THE UPCYCL

THE UPCYCL connects your industrial waste streams with your neighbors supply chain. We make it possible to reduce our amounts of industrial waste, by turning waste material streams into business opportunities. Our material database displays leftover materials from production, giving developers easy access to reusable materials, also called "New Waste". Hereby, achieving a significantly lower CO₂ footprint than with virgin materials. When circulating New Waste materials with the THE UPCYCL, we also offer to monitor CO₂ savings. We work to accelerate the use of circular materials, worldwide. Because Waste is Everyone's Business!

Flowering.dk

Centrally located in Copenhagen, Flowering is developing bouquets with a reduced CO2 output to help environmentally conscious customers reduce waste and promote sustainability with beautifully crafted, eco-friendly floral arrangements. Flowering addresses the significant issue of flower waste in the floral industry. This problem affects both the environment and flower producers, contributing to unnecessary carbon footprints. The widespread waste impacts growers, retailers, and consumers who seek sustainable alternatives. Our team at Flowering sources surplus flowers that would otherwise be discarded and repurposes them into beautiful, high-quality bouquets in combination with local and certified flowers. By implementing efficient logistics and innovative design processes, we ensure these flowers reach customers fresh and vibrant, reducing waste and promoting sustainability without any intermediaries. The inspiration for Flowering came from witnessing the vast amounts of perfectly good flowers being discarded daily. Motivated by a passion for sustainability and a desire to make a positive environmental impact, we left our jobs and studies to focus on creating a business that not only delivers beauty but also champions environmental responsibility.

SubBook

The Solution to Our Time’s Flood of Pictures Lies in Photo Books. We are living in a time where we take more pictures than ever before. However, it is also a time where we no longer have them developed or spend time looking at them together. This has the team behind the Danish company SubBook come up with a solution to. They have made it easy to get the photo books back in the living rooms, so that friends and family can gather around the pictures and look back at all of their greatest memories together. And now they are expanding to the international market. The team has developed a photo book app called SubBook, which allows users to collect pictures from both Facebook, Instagram, Dropbox, and the iPhone camera roll to make simple photo books as easy as possible. They have made it with a particular focus on a user-friendly experience, so that people can both create and order their photo books while grocery shopping or in the bus on the way home from work. Because the team would like to spread the joy of perpetuated memories and the possibility to make simple, personalized, and cheap photo books to even more people, they now have entered the international market. In doing so they have also launched their website and app in English versions, while their photo books are delivered to all of Europe. With a sustainable aim. As the team wishes to give something back to the resources they use in their production, SubBook has joined in with the organization One Tree Planted. This collaboration means that a tree is planted every time a customer orders three books using the SubBook app. The team care a great deal about the traces they leave on our Earth and because of this, they only use paper qualities complying with international environmental requirements. This also means that their customers can order books with a clean and green conscience. For now, the SubBook app only works with iPhones, but as a part of their international launch the team is working tirelessly on developing an app for Android users, so that many more can join in on getting pictures out of the phones and into the photo books.

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

Sisi Copenhagen

Sisi Copenhagen is a Danish direct-to-consumer jewelry brand building lasting jewelry for life's most meaningful moments, sold exclusively through channels we own. Our assortment is broad by design, but within the bridal segment we are expanding fast. No retailers, no marketplaces, no middlemen. Bootstrapped since 2017 and among the fastest-growing brands in the established jewelry scene. The jewelry industry runs on markups, distance, and inertia. Legacy brands stack middleman margins onto every piece, sell through cold and transactional channels where no one is accountable after the purchase, and move slowly in an industry that rarely questions how it operates. The result: jewelry that costs more than it should, bought through experiences that feel impersonal at exactly the moments that matter most, an engagement, an anniversary, a gift meant to say what words can't. We think the people buying jewelry for the meaningful moments in their lives deserve better than that. We own the entire chain. We design our own pieces and work directly with the best workshops in the world, so there are no supply-chain middlemen inflating the price. We sell only through our own channels, which means every relationship is direct: the person who advises on a diamond ring and the person who handles a question afterward both work at Sisi Copenhagen. Operations, customer service, and marketing are run in-house, with focused external support where it makes sense. We're also spearheading lab-grown diamonds, the best current vehicle for offering fine jewelry at honest prices, and we treat experience as a core differentiator. We're constantly building better ways to buy jewelry across both the digital and physical space, from the online journey to in-store and video consultations. Experience innovation is where a lot of our energy goes. This is a lean, owned, constantly refined model. Revenue grew from 6M to roughly 75M DKK in four years, we've won four consecutive Gazelle Awards, and we've done all of it with zero external funding. That independence is a deliberate strategy: we grow on our own terms, reinvest in the business, and answer to our customers rather than investors. Sisi started with Vivi, who grew up around her mother's jewelry trade and built the company alone for years: full-time job by day, the business by night, her own money on the line. Christian joined from the entrepreneurial side, drawn to building something from nothing. We've grown the brand through the same milestones it marks for others: partnership, parenthood, building a home. We lead without hierarchy and hire people who want real ownership over what they build, whether that's shaping how the company runs or architecting the systems and processes behind it. If you're curious, self-driven, and want to see your work land directly on the business, you'll fit here.
