Sunny Life Co.

Sunny Life is a Copenhagen-based startup shaking up the spread game with sunflower seed butters in flavors you won’t find anywhere else. Most spreads are boring, processed, or nut-only — we’re here to make them fun, nutritious, and inclusive without losing sight of ethics or taste. Everything is made in small batches, with a sustainable, allergen-friendly base and a Scandinavian twist. As a small but growing team, you’ll work closely with the founder and get a behind-the-scenes look at how a business is built from the ground up. It’s hands-on, fast-moving, and a chance to make a real impact (plus free seed butter 🌻).

Bellyfood ApS

Bellyfood is all about real food for tube fed people. Because tube fed people deserves the possibility to choose real food on equal terms as everybody else. The products (formulas) that are currently available on the European market consists of highly processed ingredients such as maltodextrin, protein powder and vitamin and mineral powder. It is not unusual that patients using formulas suffers from multiple symptoms. The two most common are diarrhea and vomiting. Recent clinical studies show that blenderized food leads to significantly less incidents of diarrhea and vomiting and most important of all, a better quality of life. In Bellyfood we developed a series of real food meals for tube fed people. Our meals are nutritionally complete, gives sensory impressions and are similar to the meals that people would eat with their mouth. Bellyfood are for people from the age of 3-elderly. The product is categorized as Food for Special Medical Purposes. We offer vegan meals and meals made with primarily local ingredients. Our competitors lack agility, willingness to innovate and most of all, competition. A recognised market study shows that 40% of tube fed people in Scandinavia are seeking a real food product. Bellyfood is currently the only company in Europe offering series of tube-feeding-products with 100% real food. The founder of Bellyfood, Line, started Bellyfood when her son, Otto, did not thrive getting conventional tube feeding formulas. Until Line started introducing real food blends, Otto vomited several times a day. Line holds a background in civil engineering and has strong skills within analytics and numbers in general. Pia, the co-founder is a clinical dietitian with more than 10+ years experience within the field of tube feeding. Pia has seen how big an impact food can have on a patients ability to thrive and lot at least on life quality in general and thinks that every tube fed person should have the possibility to choose real food as well as commercial formulas. We are passionate about tube feeding and patients. We want to provide nutrition, sensory impressions and love and caring around an eating situation. Please do not hesitate to contact us, if you have any questions or comments.

Leftovers

Leftovers (leftovers.food) is a marketplace for affordable, home-cooked meals made by talented local cooks and sold to students and young professionals. Problem: In cities like Copenhagen, there is a clear gap between expensive takeaway / delivery (often over 150-200 DKK per meal), and cheap supermarket food, which requires time, planning, and cooking skills many people don’t have. For international students, young professionals, and time-poor households, the result is: 1) Overpaying for mediocre takeaway, 2) Eating repetitive, low-quality convenience food, 3) Food waste from over-purchasing groceries, and 4) A lack of affordable, authentic, home-style meals. At the same time, there is untapped supply: 1) Skilled home cooks with excess capacity, 2) Parents cooking large family meals, 3) Culturally diverse residents who want to share traditional cuisine, and 4) People looking for flexible side income. Solution: Leftovers connects people who love to cook with people who want affordable, authentic, home-cooked meals. Through the digital platform, customers can: 1) Browse daily meals from local cooks, 2) Order affordable portions (e.g. 60–90 DKK), and 3) Pick up locally or access coordinated delivery. Cooks can: 1) Monetise excess capacity, 2) Generate flexible income, and 3) Build micro-brands around their cuisine. Leftovers sits between informal food-sharing and expensive food delivery platforms - creating a structured, trusted, and potentially scalable marketplace. Importantly, a favourable regulatory environment in Denmark allows small-scale food sales from home kitchens under certain conditions, lowering barriers to entry. Why Now? 1) Cost-of-living pressure makes affordable meals more attractive than ever, 2) Platform trust (ratings, payments, verification) makes peer-to-peer food viable at scale, 3) Cultural diversity in cities like Copenhagen increases demand for authentic cuisine, 4) Regulatory tailwinds in Denmark lower entry barriers relative to many other countries, 5) Consumers are increasingly open to non-traditional food distribution models, and 6) Values of trust, community, sharing and sustainability in Denmark are key enablers. Founder: Leftovers is rooted in lived experience. I identified the problem firsthand while living in a Copenhagen student dorm, and validated demand through surveys across students, young professionals, and families. I understand scalable marketplace economics from your finance background. I have hospitality connections (chefs, food influencers) and access to capital networks. And finally, I understand how to position this as more than a food app - but as an authentic, community-driven, scalable, city-by-city platform model. How? The app is live (https://apps.apple.com/au/app/leftovers/id6748817523) and a kickstarter program is imminent to launch (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/leftovers/leftovers-pilot-edition-a-community-food-sharing-experiment) in collaboration with CBS student housing to further validate the concept. The near-term plan is to build awareness and trust in order to drive user adoption. A targeted marketing campaign (incentives, content and events) and funding efforts are underway. I am looking to offer a co-founder equity that is passionate about the concept to help drive community-building and marketing efforts. Leftovers is not just about cheap meals, it’s about unlocking under-utilised kitchen capacity, creating income opportunities and empowering home cooks, reducing food waste, building local food communities. Long-term, it becomes the Airbnb of home-cooked food - starting in Denmark, then expanding city-by-city across Scandinavia and Europe. *We are on a mission to empower home cooks to provide a more affordable, authentic and sustainable alternative to delivery, while building community*

