Proku AI

Proku is building an AI-native bid management platform to help Swedish B2B companies selling to the public sector win more tenders, by combining each company's own bid history with outcome data and human corrections into a system that improves with every bid written. Public procurement in Sweden represents roughly SEK 900 billion per year across approximately 18,000 published tenders. On the supplier side, the process is brutally inefficient. A mid-sized consulting or services company routinely spends 40 to 120 hours on a single bid: reading hundreds of pages of requirement documents, hunting down CVs and reference assignments, rewriting the same quality descriptions for the fifth time, and then reformatting everything to match a procurement officer's template. Win rates typically sit around 20 to 30 percent, which means most of that work gets written off. The problem hits hardest for companies competing on qualitative criteria, where evaluation is based on descriptions of methodology, competence, complexion of the tender and delivery rather than price alone. That is exactly where human writing determines the outcome, and exactly the part that is least systematized today. The knowledge lives in the heads of one or two people, rarely in a system. When they leave, it disappears. The consequence is that companies either walk away from business they could have won, or burn their margin on bid work that never converts. Proku is the workspace and data plattform where the bid is actually written, not another monitoring tool that stops at sending notifications. The platform ingests the tender documentation and breaks it down into a structured requirement matrix covering mandatory criteria, weighted criteria, and the evaluation model. It then generates drafts per requirement, grounded in the company's own previous bids, CV database, and reference assignments, with integrations to the systems where that material already lives: Cinode, CV Partner, SharePoint. Every draft is traceable to its source, which matters in a context where an inaccurate claim can disqualify the entire bid. What makes this hard to copy is not the model but the data. Because we own the writing surface, we capture three signals no monitoring service has access to: what was written, what the human changed before submission, and whether the bid won or lost. That combination means quality compounds with usage, both per customer and across the customer base. My co-founder Sadegh and I previously built and sold a digital agency. We spent an unreasonable amount of our own time on public sector bids, and kept having the same experience: we knew we were the right supplier, but lost because we did not have the energy to describe it as carefully as we had in the last bid. The work was repetitive, the knowledge already existed in the company, and we still started from a blank document every single time. When we started talking to other companies, we realized this was not our incompetence. It is a structural problem across the entire supplier side. The public sector has digitized its half of the process. Suppliers are still in Word. This is a market with enormous volume, clearly measurable outcomes, and almost no modern software. We believe whoever owns the writing surface toward the public sector in the Nordics builds something very large, and we intend to be the ones who do it.

Proteins.1

Proteins.1 is a Finnish biotech startup on a mission to make diseases detectable years before symptoms appear — when treatment is most effective and survival rates are highest. The Problem For diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's, the body releases early warning proteins into the bloodstream long before any clinical symptoms emerge. The problem is that these signals are so faint that today's blood tests simply cannot detect them. By the time a diagnosis is made, the disease has often already progressed to a stage where treatment options are limited and outcomes are far worse. Our Solution We've developed a breakthrough technology called Affinity-Mediated Transport (AMT) — think of it as bringing PCR-like amplification to proteins. Just as PCR revolutionized the detection of genetic material, our platform makes individual disease-signaling proteins visible from a standard blood sample, at sensitivities up to 1,000 times beyond what current gold-standard diagnostics can achieve. The technology originated at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, has been validated through EU breakthrough innovation funding, and is protected by granted patents in both the EU and the US. Where We Are Founded in 2025 and backed by €4.7M in pre-seed funding from Lifeline Ventures and Cloudberry Ventures, we are a team of deep-tech founders, engineers, and scientists based in Espoo, Finland — building the next generation of diagnostic instruments that could fundamentally change how the world detects and treats serious disease.

DiFacto ApS

DiFacto is an AI-powered SaaS startup based in Aarhus at Incuba, automating invoice auditing for companies with complex supplier and rebate agreements — starting with the Danish construction industry. The problem: Construction companies operate under intricate price agreements with major suppliers like STARK, XL-Byg, and others. These agreements contain volume discounts, seasonal rebates, and project-based pricing. In practice, invoices frequently deviate from the agreed terms — but checking them manually is time-consuming, expensive, and requires specialist knowledge that most SMEs simply don't have. Our own pilot data shows that around 10% of all invoices contain errors or rebate breaches, putting 1–1.5% of total procurement volume at risk. Why we built it: We spent 14 months manually analysing hundreds of real price agreements and invoice structures from Denmark's largest building suppliers. That deep understanding became the foundation for a platform that does in 30 seconds what a trained analyst would take hours to do. Our core engine reads invoices via OCR, converts them to structured data, and cross-references them algorithmically against the client's price agreements — flagging every discrepancy automatically. Why now: We have a working MVP, real pilot customers, and a clear path to a commercially scalable product. We're a small team of three co-founders building something technically complex in a space with almost no direct competition. This means an intern won't just watch from the sidelines — you'll work directly on live problems, contribute to a microservice-based backend architecture, and learn how to build AI-driven data pipelines in a real startup environment at Incuba, Aarhus.

Ø12

Ø12 was founded by Kasper and Enete, with a passion for Copenhagen’s café culture and a simple ambition: to create the kind of brunch place they felt was missing. Where exceptional food, truly great coffee, and genuine hospitality come together. Today, Ø12 has grown into three busy locations and one of the city’s favourite brunch spots. But for us, great cafés are built by great people. We believe outstanding guest experiences start behind the counter, with teams who feel supported, trusted, and proud of what they do. That’s why we work with two clear pillars: Systems & Structure, giving everyone the routines and clarity to succeed, and Human Interaction & Service, creating a warm, respectful, and energetic workplace where teamwork comes first. At Ø12, you can expect a fast-paced environment, high standards, and a strong sense of ownership. We care about craft, consistency, and helping each other grow. While keeping things fun and human along the way.

Venli

Venli is the world’s first Agent Management System (AMS) for hospitality. An AMS is the layer that lets you manage all AI operations from a single platform. Venli connects directly to the most widely used hospitality systems, scrapes your website to build a live knowledge base, and creates a unified access layer where AI agents can perform real actions, not just respond to requests. Hotels use Venli to deploy guest-facing agents across SMS, voice, WhatsApp, and web that handle bookings, service requests, and operational tasks, while background agents automate reporting, planning, and internal workflows using live PMS, CRM, and revenue data. Everything runs in one system, with agents, integrations, and instructions working together in harmony. The result is AI that removes operational friction, reduces manual work for staff, and functions like a digital operations layer rather than a collection of disconnected tools.

Over Easy Solar

At Over Easy Solar, we are tackling the challenge of underutilized rooftop spaces for solar energy, particularly focusing on flat rooftops and green roofs, which are often overlooked due to concerns about maintenance, energy efficiency, and potential damage from traditional solar panels. Rooftops represent a significant opportunity for clean energy production, yet their potential is often untapped. Our solution is the innovative vertical bifacial solar panel, which is specifically designed to overcome these challenges. This unique panel integrates seamlessly with flat roofs and green roofs, maximizing energy output without disrupting the environment. By using a prefabricated design, we streamline the installation process, making it up to ten times faster than conventional systems while reducing costs. The vertical configuration allows our panels to capture more sunlight, especially during peak demand times, such as mornings, evenings, and winter months, increasing energy efficiency when it’s most needed. Additionally, the panels’ design ensures easy access and reduces the need for heavy ballast, making them compatible with most roofs. Our mission is to unlock the potential of underutilized spaces, contributing to the global transition to renewable energy while supporting EU energy goals for rooftop photovoltaic (PV) installations. By providing an efficient, eco-friendly, and versatile solar solution, we are helping to build a cleaner, more sustainable future.
