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!

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.

RE-ZIP

What is RE-ZIP RE-ZIP is a circular packaging concept offering circular packaging to more or less all players in the ecommerce industry. By circulating and hence reusing rather than using single-use packaging (even recycled) we save CO2 even the first time a packaging is reused. It works likes this RE-ZIP delivers the packaging to webshops who offer the sustainable packing solution to their customers at check-out for a minor fee (paid back via reward voucher upon returning the packaging). Upon receipt of the goods the customer folds the RE-ZIP packaging to a return format and return it at a Drop Point. The packaging is returned to the RE-ZIP warehouse for cleaning and re-circulation to the webshops. The RE-ZIP packaging can be circulated up to 10 times, but more importantly the packaging will begin saving CO2 Within the first or second use – depending on the type. RE-ZIP has developed a state-of-the-art backend system supporting the above process and are currently operating in Denmark, UK and Poland. Hence working at RE-ZIP will offer you in-person colleagues in Denmark and remote colleagues in before mentioned countries and more to come. Working at RE-ZIP Working from the Danish RE-ZIP HQ you will find a bunch of nice new co-workers who appreciate to work from the office most days, because the energy we create together is important for us. That does not mean that you have to be here all day every day. You will have flexible working hours to accommodate your daily life. The atmosphere in the office is laid back and rather than working solo on projects and tasks we gather and combine our skills. Send us your application to come join us in our mission to change e-commerce packaging for good.

Folke Furniture

Folke Furniture is a D2C furniture brand from Copenhagen. We design, produce, and sell modular sofas made for real life, for people who move, change plans, and live in homes with staircases, doorways, and shifting needs. Most sofas are built for a forever home. But many of us live in apartments, move often, and need furniture that can follow along, without drama. So we’re replacing bulky, one-shape-for-life sofas with a simple system: tool-free modules that ship in boxes, zip together in minutes, and rearrange whenever life does. Our modular sofa is built from four core modules, giving customers the freedom to: • start small now • switch between sofa, lounge, guest bed, or conversation corner in seconds • add more modules later, instead of replacing the whole thing Folke is a Danish name with a simple meaning. It comes from “folkelig,” meaning "for the people," and nods to folklore: the everyday stories we share and pass on. Because home isn’t just walls and furniture. It’s movie nights, long talks, kids on the cushions, and friends who stay a little longer. Folke began in 2024 out of personal need. When our founder, Christoffer, became a family of three, he didn’t want “a sofa.” He wanted a living space: a soft spot for board games, wrestling, scrolling, reading, real conversations, and overnight grandparents. In 2025, he left his CEO role to build Folke. If you value practical design, honest products, and building something that lasts, join us in shaping Folke.

OrderBuddy

OrderBuddy is a digital menu platform that helps dining places to an efficient and quick order flow without getting annoyed customers. We have all been out in a dining situation where the waiters are too busy to get to you, and it takes the fun away from being there with friends and family. What if you could just order and pay, have fun with the people you are there with, and then wait to get served. After you're done, you can order more, or leave the place without getting the waiter one more time. OrderBuddy is an ordering system, where guests can place and pay their orders directly from the table on their own phones. No need to install anything, just scan the QR code on the table, or go to the webpage and find the dining place, add items to the cart and pay. The order goes directly to the kitchen or bar. The idea for OrderBuddy of course started when I was out dining with some friends. The place was busy, and we actually wanted to order a new round of beer to the table, however the waiters were too busy elsewhere, and when we finally got a hold of the waiter we decided to just pay. The restaurant lost revenue and ended up with customers who had a bad experience.

Homeswap

Homeswap is a platform where members can stay in each other’s homes instead of paying for accommodation. The model is built on credits: you earn credits when you host other members, and you use those credits to travel. There is no money exchanged between members, which makes the experience feel more personal, fair and community-driven than traditional renting. Travel with Homeswap feels different because you stay in real homes, in real neighbourhoods, from real people. It attracts a type of traveller who values meaning and connection over pure convenience. Many members also like the sustainable aspect – instead of building new hotels or keeping second homes empty, existing space is shared and used better. The platform has already grown organically to members in more than 20 countries. We have not relied on paid marketing so far. Growth has come through word of mouth, community recommendations and people who like the idea of travelling without paying for accommodation.
