitors scan a QR-code and can immediately read on their smartphones what's being said in their own preferred language. Speaksee Venue Accessibility's profound impact on people's lives is accompanied by strong market traction proven by a revenue which has been ramping, full product reimbursement approvals from Dutch Federal Disability Insurance as well as the UK government, and large organisations purchasing for their employees including PwC, Rabobank, KPN (biggest Dutch telecom company), and the Dutch federal government.The pricing model is a one-off for the hardware combined with a recurring SaaS licence fee for the transcription usage and firmware updates. | $1.1M | Seed | Apr 25, 2024 |  |
| NextKidney | NextKidney develops a portable, physiological, and cost-effective medical device used for hemodialysis treatment. Neokidney, a NextKidney product, allows patients to have dialysis wherever and whenever they want, restoring their autonomy and freedom. The Neokidney is small enough to fit on a nightstand, making it less intrusive in patients'homes and families. There is no need for an additional 25-60 litre fluid system. Because the Neokidney regenerates dialysis fluid using a sorbent cartridge, it only requires 5 liters of fluids in bags. | $4.4M | Product Crowdfunding | Jan 11, 2023 |  |
| Clear | Intelligent, AI-driven programs help you manage a healthy lifestyle.

Clear tells you what to do instead of just providing you with data. The app uses scientific use cases so you don’t have to guess and connectsthe dots between sleep, diet exercise and stress with no separate tracking. | $2M |  |  |  |
