Bold Drinks ApS

BOLD er vaskeægte dansk iværksætteri skabt med en vilje til at gå hele vejen, modet til at forfølge sine drømme og med et fast standpunkt om aldrig at acceptere et nej. Virksomhedens founder Lasse Søkilde blev kendt fra Løvens Hule som den første comeback case, der kom igen og fik succes med at vende Løvernes lodrette nej til et tydeligt JA! Den videre rejse derfra har været fyldt utallige udfordringer og alt andet end let. 1000-vis af ”nej’er” er blevet vendt, modbevist, og forkastet. Nu driver BOLD iskaffekategorien mod et mere funktionelt mindset. Gør som BOLD – grib din drøm, find dit overskud og tag det næste skridt. Vi hepper på dig og står klar til give den mentale energi og det fysiske overskud til at gribe dine chancer. Vi har taget det bedste fra to verdener, vi har taget den gode smag fra iskaffen og funktionelle mindset bag en energidrik og skabt en iced espresso. Det er en iskaffe med det dobbelte koffeinindhold af en energidrik, men uden alt den sukker og de mange tilsætningsstoffer. Vi har lavet et bedre, sundere og mere naturligt produkt end eksisterende alternativer på markedet. Det kombineret med en vision om, at hvis vi alle tænker og handlere mere dristigt, så har vi fundamentet for at opnå vores fulde menneskelige potentiale. Vi har nu taget succesen fra danamrk til sverige og snart flere internationale markeder

Leftovers

Leftovers is a peer-to-peer marketplace connecting home cooks with neighbours who want affordable, authentic, home-cooked meals, starting in Copenhagen. We all know how expensive eating out in Denmark can be. And cooking takes time and skill most people don't have. The result? Overpriced delivery, repetitive convenience food, inefficiency and waste. Meanwhile, thousands of skilled home cooks (food influencers, aspiring chefs, international residents cooking family recipes) have excess capacity and no easy way to monetise or share it. Leftovers closes that gap. Through the Leftovers app (live on iOS and Android), neighbours browse daily home-cooked meals from local cooks, order affordable portions (50–100 DKK), and collect locally. Cooks get flexible, high-margin income and a micro-brand for their cuisine. Customers get real food, at fair prices, with zero cooking required. All while building community and addressing waste. We've just launched a Kickstarter pilot in partnership with CBS Housing (Copenhagen Business School's student residences) and are actively securing further co-living and student housing partnerships to validate and grow the model. Denmark's regulatory environment for small-scale home food sales makes it feasible. I noticed the opportunity while living in a student dorm in Copenhagen last year, where I was constantly choosing between expensive takeaway and my own basic cooking, while talented students across the hallway were cooking incredible family recipes every day. We tried sharing food amongst ourselves, and it worked. Surveys across students, young professionals, and families confirmed the need. I've since come across many examples of successful local food sharing initiatives, but no platform that coordinates it. Leftovers isn't just a platform for sharing home-cooked meals. It unlocks idle kitchen capacity, empowers home cooks, makes food more affordable, improves access to authentic local produce, fights waste, and helps build local community. The long-term vision is city-by-city expansion across Denmark, Scandinavia and Europe, where local food regulations make sense. I'm now looking for a co-founder with a passion for community-building and marketing to help turn early traction into a movement. Equity on the table. Because sharing tastes better. leftovers.food admin@leftovers.food @leftovers.cph
