OssDsign develops and markets next-generation bone replacement products based on advanced material science, including patient-specific cranial implants and an off-the-shelf synthetic bone graft for spine surgeries. The company supports the body’s own healing capabilities to improve clinical outcomes across multiple orthopedic indications. OssDsign has a strong commercial presence in the US, Europe and selected Asian countries and its share is traded on Nasdaq First North Growth Market in Stockholm, Sweden. The company is pursuing expansion of its product portfolio and advancement of clinical programs. Recent financing was explicitly intended to fund its efforts to build a global bone graft business and accelerate growth in the US. The company is positioned to use the strengthened financial base to support commercialization and clinical development. OssDsign is a portfolio company of Karolinska Development that develops medical products for craniomaxillofacial indications and is broadening its focus to orthobiologics and spinal surgery. In early March the company presented a new corporate strategy, ASCENT25, intended to accelerate growth, value creation and innovation and achieve positive cash flow by 2025. To support that strategy OssDsign completed a rights issue with preferential rights for existing shareholders, which was oversubscribed. The board exercised an over‑allotment option to carry out a directed new issue, bringing total gross proceeds to SEK 270 million excluding transaction costs. The fundraising outcome is expected to enable strategic investments to expand the product portfolio and sales into additional orthopedic market segments. Karolinska Development, a long‑term investor, subscribed for its pro rata share in the new issue. OssDsign develops and sells regenerative implant solutions intended to improve healing of bone defects. The company intends to use new proceeds to expand sales in Europe and the US and to enter new markets. OssDsign is preparing for a market introduction in Japan, running pre-marketing activities in parallel with the regulatory process and with ethical committee approval in place for surgeons to start building experience. The company is preparing for a listing on Nasdaq First North in 2019, with Erik Penser Bank acting as financial advisor. Karolinska Development is a major backer, holding 25% on a fully diluted basis. The recent financing is intended to support commercialization and geographic expansion rather than research-stage development. OssDsign develops regenerative implants to improve healing of bone defects and deficits in skull, facial and other types of surgery. Its product portfolio includes Craniomosaic for cranioplasty and Sculpter for facial reconstruction. The products are currently available in Germany, the United Kingdom and the Nordic countries, with further expansion in Europe scheduled for 2016. The company is working with regulatory authorities to expand access in new key markets and expects clearance in the US in 2016. Led by CEO Anders Lundqvist, OssDsign plans to use new funding to accelerate market expansion of its craniofacial implant line. The company recently completed an equity financing to support these plans. OssDsign develops patient-specific bioceramic implants for bone healing, starting with its OssDsign Cranio PSI product for skull reconstruction. The company has a registration certificate for production and sales of patient-specific implants and reports very positive results in treated patients to date. After completing a SEK 13.7m rights issue, OssDsign has initiated a clinical multi-center study evaluating clinical outcomes, quality of life, and health economics; first patients have been treated at Karolinska University Hospital. The company is developing a new bioceramic material with a chemical composition similar to bone and aims to transform that technology into differentiated products for bone replacement. Its strategy is to build a niche orthopedics company beginning with sales in skull surgery and extend applications to other areas such as fracture healing. The market for bone replacement products was reported as worth EUR 1bn in 2012.

Bambuser's flagship product is Live Video Shopping, a cloud-based interactive live video streaming solution used by global e-commerce and retail customers to host live shopping on websites, mobile apps and social media. The company launched the product in late 2019 and reports rapid adoption by brands including H&M, Motivi, Moda Operandi, Frame, LUISAVIAROMA and Showfields. In Q2 2020, Bambuser's net sales grew 669% year-over-year; average viewers watched 11.18 minutes per show and 12% added at least one item to their cart (36% add-to-cart in beauty). The U.S. became the company's largest market despite having no physical presence after plans to open a U.S. headquarters were delayed by travel restrictions. Bambuser says the new funding will support physical expansion, aggressive recruitment and further product development to meet demand during the Q4 holiday season. The company was founded in 2007 and is listed on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market, with headquarters in Stockholm. Bambuser offers proprietary technology and products that let developers, organizations and brands integrate low-latency live broadcasting and viewing directly into mobile apps and workflows. The company’s platform is designed to drive ongoing engagement between broadcasters and their audiences. Bambuser’s mobile technology is installed on over 60 million devices worldwide. Led by CEO and co-founder Jonas Vig, the company focuses on serving professional B2B customers. It plans to use new funding to accelerate expansion, including deploying a dedicated sales team across key geographies such as Europe and North America. Bambuser also intends to launch the second generation of its Iris platform to advance its product offering. Bambuser provides a platform and backend that lets eyewitnesses and journalists record, transmit, and authenticate live user-generated video for major news events. The service is free for regular users while professional news organizations pay for access and integrations. Its technology is optimized to work over basic handsets and weak networks, an advantage the company traces to its early start in 2007. Bambuser recently rolled out an SDK to make it easier for organizations to embed its content on third-party sites. The company plans to focus on a B2B monetization strategy, expanding the platform for newsrooms and helping them source and verify UGC. Bambuser does not disclose user counts or revenues; the article notes it has raised at least $2.5 million in addition to the AP’s most recent investment. Bambuser is a Swedish live mobile streaming platform that enables users to share live mobile video with friends and followers worldwide. The service integrates with major social networks including Facebook, Twitter and Myspace and can be embedded in users' blogs or websites. It supports both consumer broadcasts and business use, allowing small organizations to large media companies to produce and distribute real-time and interactive mobile and web/DV-cam video experiences. The company has raised equity funding of an undisclosed amount. Bambuser intends to use the new capital to further expand its service. The funding announcement was published on 06/03/2011.
