WeWillWrite is addressing a growing challenge in education: students are writing less than ever, at a time when clear thinking, expression, and creativity matter more than ever — especially as AI becomes a core part of learning.

The platform helps elementary school students develop strong writing skills by combining structured writing practice with AI as a supportive tool, not a shortcut. Teachers use WeWillWrite to guide students through writing exercises that are engaging, age-appropriate, and aligned with classroom goals, while maintaining control over quality, tone, and learning outcomes.

Founded by Daniel Senn and Johannes Stensen, co-founders of Poio (acquired by Kahoot!), together with Erlend Klouman Høiner, WeWillWrite has seen rapid bottom-up adoption, particularly in the U.S. The product is now used by 100,000+ teachers and millions of students.

Volve is the intelligence platform for tendering and preconstruction in construction. Tendering is where bid strategy, risk pricing and margin are set — around 80% of a project's cost is locked in before contract signature — and it remains the least digitised phase in an industry representing more than EUR 1.6 trillion in annual investment across Europe.

For the first time, AI can hold context across thousands of pages of dense, ambiguous documentation and return judgements a professional would trust in a high-stakes setting. That means the accumulated knowledge sitting inside every contractor — tenders, contracts, risk registers, project histories — can finally become an asset rather than an archive. Volve is built to own that layer.
