Eazpac is the producer of the innovative food cover called Eazycover, that improves food safety and has less impact on the environment while at the same time getting rid of the limitations and frustrations of plastic film. By combining the simplicity and flexibility of the plastic wrap with the tight seal of a lid, Eazycover was developed and protected by strong international patents. Today we produce Eazycover at our factory in Sweden while at the same time we continue to develop new smart and environmentally friendly products. Eazycover simplifies the handling of food in restaurants and professional kitchens by supplementing the day-to-day use of plastic wraps, foil and traditional stainless lids. When you use Eazycover you will be surprised by how much faster and easier the handling of food becomes. It saves you material, time and money. The heat-fused rubber band is what creates the tight seal around the food container. The food is kept fresh and moist while greatly reducing the risk for cross contamination. This is why public health inspectors love Eazycovers. It takes no more than five seconds to cover a food container with Eazycover. This translates into time savings of 20-40 seconds per unit you cover, compared to using traditional plastic film. Best of all, you don’t need to move the food containers to a dedicated packaging station.

The Nordic Web Ventures is a Solo GP first-cheque Nordic fund for possible futures. We back founders when the market doesn’t believe them yet, when they’re building into “zero billion-dollar markets” today that could become trillion dollar markets tomorrow if their view of the future comes to be. Our sweet spot is writing the first cheque into founders like these, before consensus forms and while assessing the quality of founders and sizing “what if this goes right?” still matters more than proof. More than half of the founders The Nordic Web Ventures previously backed are now LPs, joined by some of Europe’s most respected investors, operators, and institutions, including founders from Wolt, Kahoot!, Pleo, and Sanity; operators from Meta, Google, and Miro; and institutional backers such as Futuristic.vc, Tiny.vc, Christoph Janz, Pacenotes, and Allocator One.
