2008
Calorie transfer bank
We launched the the world’s first complementary currency transfer bank. The currency component of this project was a key milestone on the path to IOVIA.
2009
Crowdsourcing platform
Building on our earlier work, we launched an enterprise-ready crowdsourcing software platform which was used by major global brands in both Europe and North America.
2010
Complementary currency
We developed and launched a ‘customer journey engagement’ complementary currency platform. This would serve as another key exploration into currencies and a precursor to our focus on cryptocurrencies today.
2014
Data democratization
We founded the Nordic Data Empowerment Initiative in partnership with Lund University, Sweden, with a focus on democratizing data. This core principle, now expanded to the broader area of data sovereignty, is key to our work at IOVIA.
2015
Participation agency
We founded Better Ventures which worked with some of the world’s most loved brands. For three years we mapped the potential of participation to create new value for consumers and brands. Our work with Better directly led to the founding of IOVIA.
