LikeMinded supports the first batch of projects

The LikeMinded program is a 10-week accelerator program designed to provide selected participants with a platform to build outstanding co-founding teams and validate their business ideas. The program is divided into two phases: Phase 1 focuses on building a solid co-founding the team while Phase 2 on idea validation. The participants will participate in weekly training programs, coaching-sessions and networking events, after which they should introduce a team of at least two complementary co-founders, and a problem-solution-fit analysis of their idea. At completion, the teams will pitch their ideas to receive feedback from the Bluelion Investors Board

Following the registration deadline and evaluation of applications, the jury has nominated eight projects to participate in the first edition of the accelerator program.

The selected teams are:

21stMedicine – creates digital biomarkers for home monitoring of chronic diseases to predict outcomes and personalise therapy. The team is developing several patent-pending digital biomarkers, including Neurina, a smart and cost-efficient wearable that predicts Multiple Sclerosis relapses via accelerometer sensors. Neurina is a major step to individualise the dosage of pharmaceuticals during MS therapy and MS relapse prevention.

Angle – built an AI-powered platform to stimulate eye-opening 1:1 meetings. The platform is a marketplace where users can post a conversation topic. An algorithm matches the topic with the most relevant other users to have a video call.

findependent – developed an easy-to-use investment-app that allows people to save smarter for their financial goals. The app also educates users about the workings and enormous benefits of long-term investing.

MYLEG – is a unique device that restores sensory feedback to amputees by gently stimulating with pulses of current the skin of their remaining leg. The long-term vision of the MYLEG project is to improve mobility and prosthesis cognitive integration, by restoring sensory feedback, in people with leg amputation during their daily life. The prosthesis restoring sensory feedback will enable users to avoid falls, to increase confidence in the device, which will reduce counterbalancing movements, and fatigue.

nxxm.io – develops a unique source code scanning algorithm bundled in an all-in-one solution to reuse, build and deploy native code. Today more than half of the time spent on native development is wasted, due to the complex nature of native C & C++ software libraries integration, build configuration and deployment. This is a major issue hindering many IoT, Mobile and performance-critical Cloud projects. nxxm.io empowers development teams by combining a superfast build & dependency manager and its upcoming serverless IoT deployment platform.

OldSchool – is a distance learning platform specifically tailored for seniors, over 65+. The team enables seniors to access life-long learning opportunities by providing them with a single-entry point into a trustworthy, science-based, gerontologically-designed and digitally-empowering distance learning platform. It offers academic courses, hobby and health classes, and access to scientific research and citizen science projects. It also aims to create a sense of community with peer-to-peer support and socialization opportunities.

Sharing Tribe – brings together companies and female candidates for STEM positions in a flexible working model by matching them into an ideal fit for the role requirements. Companies face problems in finding, recruiting and retaining qualified female candidates in tech roles. They have ambitious Diversity & Inclusion goals to meet, and by achieving them ,they could grow their revenue by up to 19%. Female job seekers and applicants lack a trusted place to find their ideal job with the flexibility to keep track of their work-life balance and still capitalize on their high qualifications in tech. By introducing flexible working models, like part-time and job-sharing, at all levels of the organization, the team helps both sides to solve their problems.

Trilliome – is improving health, quality of life, and preventing diseases in an aging population by providing automated personalized lifestyle management and healthcare. Trilliome maps, decodes, analyzes and monitors human health based on nutrition, microbiome, immunology & metabolomics, and digital remote endpoints. As such, the team provides prognostic, predictive, and actionable insights in a personalized and automated fashion.
