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*

Sellintu ApS

Sellintu ApS is a Danish startup from Copenhagen in Denmark, established in 2023. The idea behind Sellintu, is to help physical product brands and companies to sell intelligently into marketplaces. By marketplaces, we mean programs require "approval" to get into, that a retail store run for third party suppliers, that allow to list their products on their store, to dropship to their customers. This is in contrast to "open to all" marketplaces like Amazon and Ebay, where there is little to no approval process to go through. We focus on three areas in this journey: 1: Matching brand to partner channel, by using inhouse data anytics to guide the process. 2: Onboarding with partner channel, by doing it on our clients behalf, or develop tools to increase the onboarding time. 3. Sell more and earn more with partners, by automating processes relating to daily operations, such as fulfilment of orders. Why do we do this? Because we went through the steps above, and encountered numeruous processes that we thought could be optimized with the right tools, to 10x the experience selling through these channels. With the main tools in hand, we want to offer them to other companies who already suffer, or are about to suffer what we went though.

From the talented individual florist who wants to strengthen his or her business to the enterprising florist who wants to reach a wider audience. What is Your Local Flower? Your Local Flower is an online marketplace and e-commerce solution, that allows florists to sell flowers and bouquets online directly to consumers around the world through their own online stores and a shared marketplace. On Your Local Flower, consumers can find and send unique bouquets bound by local creative florists across the country.

It is a great pleasure to help inspire local trade throughout Denmark and beyond the country's borders. Why Your Local Flower? The online trade of flowers is characterized by a monopoly-like market. With a few large players and many smaller ones. It's incredibly hard to breakthrough in the market for small individual florists, who cannot compete, with the massive marketing budgets of the large players. Therefore, many physical flower shops miss out on the opportunity to go online and reach out to a larger market, as it is often expensive, cumbersome, and resource-intensive when they already have a physical store to take care of. Your local flower enables independent flower shops to start their online sales in a fast, easy, and cost-effective way that allows them to expand their market significantly. At Your Local Flower, you can set up your own store in less than 5 minutes. Sell online directly to your customers through your own unique link, or through our marketplace. It's free to get started. We believe that good floral design and beautiful decorations are created by florists, who know their customers personally and who have passionate employees with a true understanding of what good customer service and good craftsmanship are. We're helping them give customers that experience online.

Hococo

Hococo is a simple and intuitive tenant experience and operations platform that ensures great tenant engagement, untapped data insights and operational efficiency with a state of the art digital solution. Traditional real estate and tenant administration relies on outdated, non-compliant systems that don't embrace the new modern technologies. Tenants are left with a bad, not transparent, experience in a non-digital home. The landlords on the other hand still struggle with rent collections, huge amounts of unstructured tenant inquiries and no tools to communicate effectively with the tenants. Hococo acts as a customer centric layer and helps digitise, streamline and improve all processes and bridge the gap between the property owners and their tenants. We do this via our modern B2B SaaS-administration platform and dedicated IOS and Android apps for the tenants. Our mission is to provide the perfect tenant experience - always referring to our statement that a good tenant experience can also be good business. Why? As modern tenants we expect more of the places we live. Most of us have bad experiences with landlords, not knowing who to contact when shit hits the fan. Most of us can recognise the frustration of tons of paper work or extra bills coming in when moving in or out. And most of us also can imagine how a perfect tenant experience would look like if we could choose our selves. Rent is, after all, for most of us the biggest recurring expense in our lives! Therefore it is only fair to expect something extraordinary in return for all those rent payments and service charges. As tenants we expect more of our rentals, looking to utilize the full potential of our stay whether it be through vibrant communities, new services offerings or pure convenience. Times are changing and Hococo is there to help.

SARTH

We're creating a world where it's easy for everyone, anywhere to buy better. SARTH is a one-stop-shop platform gathering the most responsible brands. We curate only the best products, help consumers navigate the sustainable fashion jungle and make ethical fashion accessible to all. Everyday, we buy products that impact people and the planet. But we rarely have the information we need to make positive choices about what to buy. When brands actually do make sustainability claims, it can be hard to tell what’s genuine and what’s greenwash. For those who actually want to purchase better and more consciously it is very difficult to know where to begin, where to look and what to look for. At SARTH, we help consumers drive change through their purchasing power via transparency and evidence from the supply chain and third party certifications and standards. We verify the third party certifications and evaluate the supply chain from tier 4 to tier 1, the brand itself and the design process with circularity in mind. We eliminate greenwashing. We make transparency, traceability and accountability information available for all products on SARTH, so everyone can make informed decisions on facets that impact the environment, social aspects and governance when shopping for clothes. We also inspire, influence and educate consumers in becoming more conscious and how to take better care of the clothes you buy and already own, so that it last longer. It is our opinion that we as retailer have as much responsibility as designers, brands and consumers to create a better tomorrow. Therefore it is our finest job to be the most responsible choice when shopping. Never has it been easier to make the right choices when shopping. At SARTH we don’t sacrifice style nor ethics.

PayProff

PayProff is developing an escrow service to keep users safe and secure from fraud or scams when they buy or sell high value goods (or when they're buying that personalised pair of sneakers). You just bought an expensive bike from someone online. They give you their MobilePay number and all you need to do is just send them the money. This is the all too familiar beginning of a scam and you've heard it from at least one of your friends. In the last few years the numbers of online fraud have exploded and we want to offer a solution so that people can protect themselves in such situations. The way we are solving this is by offering an escrow secure account where the buyer can place the money until the seller sends the product. In this way, the seller is sure that the buyer actually has the money and the buyer is sure they can get their money back if the product is not living up to their expectations. PayProff grew out of a leading European car auction platform, where users had to deal high value cars with strangers and needed a way to protect their money and assets.

Datapult

At Datapult we are developing a SaaS to help companies schedule employees working in shifts with artificial intelligence.

Datapult is founded by serial entrepreneur Jacob Knobel and is one of the most cited AI startups in Danish media.
