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 We solve the problem of fragmented, outdated, and inauthentic food discovery experiences that leave young food lovers scrolling endlessly yet never quite finding places that truly match their tastes and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).

Kitchenswaps is an online marketplace for commercial kitchen space, matching kitchen owners with food businesses. High rental and operating costs and low profit margins for commercial kitchen owners (think restaurants, cafe's, you name it!) has resulted in a rise in bankruptcies, further compounded by the pandemic. At the same time, there is a large shortage of commercial kitchens, limiting food entrepreneurs to start/expand their business, preventing them from vital development. Our 'win-win' circular solution optimizes unused kitchen spaces by renting it out to businesses in need of flexible and affordable licenced kitchens. This maximizes revenue for kitchen owners and minimizes barriers to entry through easier access for food businesses. We are Emma & Joachim and we are two passionate foodies on a mission to make culinary innovation accessible to all!

Short term storage on every block of the city, hosted by local businesses Bounce is an app that lets you find a place to leave your bags or luggage when you’re on the go. We launched in 2019 on Product Hunt as #1 product of the day and have been growing 40% monthly since then. We're backed by top tier investors and are a small scrappy team with big plans. Read our story below and get in touch! Inspiration The founders have collectively lived in 15 cities and traveled to 60+ countries. We know how annoying it is to have your things dragging you down. I personally own less than 3 suitcases worth of belongings. Lightbulb Moment A few years ago, I was getting drinks with co-workers after work on a Friday. A friend said he’d join, but had to go all the way out of the way to drop his work bag at home. I thought “what a waste of time, there's got to be a better way.” Problem People spend so much time planning their days (and their lives) around the things that they own. The status quo when you land in a new city is to go straight to the airport just to drop your stuff off, even if it doesn’t make sense otherwise. Solution Tapping into local hotels and shops, we can open up storage space nearly everywhere in a city. Open the Bounce app and find a safe and secure place to leave your things (delivery back to where you’ll be later coming soon!). Key Features: * 24/7 storage locations * Secured and insured * Easy pricing: $6 / day * 24/7 customer support * Get to know your local shops! Vision: This is just the first step in creating what we hope will one day be a paradigm-shift product. Our end goal is for Bounce to be the interface between you and your physical things. Use Bounce to summon your things to you or away from you. We could talk your ear off for hours about what this can be long term.
