Imagine living half your life undiagnosed and untreated for a mental health condition. That’s the reality for up to 75% of women with ADHD. Most ADHD research has primarily focused on young males, whose symptoms often present differently from those in females. This massive knowledge gap—combined with outdated gender norms, stigma, and the tendency to blame hormones—leaves countless women overlooked and underserved by the healthcare system. With research and society only now catching up, how do more women find the help, treatment and community they need? This is Letterlife, a comprehensive, female-focused ADHD support system bridging this critical gap in healthcare. With 25 years of clinical ADHD experience, Dr. Lotta Borg Skoglund co-founded Letterlife to help women feel confident they're being taken seriously in their journey through diagnosis and treatment. Over 31.000 users have already joined the app, which offers direct access to medical experts and coaches, key insights into female ADHD, and a supportive community of women navigating the same challenges. Keep the good news coming Lotta Borg Skoglund, Gustav Lilja, & Håkan Bruce! Have an idea to improve people’s lives? We're all here for it. Become a member at https://lnkd.in/d6Hgvc4M

AI–BOB secures €2M! 🎉 After years of noticing projects drown in costly mistakes (and billions of kronor go to waste) Elin Mårtensson set out to build an AI-driven solution that catches construction errors right on the blueprint. A vision of no more patching holes after the walls are up, no more expensive rework, and no more waste. In just over a year, Norrsken Accelerator portfolio company AI–BOB went from a spark of frustration to a full-blown AI-driven solution, securing €2 million in new funding (led by CapitalT) and hitting a valuation north of €10 million. The secret sauce? AI-Agents that catch the mistakes before they become expensively real. No more wasted resources, no more guesswork, and certainly no more “we’ll fix it in the field”. They’re not just saving time and money, they’re cutting needless carbon footprints, too—because if we can build smarter, more sustainable, why on earth wouldn’t we? The AI–BOB team is growing as it kick down the door of an industry notorious for waste. Care to build a greener, smarter future with them?

Holy cow!! Agteria Biotech just raised €6 million! Methane is responsible for nearly 30% of the global warming we’re seeing today—and cow burps play a surprisingly big role. Cattle alone account for about 5% of total greenhouse gas emissions (no bullsh*t). And since methane is 28 times more potent than CO₂, a single “burp” carries an outsized global punch. That’s where Norrsken Launcher portfolio company Agteria Biotech steps in. Co-founded by Martin Blomberg, Maia Lidbeck, and Dr. Tommi Remonen, the Swedish startup has developed a feed supplement carrying the potential to reduce 1% of the world’s greenhouse gases already by 2035. “Methane levels in the atmosphere have never been higher. In 2024, global temperatures surpassed 1.5 degrees for the first time, and reducing methane is the most impactful short-term action we can take to combat warming. Together with our new investors—combining deep-tech experience and strong market knowledge—we are ready to accelerate this critical work.” Martin Blomberg, Co-Founder & CEO The new funding will help Agteria race toward regulatory approval, ramp up production, and execute commercial rollouts across beef, dairy, and animal feed markets. Congrats and keep the good news coming Martin, Maia, Tommi, and team Agteria Biotech! 🐄

Chris Anderson knows a thing about ideas worth spreading. While the chronically online parts of us are getting fueled up on division, hateful rhetoric, and greed before we’ve even had our morning coffee, head of TED Conferences Chris Anderson wants to spark a conversation about **infectious generosity**—a simple yet powerful concept that can transform not just our businesses, but our entire lives. Catch more ideas worth spreading at Impact/Week 2025! Ticket applications are now open at norrsken.org/impactweek Link to the full video of Chris Anderson and Niklas Adalberth in the comments!

Last week we hosted Per Schlingmann at Norrsken House Stockholm for a powerful discussion on how communication and storytelling shape our future. From historical narratives to Europe’s dynamic tech scene, we explored shifting stories and political landscapes. Per urged Europe, especially the Nordics, to lead with a hope-driven narrative, where sustainable progress can match the otherwise threat-heavy and security-driven communication that currently holds our attention. Thanks to everyone who joined and made it matter! Special thanks to Volante, bringing thought leaders to our Nordic community. Time to craft stories that build thriving, sustainable societies. “If you want to see hope, you can see hope”. Missed the event? Read our close-up summary here: https://lnkd.in/dYJ7YgTp

Science, tech for good, policymakers, enterprises, and venture capital don’t always unite to break new ground. But when they do… Norrsken Launcher portfolio company Blykalla’s breakthrough clean energy solution (small modular reactors) is taking shape as Swedish Minister for Energy, Business & Industry, Ebba Busch and Blykalla CEO Jacob Stedman, digs in at Oskarshamn on a new electric test reactor. With OKG , Uniper, ABB, and KTH Royal Institute of Technology on board, Blykalla is rewriting Swedish nuclear innovation with the best, and a bold new energy narrative is on its way. We’re proud to have invested in a team that’s unapologetically disruptive as it builds the future. Keep the milestones coming, Blykalla!
