Too Good To Go

At Too Good To Go we are dedicated to the fight against food waste! Food waste is a huge global issue, with one-third of all food produced being wasted, a landfill is overflowing and our environment is really suffering the consequences. And it's not just about the food itself, it's all the resources that went into producing the food, the land, the water, the labour. It's a sad state of affairs and we're on a mission to inspire and empower everyone to take action! Our platform allows people to buy surplus, unsold food from restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, bakeries etc. that otherwise would have to be thrown out. Through our app, everybody can make a difference by 'saving'​ perfectly good, delicious food from going in the bin.

Plant Jammer

Plant Jammer promotes healthy eating, reduced food waste and learning in the kitchen. Our technology makes it easy and quick to create a dish that's new, delicious and matches the ingredients you have in front of you. We turn the classic recipe book upside down - so you don't have to go shopping for that one missing herb every time you want to cook. The Plant Jammer app now helps more than 300.000 users to solve daily problems in a way nothing else can. On top of that, we built an API and SaaS product that makes it easy for food brands and retailers to publish our unique recipe experiences on their sites. We're located in Copenhagen with a view of the lakes, at Sortedams Dossering 59. We share lunch every day, eat breakfast together once a week, and share random knowledge we're passionate about once a week at 'Brain Jams'. Dogs are welcome in the office and we're generally borderline hippies. The roles described on our job posts are the roles we need to fill, but we encourage taking initiative for growth within the team as we expand and learn. Our team consists of equal parts food geeks and tech geeks, most of us are both. The education and training combines McKinsey business acumen, Novozymes science, hardcore computer and data science, UC Berkeley nutritional science and more. We come from all kinds of backgrounds spanning most of Europe and beyond, so we welcome diversity of all types. Are you ready to find out more?

FlavorScale

FlavorScale is a next-generation foodtech startup focused on revolutionizing how Gen Z discovers and connects with eateries. We solve the problem of fragmented, outdated, and inauthentic food discovery experiences that leave young food lovers scrolling endlessly yet never quite finding places that truly match their tastes and vibes. Current platforms often prioritize ads, generic ratings, or logistics rather than capturing the authentic culinary experience and community connection young users crave. FlavorScale’s platform is video-first and AI-powered, delivering engaging, personalized, and authentic food recommendations by harnessing behavioral data and smart algorithms. We bridge the gap between foodies and restaurants, empowering users to explore and share real experiences, and helping eateries reach the right audience with data-driven insights. Our live MVP has proven product-market fit, with strong success in Copenhagen, and we’re now preparing to scale through a larger pilot in a major Northwestern European city. By focusing exclusively on food discovery for Gen Z and combining community, AI, and real-time data, FlavorScale is poised to transform food discovery from a fragmented chore into an engaging, authentic, and efficient experience that benefits both consumers and the food industry. FlavorScale is building the definitive food discovery platform for Gen Z, video-first, AI-powered, and community-driven. Our MVP is live on Firebase, pre-pilot nailed strong traction in Copenhagen (our biggest win), and we're now scaling for a major Northwestern Europe launch with data insights that restaurants and brands crave. Why FlavorScale? Real momentum: Proven product-market fit from live MVP and pilots. Next: bigger city rollout, 2026 Q2 funding round, AI personalization at scale. Founding-level impact: Join a young, driven team as we build the core stack (Firebase, ML recs, event pipelines) with equity and ownership from day one. Foodtech at its best: Blend cutting-edge tech (React Native, Google Cloud, recommendation engines) with real-world testing in top food cities like Copenhagen, London, Paris, Berlin and Amsterdam. High-agency culture: Ship weekly, collaborate daily, iterate from user data. In-person team time in Denmark/Netherlands (relocation supported).

Simple Feast

Our vision At Simple Feast, we believe that amazing things can happen around the dinner table. Our plant-based meal kits are rooted in our commitment to making life easier and better for you, your family, and the planet we all share. Simple Feast takes you on a journey toward a future where the power and flavors of plants are the focus of our meals. Through inspiring and delightful taste experiences, we can help move people’s eating habits in a more sustainable direction. Our story Simple Feast was founded in Copenhagen (in 2014) with the vision of getting more Danes to make more meals at home. We wanted to go back to the primordial tradition of sharing food with family and friends. We started by creating an app with hundreds of recipes from some of the world’s finest chefs. However, we soon recognized how many people today have limited time for cooking and the need for everyday meals that are quick and easy to prepare. So in March 2017, we decided to cook the food for you on the days you didn’t have time to do it yourself. We knew that the simple action of embracing a plant-based diet held the potential to be our generation’s greatest contribution to ourselves and our planet. Each week, our culinary team (composed of former Michelin chefs) designs an array of delicious, crowd pleasing meals that just so happen to be made of plants. Simple Feast is B Corp™ certified B Corp™ is an international certification standard that defines success on the basis of inclusive and sustainable economics. As a certified B Corp™ we meet the highest verified standards of transparency, responsibility, sustainability and performance – all with the aim of generating value for the business and for society as a whole.

La Cabra Coffee

La Cabra Coffee is a modern coffee company established in Aarhus, Denmark in 2012. We started in a small shop far from the city centre, a dedicated team aiming to offer something new and exciting to Aarhus, which already had a strong and established coffee culture. Quickly, this dedication to providing outstanding coffee experiences turned into obsession with a fast growing industry that was slowly spanning the globe. Curious about what lay further down the coffee chain, we threw ourselves into sourcing and roasting our own coffee, our own way, in 2013. Part of the advantage of growing in a small town is the lack of external influence, allowing us to forge an honest and novel approach to coffee. This honesty and dedication led to a reputation at home in Aarhus, where a passionate team still runs our coffee bar and bakery. Attention also began to trickle in from further afield, and today La Cabra is a widely recognised and sought after coffee roaster; we are proud to be working with many valued and quality driven wholesale partners to create bright and transparent coffee experiences in cities across the globe, and with dedicated home users and subscribers in more than 60 countries. Over the past few years we have further expanded our coffee horizons, moving to our larger roastery in Copenhagen, and opening our first international locations in New York, Bangkok and Dubai.

ReBite

At ReBite, we’re developing a protein bar that makes it easier to choose something truly healthy. Many people are looking for snacks that are simple, natural, and actually good for them. But most protein bars on the market today are highly processed and don’t live up to that. Most current protein bars: - Have long and confusing ingredient lists - Contain artificial sweeteners, additives, and protein isolates - Are high in protein, but offer very little fibre or real food ingredients - Don’t leave people feeling like they’ve eaten something healthy ReBite is different. Our bar is: - Made with whole, natural ingredients - 45% made from upcycled side-streams from the food industry in Copenhagen - Free from sweeteners, preservatives, and other additives - Made without protein isolates—only protein from original raw ingredients - High in fibre (10g) and with only 8g sugar from natural sources ReBite is a cleaner, more honest alternative for people who want a snack that’s better for both their body and the planet.
