Formunauts

In 2014, our founders recognized a critical gap in the fundraising landscape: face-to-face fundraising was powerful, but the tools supporting it were stuck in the past. Campaigns relied on paper forms, manual data entry, and disconnected systems that slowed down the very work designed to accelerate impact. Something had to change. So they built Formunauts - a comprehensive technology platform built by fundraisers, for fundraisers, with a clear mission to unite, empower, and inspire the face-to-face community. What started as award-winning software has evolved into something much bigger. Since 2020, Formunauts has operated the world's first marketplace dedicated to face-to-face fundraising, creating unprecedented connections between charities, fundraising agencies, and donors. Today, they support more than 100 charities across Europe and Latin America - including Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders, WWF, and Greenpeace - helping them raise more funds for the causes that matter most. From their Vienna headquarters, the team continues to push boundaries, building technology that enables real-world impact and proving that when you combine human connection with digital innovation, extraordinary things happen.

Forma.ai

Forma.ai exists to solve a $2.5 trillion problem: the massive inefficiency in B2B sales compensation that still relies on manual processes, spreadsheets, and disconnected systems. Enterprise finance and sales operations leaders struggle with slow, error-prone incentive compensation management that can take weeks to implement changes and months to understand their impact on seller behavior and revenue outcomes. Forma.ai is the first AI-powered sales performance management platform built on a collective data model that automates both comp plan design and execution at enterprise scale. By unifying territory planning, quota setting, and incentive programs in a single data platform, Forma.ai enables companies to test, model, and deploy compensation changes in hours instead of weeks. The platform leverages machine learning to optimize sales coverage, improve forecasts, and design data-driven comp plans that truly motivate sellers and drive revenue growth.

Form3

In 2016, four banking and technology leaders came together with a shared realization: the payments infrastructure powering global financial institutions was outdated, complex, and prohibitively costly. They founded Form3 with a single purpose - to revolutionize how payments work from channel to payment scheme by building a modern, cloud-native platform. The big idea was that banks would move from their established and expensive legacy systems to a more flexible, efficient, and scalable cloud-based solution. Since starting in August 2016 with just four people, a few laptops, and a whiteboard, Form3 has grown into a market-leading Payments-as-a-Service platform that designs, builds, and runs the technology powering the future of payments. The company delivers a fully managed, multi-tenanted environment with continuous no-downtime updates, high availability, and 24/7/365 monitoring and support. Form3 enables financial institutions to access payment schemes across the UK, Europe, and the United States through a single API integration, removing reliance on legacy infrastructure while providing the flexibility, business agility, and speed to market that an API-first platform delivers.

Septentrio

In 2000, engineer Peter Grognard founded Septentrio as a spin-off from imec, Europe's leading research institute in microelectronics and nanotechnology. The founding insight was clear: as GPS/GNSS technology became increasingly vital for critical applications, existing receivers weren't meeting the rigorous demands of industrial and autonomous systems. So they built Septentrio - a company dedicated to delivering high-precision, multi-frequency, multi-constellation GNSS receivers that could operate reliably in the most challenging environments. Over 25 years, Septentrio has evolved into a market leader, serving industries ranging from marine and mining to agriculture, autonomous vehicles, robotics, and defense, all while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy and reliability. What makes Septentrio exceptional is their unwavering commitment to solving real-world positioning problems where failure is not an option. Their receivers deliver decimeter to centimeter-level accuracy even in the presence of interference, jamming, or spoofing threats. With advanced protection technologies like AIM+ anti-jamming and a customer-centric approach to technical support and firmware updates, Septentrio has earned the trust of demanding clients worldwide. In 2025, this journey of innovation and excellence reached a new milestone when Hexagon, a global leader in precision technologies, completed the acquisition of Septentrio to expand the reach of mission-critical navigation and autonomy applications - cementing Septentrio's position at the forefront of GNSS technology.

Substance

Substance exists to fix a broken recruitment industry - one defined by inflated pipelines, ghosted candidates, and shortlists built for volume rather than value. Every failed hire costs companies more than money; it costs momentum, trust, and critical time. That's why Substance was built for roles where mistakes are expensive: difficult, transformation-critical positions that demand informed judgment, not automated processes. Substance's recruiters don't hide behind junior layers orATS filtering. Every search is led by experienced professionals who have delivered in agency environments, owned hiring outcomes in-house, and worked under real headcount and budget pressure. They don't send candidates 'just in case' or inflate pipelines to show activity. They focus on clear role definitions upfront, disciplined screening, and honest market feedback - delivering fewer, stronger candidates who actually fit. The company works across technology, product, commercial, finance, strategy, and people functions, from junior to leadership roles, because hard roles aren't just senior - they're complex. Substance isn't designed for speed at all costs. It's designed for hiring decisions that stand up after the offer is signed.
