Scaling School
All entrepreneurs are needed. Big and small, at all levels of society! Today, only 50% of all newly started businesses survive their fifth anniversary.

Less than 1% receive help from growth programs. This is what The Scaling School aims to change with the world’s most efficient digital growth program. The company's tools and programs make it more efficient and affordable to provide growth support with significantly faster results.

ova&me
ova&Mme is reinventing the pregnancy and ovulation testing market with our reusable, 2-in-1 solution, being affordable and sustainable WHILST outcompeting current solutions in terms of technology and usability. The monitor with its associated refillable strips works as a stand-alone, but can also connect to an app for cycle tracking, education and support and for offloading raw data from the monitor for users to get a snapshot of their hormonal patterns. This solution is long overdue in the most overlooked market in women’s health – the pregnancy testing market – which has practically seen no innovation since the 1980’s despite being the most used over-the-counter test in the world.

Verified Caller
The problem: You cannot know for sure who is calling you. You have to choose between missing important calls, or wasting time or even getting scammed. Europe lost 103.6 BUSD to fraudsters in 2024 (FinTech Global, March 21, 2025). It becomes increasingly harder to see through fraud attempts due to spoofing and new AI technology.
The solution: Verified Caller’s phone-app shows the verified identity of the caller. The caller has verified their identity via one of many supported eID, for example Swedish BankID. Patent: Our solutions is patented in Sweden, and we have ongoing patent applications in EU and other interesting markets.
