GrowthBond

GrowthBond is a Danish fintech startup funded by the UN that provides SME finance for online marketing assisted by certified experts. It is estimated that a staggering 450 million companies worldwide are unable to get a loan from the traditional banking system because they operate solely in cash, cannot prove their creditworthiness, do not have collateral, or are unable to demonstrate a market opportunity. It is extremely hard for traditional banks to serve these small businesses when it is nearly impossible to evaluate the risk/opportunity and offer them small loans with low margins, compared to larger loans for big companies with high margins and less risk. That’s why we built GrowthBond, a platform designed to automate the credit assessment process for small business owners, which cuts waiting times by weeks, reduces loan operating costs, slashes minimum loans from thousands to hundreds of dollars, and enables real-time tracking of the deployment and financial return of the funds.

Africa Reframed

Online marketplace for African imagery - Powered by online learning. Africa is rising and a visual reframing of the continent is emerging. A reframing crafted by African content creators, telling Africa's story of change. At Africa Reframed we connect a community of African photographers to the world’s leading companies and organizations to create and promote captivating imagery and bespoke projects that propel new storytelling from the African continent. Imagery in the Africa Reframed imagebank has been used by the worlds leading organizations such as: Gates Foundation, UN, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Pfizer, Ernst & Young, Spotify, NBC, Yahoo, Sitecore, Exxon, Cambridge University Press, Hearst, Condé Nast, Lloyds bank, Europe- an Investment Bank, Shell, AOL, ABC, NEC, CNBC, KPMG, Discovery, VISA, Deloitte, Accenture, Ogilvy, UPS, Viacom, Pearson, Barclays, BBC, Axel Springer, British Council, M&C Saatchi, ASUS, Del Monte, Time inc., RTL, Virgin, McKinsey, Airtel, Guardian, Uber, Orange, 3M, HSBC, Samsung, The World Bank and many more. We are looking for investors sharing our vision of Africa Reframed as a value-driven, profitable business that strives to alter the global community’s perception of the African continent while also building sustainable job opportunities for photographers across Africa. Alongside its sister organization, Commerce & Culture, Africa Reframed has managed an array of long-term projects with leading contemporary visual artists globally and organized photo exhibitions with more than 100.000 paying visitors across 3 continents. Among these, the largest exhibition to date with African photography in northern Europe. SDGs: Quality education and decent work and economic growth, SDGs 4 and 8, are an integrated part of the Africa Reframed business model. When the United Nations In 2015 was launching the SDGs with Project Everyone, they did so with a campaign to share the global goals with 7 billion people in 7 days. This happened via global broadcasts, outdoor advertising campaigns, cinema ads, mobile partnerships, and more. Because of the above, Images from our program were among the officially chosen for the campaign and were singled out by the global campaign team as good education and economic growth in action. Misson: Most of the imagery we encounter from the African continent tends to either depict the beautiful scenery and wildlife or scenes of poverty, war, and desperation. While these indeed are bona fide aspects and challenges, Africa is also a continent characterized by immense growth, varied opportunities, and not least, change. The mission of Africa Reframed is to capture and contribute to the spurring of this change by a visual reframing of the continent. A reframing that reflects African enterprise, innovation, and everyday life. Africa Reframed exists to create and promote this new imagery in the belief that by changing the visuals, we can help change the conversation. Thus an inherent part of Africa Reframed’s DNA, which is also mirrored in the name of the company, is to be a catalyst for the way the world looks at the African continent. The wish to illustrate the real Africa and thus to spur optimism and hope around its future makes the company strongly value-driven, and it is believed that such a shared view will help bind contributors, clients, and other stakeholders close together. In 2020 Africa Reframed received an investment from Innovation fund Denmark and was selected as a finalist for the SDG Tech Award.

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

Brand Leadership Community

The Brand Leadership Community (BLC) is a Copenhagen-based startup that has evolved from a series of events into a living learning and relationship ecosystem designed for the professionals behind the world’s leading brands. We serve as a strategic knowledge bridge connecting Brands, Agencies, and Technology Vendors—including iconic Nordic names like Maersk, LEGO, Pandora, Aller Media, and Bang & Olufsen (B&O). The Problem We Are Solving Modern brand building is increasingly complex, yet professionals face three critical roadblocks: o The "Martech Gap": Organizations invest millions in complex enterprise software (from a landscape of 14,000+ vendors) but fail to maximize its value due to siloed knowledge and a lack of platform-specific expertise. o Impersonal Networking: Traditional industry conferences are often impersonal "sales pitches" where real peer-to-peer connection is rare and tactical insights are often hidden rather than shared. o Leadership Isolation: Senior leadership can be lonely, and many operators lack a confidential space to compare notes, share "crime scene" stories of failed implementations, and solve challenges with trusted peers. Our Solution We facilitate "relationships that matter" through a multi-layered platform for professional growth: o Strategic Event Formats: We run premium, intimate gatherings like Masterminds and energetic Jam Sessions that prioritize facilitated problem-solving over standard presentations. o Specialized Tech Tribes: We build software-focused sub-communities (e.g., Adobe, Google, and Amplitude tribes) where practitioners help each other drive adoption and innovation. o Knowledge-Based Publishing: Through BLC Insights Magazine, we translate live conversations into evergreen editorial content, creating a repository of peer-endorsed wisdom that guides decision-making. o High-Value Networks: We facilitate high-ticket Network Groups where senior managers workshop real-world problems in an exclusive, non-technical setting. Why We Do It & Current Focus We believe that better content leads to better conversations, and better conversations lead to stronger brands. In an AI-heavy landscape, authentic human connection and peer-led learning have become the ultimate premium. As we enter 2026, BLC is transitioning from "momentum to maturity" by professionalizing our operations through a structured OKR framework. Our current growth focus is centered on student engagement. We are actively recruiting ambitious Interns and Student Workers, primarily those studying Marketing, International Business and/or Business Administration, who want to act as "process engineers". These recruits will help build practical structures and playbooks while serving the architects of global brand leadership.
