Better Collective increases its ownership to 90% of the shares in Mindway AI that specialises in software solutions based on artificial intelligence and neuroscience for identifying, preventing and intervening in at-risk and problem gambling. The investment supports Better Collective’s ambition to make betting more safe.
As of January 1st 2021, Better Collective has exercised its option to acquire a further 70% of the shares in Mindway AI for a total price of 17 million DKK. The acquisition follows a preliminary investment made in 2019 where Better Collective acquired 19.99% of the company for 4 million DKK. With the new investment, Better Collective now holds 90% of the shares in Mindway AI, whereas the reimaing 10% is held by Kim Mouridsen, Founder of Mindway AI and Professor at Aarhus University.
CEO of Mindway AI, Rasmus Kjærgaard, who has played an instrumental part in commercialising the business during its growth phase over the last 12 months, continues in his current position. Kjærgaard joined Mindway AI in December 2019 from Danish IT company, Signaturgruppen A/S, where he spent over four years as VP of Sales. Also, Professor Kim Mouridsen stays on board in the role as Chief Scientific Officer and member of the board of the company. Mindway AI will continue to operate as a stand-alone company within the Better Collective Group.
Jesper Søgaard, CEO of Better Collective, says:
“Responsible gambling remains a strategic focus area for Better Collective where we continue to increase our efforts. We see Mindway AI’s technologies and software solutions as best-in-class and foresee the business will play an increasingly important role in the iGaming ecosystem, as responsible gambling continues to be at the very top of the industry agenda and in society as a whole. It has been impressive to follow the strong development of the company over the last year since our initial investment and I am excited to further build on the promising collaboration we have established and to find new areas where our core competencies can be crossed and utilized for the benefit of the partners and players.“
Rasmus Kjærgaard, CEO of Mindway AI, says:
“I am excited that Mindway AI now joins the Better Collective Group, an organisation that shares our purpose and values and has a genuine wish to create a safe and sustainable betting and gambling environment for players worldwide. With this investment, we now form closer ties to an organisation that has the industry network and muscles to further accelerate the development of our business. I look forward to continuing the strong growth journey Mindway AI has been on and to further expand our footprint globally.”
Strong momentum
Mindway AI is an award-winning company that develops state of the art software solutions for fully automatic monitoring and profiling of gamblers and for identifying, preventing and intervening in at-risk and problem gambling. At the core of Mindway AI’s DNA is a research-based foundation, and the development of the solutions is done by combining neuroscience, artificial intelligence and a deep collaboration with a team of industry experts. Common to Mindway AI’s software solutions, GameScanner, Gamalyze and GameChanger, is that they empower iGaming operators to create safer customer journeys as well as to become proactive if players show signs of having problems.
Mindway AI has over the last year accelerated its transformation from being an academic-based start-up focusing on building products and software solutions with a strong scientific foundation into commercialising the business. Today, Mindway AI plays an increasingly important role in the iGaming ecosystem supporting operators on a global scale such as Entain (formerly GVC Holdings), Flutter Group and Holland Casino to create safer iGaming experiences.
In October 2020, GameScanner, an AI-based solution that fully automatically 24-7-365 identifies and monitors problem gambling behavior, became the first responsible gambling solution to have its performance on detecting at-risk and problem gamblers tested and validated in a sample by Gaming Laboratories International® (GLI). GLI is the gaming industry’s leading testing and assessment company that provides gaming regulators, operators and suppliers with certification and testing with the highest level of independence and integrity. Currently, GameScanner has a patent pending for its innovative technology. Also, Mindway AI’s Gamalyze solution, a gamificated self-test of players, won the Compliance Innovation of the Year award at the Global Regulatory Awards 2020 that recognises excellence in compliance and responsible gambling.

nanocosmos Unveils Global MOQ Real-Time Streaming Platform at IBC 2025
nanocosmos, an award-winning pioneer in real-time video streaming, today unveils a major technology upgrade to its global real-time streaming platform based on MOQ, which will be demonstrated live at IBC 2025 (12–15 September, Amsterdam) on Stand 5.A34.
nanocosmos is presenting their production-ready global rollout of MOQ, built on a Media over QUIC (MOQ) CDN and player. The nanocosmos MOQ platform uses QUIC, WebTransport, and HTTP/3 to deliver end-to-end latencies under 500 milliseconds.
The major technology upgrade to MOQ moves the platform to true broadcast-grade delivery with real-time interactivity on any browser or device. MOQ has not only been implemented for the last mile for video playback on all browsers, but was made an integral part of the CDN, with a high impact on improving the origin-edge network transport, especially for global media transport. Therefore nanocosmos is the first CDN operating globally with MOQ/Webtransport.
For 10 years, nanocosmos’ platform has been purpose-built for ultra-low latency, large-scale, one-to-many live streaming based on its proven H5Live technology, serving businesses where every millisecond counts — from gaming, sports betting, and live auctions to stock trading, live commerce, corporate communications, education and large-scale virtual events.
“MOQ is superior to WebRTC in terms of video quality, stability and flexibility and we are proud to introduce the first MOQ-based real-time streaming solution on a CDN foundation that is ready for worldwide deployment. With more than 25 years of experience as an innovation leader with technology made in Europe, we are once again demonstrating the great potential of European development work in global competition,” said Oliver Lietz, CEO and founder of nanocosmos.
nanocosmos’ leadership in ultra-low latency streaming has also been recognised by the industry. The company was named Winner of the “Realtime Streaming Solution” category in the 2025 Streaming Media European Innovation Awards for its nanoStream platform.
The nanocosmos MOQ platform is a complete end-to-end solution, from ingest to playback, ready for instant deployment with zero configuration. By combining QUIC, WebTransport, and HTTP/3 with nanocosmos’ proven infrastructure, it delivers sub-second latency worldwide across 1,000+ CDN nodes, with broadcast-grade one-to-many distribution and seamless browser-native playback even under challenging network conditions.
Meet nanocosmos at IBC 2025
Visit nanocosmos in Hall 5, Booth A34 for live demos of its MOQ-based real-time streaming platform, 12th to 15th September at IBC.
Special events on the Content Everywhere Stage (Hall 5.A28) include the following presentations by CEO Oliver Lietz:
- September 12th at 12.15: Next-Generation Video Streaming with MOQ – how to build a comprehensive platform
- September 14th at 16:00: Media Over QUIC in Action: A Production-Ready Real-Time Video Platform
nanocosmos will also host a MOQtail Boat Party, on Sunday, September 14th, in association with Ali Begen, PhD, MOQ expert & founder of the MOQtail project.
