Konfir securely removes the administrative burden companies face when completing employment and income verifications. In a GDPR-compliant way, we streamline the approval process by providing instant verifications and tools for your team. Our aim is to accelerate all corners of the modern UK economy; for those switching jobs, to those renting a property, or obtaining any type of credit. Konfir is focused on protecting consumers, by ensuring transparent and secure access to their own employment and income records. We’re all about helping UK-based workers get approvals faster while controlling the flow of their data.

Odin lets anyone, anywhere launch and run a private investment firm online - think Shopify for Venture Capital and Private Equity. We handle the full back office stack end to end, flexibly: legal structuring, investor onboarding, KYC/AML, payments, tax, reporting, and exits. We administer over $500m in assets, covering investments from pre-seed to pre-IPO. This includes household names like OpenAI and SpaceX but also new companies focusing on tons of cool things like: - Next-gen micronuclear reactors - Atmospheric CO₂ removal at gigaton scale - Asteroid mining - Space-based manufacturing (fiber, alloys, pharmaceuticals) - Crazy biotech eg. wet computers based on human neurons We believe capital is one of the most powerful tools for shaping the world - and more people should be putting it to work. We also have a strong conviction that some of the best capital allocators do not fit the “traditional mould” of a VC or private equity investor. If youve got sector expertise in an interesting field, youve never been an VC / PE investor before but youve thought about it, feel free to reach out.

ZEOFLOW is building the supervised data-infrastructure layer for commodity businesses, converting unstructured operational data — emails, documents, spreadsheets, and ad-hoc workflows — into clean, structured, system-ready intelligence. Teams across operations, trading, and finance use ZEOFLOW to eliminate manual, Excel-driven processes or tedious ERP/CTRM data entry, recover 80–90% of the hours trapped in low-leverage coordination work, and reduce the cost of human error. From global commodity producers to mid-market distributors, ZeoFlow helps organizations build a unified operational data model and automate the workflows that sit on top of it — enabling faster decisions, tighter controls, and a step-change in productivity.

Serious is a Social Enterprise with a simple mission: change where people are spending their money, to create a better world. We create sustainable products that match current market leaders on quality and price but have positive environmental and social impact. Our range of products includes Serious Tissues which is the UKs first carbon-neutral toilet paper. It is made in the UK from 100% recycled paper with zero plastic AND we plant a tree for every roll sold. In the last year, we have planted over 500,000 trees and are currently planting the equivalent of 5 Hyde Parks every single week. This shows how a huge impact can be made through a very small change. As well as the environmental impact, we are empowering local communities where the trees are planted and have created 23+ years of employment so far in ten countries across the world. Our UK tree planting starts in November as part of the Queens Jubilee Canopy. Project Ten Million Ten Million trees are flushed down the toilet every year globally. In our eyes, this is ten million too many. Project Ten Million brings together a consortium of corporates and organisations who by making the simple switch to Serious Tissues will help us plant Ten Million Trees We also have a range of Serious Soaps that are certified plastic negative products. We recover 1kg of ocean bound plastic per pack sold. This is the equivalent of fifty 500ml bottles or 500 crisp packets and were already starting to see a major impact here. Serious is brought to you by the same team that created Change Please, a coffee business that helps the homeless by giving them an opportunity to train as a barista.
