Exciting news, you can now add PostNord's delivery widget to Avarda 's checkout. By integrating PostNord with Avarda Checkout, the choice of delivery becomes simple and efficient, benefitting both e-tailers and e-customers.   - Being the first to implement PostNord's new widget is a great advantage for us. We look forward to offering our customers an improved and more integrated shopping experience that will benefit both them and their end customers," says Wilhelm Hyltén-Cavallius, CCO at Avarda .   Postnord's TA-solution Skicka Direkt Business will be seamlessly integrated with Avarda Checkout, which means that the e-tailer can control their shipping options in checkout and book freight and print shipping labels in one place. This reduces friction and increases ease of use.   - The setup is super-easy to do; you just make sure you have an agreement with Avarda and an account in Postnord Portal Business and then you just notify Avarda that you want to turn on the integration. Configure which shipping services you want to present in the checkout and you are up and running.   https://lnkd.in/dtBE-hPp

🚀 Why You Should Invalidate Your SaaS Startup Idea Dennis R. Mortensen (formerly of x.ai) journey began after selling his previous company. With newfound time on his hands, he did something seemingly mundane yet profoundly impactful: he counted the number of meetings he’d attended in the past year—1,019 in total. But here’s the kicker: a staggering 65% of those meetings required rescheduling. Dennis faced a classic entrepreneur’s dilemma: he had an idea. However, the SaaS market was already crowded with products addressing meeting scheduling. Instead of blindly pursuing his concept, he took a different approach. Rather than validating the idea outright, he spent months trying to convince himself not to work on it. When self-doubt failed to dissuade him, Dennis moved to the next step. He built a concierge MVP—a minimal version of his product that operated manually. This clever approach allowed him to test the waters without writing a single line of code. And so, x.ai was born. The company has secured over $44 million in funding. Dennis’s journey—from meeting overload to MVP validation—holds valuable lessons for aspiring SaaS founders. 🔑 Key Takeaways: 1. Invalidate First: Don’t rush to validate your idea. Instead, try to disprove it. If you can’t, you might be onto something. 2. Concierge MVP: Test your concept manually before investing in development. It’s a smart way to validate demand. 3. Serial Entrepreneur Wisdom: Dennis’s track record of successful exits and one failed startup underscores the importance of persistence and learning from setbacks.

The ongoing Nordic AI Summit let us communicate Brua's call to action, and the audience had a chance to experience our product. We went on a journey through time. We covered the fuller history of AI from myths and philosophy to modernity. We looked at the role of artificial minds in our midst through the lenses of our broader cultural history, to uncover what it might take to sculpt a socially responsible role for AI. That is Brua's mission. You may call me mad, but there are two ways to create culture. The hard way is to work on solving "pain points" that are symptoms of a deeper issue, invariably creating a path to a future crisis. The even harder way is to work on the deeper issue head on. Brua is about the latter in the context of AI. I'll do a longer session on this to kick off an AI Salon (online) on June 20, 1-2pm CET. All welcome. Thanks Nordic AI Summit, 🔵Bastian W. Harbo, Mikkel Selente for helping us communicate the Brua approach to a future with AI at the summit. I appreciate it 🙏

🗺 How to tackle vacation policies in a multi-cultural company? We celebrate the myriad of cultural and religious diversity within our team at Moder.app. We cherish the value that diversity brings to our team dynamics and creativity. While Finnish law provides certain holidays, we recognize the importance of accommodating the diverse needs of our employees. Recently, I came across an inspiring example from If Insurance, who addressed a similar challenge through comprehensive research and collaboration with trade unions. While we may not yet have the same level of influence, we are committed to finding meaningful solutions within our capacity. Putting our money where our mouth is, we announced a new approach to vacation policies. In addition to our standard six weeks of vacation, we encourage all employees to utilize their vacation days to observe and celebrate important cultural and religious holidays. We will prioritize these requests to ensure that every team member feels empowered to honor their traditions and beliefs without hesitation. I believe this is just the beginning of our journey toward greater inclusivity. I'd love to hear from you about how your organization promotes inclusivity in its vacation policies? #Inclusion #Diversity #EmployeeWellness

Have to share some excitement on what is going on right now. 🔥 The startup landscape is transforming, and we’re seeing this shift clearly in the Nordics, driven by a new wave of technically strong founders and the AI-platform shift. These founders are capitalizing on lower costs, rapid product development, and faster iteration cycles — fundamentally reshaping how startups are built. Here’s what I’m observing: 🔸 Getting off the ground has never been cheaper. What once required millions of $’s and a large team now takes a small group of brilliant founders and some token cost (which is plummeting). The barriers to entry have fallen dramatically, empowering ambitious founders to bring their ideas to life with unprecedented efficiency. 🔸 Faster than ever. Gone are the days of lengthy development. Today’s founders are embracing “build-test-iterate-repeat” cycles at breathtaking speeds. New versions are being shipped several times per day (!), not per quarter. Micro-pivoting has become the norm, enabling startups to adapt quickly and refine their products in real time. 🔸 Next level teams. We are seeing a wave of technically strong founders, many of them at young age, who have grown up in the AI-era. More PhD's in the pitch decks on my desk than ever before. Many founders who have experience from earlier journeys with Nordics start- & scale-ups making them know what good looks like and where the bar is. What this leads to? 🔹 Great and truly disruptive solutions 🔹 Increased competition 🔹 Higher failure rates as a lower barrier to entry and the opportunity in the platform shift makes more take a shot (which I welcome!) 🔹 A big threat to incumbents (My tip to incumbents: Don't build. Buy or collaborate with the new-comers. You won't be able to keep up.) 🔹 Fundraising is becoming very polarised. Either you are in the bucket I'm describing above or you are not. And if you are not, it's not a fun time right now. But if you are, it's a very fun time. 🔹 Unprecedented return potential The startups that do succeed are achieving spectacular results in record time. These outliers that used to yield 100x returns is now potentially delivering 1,000x — and in half the time. The game is faster, the stakes are higher, and the opportunities — particularly in the Nordics — have never been more exciting.

"We are in an era where integrations are so good that you can afford to get the best tool for a specific purpose without messing up your tech stack." Why do you need yet another tool? Our AE Hugoh Nycander got the chance to interview our CEO Johan Nilsson last week on common questions we get in meetings with potential customers. "You don't get a tool for the sake of getting a tool. You get one to achieve a specific goal. And in this day and age you can have a dedicated tool for each goal without causing friction in productivity." So it's time Customer Success got their own tool. Don't you think? 🙂 #customersuccess #csm #cstool