Restaurant 2 Night (R2N)

R2N basically sell guests to the restaurants, to help them fill out the empty tables, and generate more revenue. The R2N-concept is founded on the same principles as last-minute travel, where seats are sold at a reduced price when the day of departure is close by, to utilize the capacity. With a R2N-booking the discount applies for both food and drinks. The discount depends on the day you book. The less time there is for the reservation, the more discount you will get. The discounts vary by the day and is determined by the restaurant owners. With R2N do not worry about being treated differently than "regular" guests. With a R2N-booking, you have exactly the same freedom to choose what you want on the menu.

Comunchi ApS

Comunchi er en online frokost markedsplads, der gør det muligt for virksomheder at få frokost fra lokale spisesteder de kender og elsker. Vores vision er at skabe en billigere, bedre og mere bæredygtig frokostordning, som alle kan være med på og samtidigt støtte lokale spisesteder.

Samtidigt går der både penge og mad til spilde, på de dage medarbejdere er fraværende. Hos Comunchi har vi bygget en platform hvor virksomheder kan købe digitale frokostkuponer, som de kan videregive til deres medarbejdere. Medarbejdere har mulighed for at indløse disse kuponer gennem vores app ved lokale spisesteder og på den måde få lige præcist den frokost de ønsker sig. Virksomhederne undgår at betale for frokost de dage medarbejderene er fraværende og undgår samtidigt madspild.

FÆRM

We started FÆRM in 2020 with the goal of making amazing plant-based cheese. To do that, we use traditional cheese production methods, locally sourced proteins and science combined with a whole lotta love. The problem that we’re solving is twofold. First and foremost conventional cheese has one of the highest carbon footprints in the food industry, with higher emissions than both chicken and pork. Secondly, the plant-based alternatives to cheese that do exist on the market generally fall short on both taste and texture, providing little incentive for consumers to make climate friendly choices. In addition, their content of coconut and palm oil hardly makes them a sustainable alternative As a company, we believe that work is about doing something you love and we want FÆRM to be filled with awesome individuals, who contribute to a strong social culture, celebrate diversity, and take pride in their work.

AERIS

Aeris is a Copenhagen based bottled cocktail brand, handcrafted to the highest of standards. The concept is simple: everybody should be able to enjoy a high quality, perfectly balanced cocktail, regardless of their skillset or financial status. More often than not, a really well balanced cocktail, made with high quality ingredients, is only really accessible in high end restaurants, hotels and bars. For those with the financial means to enjoy cocktails in these places, Aeris cocktails is simply a really nice supplement when one wants to have an equally good tasting drink at home (the importance of this rose during the pandemic and lockdown). For those with less deep pockets, Aeris is simply put some bottled luxury for a decent price. Our recipes are an echo from Barcelona where our founders started their journey, and every cocktail is handcrafted and bottled to the highest of standards. The essence of Aeris is all about wanting to step out of the box, do something that feels fresh and exciting, a new concept embracing that amazing Copenhagen vibe. Our brand oozes of luxury, and yet, is very affordable, for anybody who wants some atmosphere at any place, at any time. Sustainability and quality is key for us and so we have a zero plastic policy and refill options to ensure our bottles get reused. The founders are currently trying to find the time to keep up with the growth and demand, and are in need of a cool team of people to help in the journey of taking Aeris out into the rest of the world.

Cirqle

Plastic waste and single-use packaging is one of the great unsolved problems for our planet. In Denmark, we produce 844KG of household waste annually per person. Most of this packaging is used for food and beverage products and it is an increasingly large environmental challenge. At Cirqle we are driven by our mission to make single-use a thing of the past and make reuse packaging the norm. Reusing packaging reduces the impact, and greatly minimizes the natural resource use of packaging. With our pioneering reuse packaging service and technology platform, we make reuse a reality for companies in the food and beverage industry. We are already breaking new ground with our meal-kit service, but the sky's the limit when it comes to reuse packaging. With partners we cover the full supply chain from packaging production and software development to sanitation and logistics making sustainability the easy choice for our customers.

It delivers the same indulgent experience but without the environmental impact of traditional cacao farming. Our product integrates easily into existing chocolate applications, offering a sustainable choice for manufacturers.
