Her stod jeg for at planlægge og holde styr på deres sociale medier, skrive blogpost og lave SEO. Udover det, fik jeg også sat et samarbejde med Rista sat på benene. Handyhand gav mig mulighed for at benytte den viden, jeg havde tilgået via. mit studie men var samtidig en dejlig lærerig oplevelse, hvor jeg fik tilgået en masse ny viden. Handyhand er en inspirerende virksomhed, med en god og afslappet atmosfære, og søde mennesker. Krisztian Szabo - Developer "Working as an intern at Handyhand has been a positive experience for me. As is the case with many start-ups, this collaboration implied a great deal of independence and the ability to decide for myself how to best reach my goals. I was tasked with building Handyhand's mobile app from scratch, that is supposed to replicate the functionalities offered by the web platform. After some initial planning where we decided on the technology stack that will be used, I was free to devise the product's architecture and implementation. During the internship period I worked in a focused manner, such that by the end of it, about 80% of the app's functionality had been developed. This degree of freedom and responsibility might not be suitable for everybody, but for anyone that feels up to the challenge, I highly recommend this experience." Mihail-Sebastian Rotar - Developer "My internship at Handyhand was more than beneficial for me. My initial expectations were consisting of learning how to develop mobile applications from scratch. At Handyhand I not only had the chance to learn about that, but I have also been considered valuable to take part in the meetings the company had in terms of growth and fundings which they are aiming for. I consider this was ideal for me as I am planning to build my own mobile business in the next years."

Spuddle

Spuddle is developing a Duolingo-style app for Excel to help young professionals boost their digital confidence and career readiness by turning complex skills into fun, bite-sized learning. Our secret sauce? Gamification, microlearning, and a community-driven approach that makes Excel something you actually want to practice. Across the world, more than a billion people use Excel and yet most have never been taught how to use it properly. For young professionals and recent graduates, this creates a huge barrier: they’re expected to “just know” Excel, but in reality many feel insecure, waste time on manual tasks, or miss out on opportunities because of weak digital skills. This gap affects productivity, confidence, and employability and it’s widespread across industries, especially in early career roles where Excel is a daily tool. We’re building a mobile app that makes learning Excel engaging and accessible, like Duolingo, but for spreadsheets. Instead of long, boring tutorials, users complete short, gamified exercises that fit into their everyday routines. The app adapts to their level, rewards progress, and helps them practice consistently until Excel becomes second nature. Beyond Excel, our vision is to expand into other workplace tools, becoming the go-to microlearning platform for digital skills. Spuddle started as a side project on social media. We shared quick Excel tips on Instagram and TikTok, and within six months had over 200,000 followers. The overwhelming response showed us just how many young professionals struggle with these skills and how much they crave accessible, fun learning. What began as a hobby quickly grew into a mission: to make digital skills education less intimidating and more empowering. We’re building Spuddle because we’ve lived the problem ourselves, and we believe mastering the basics should feel motivating, not overwhelming.

Son of a Tailor

Since the beginning of mass production a hundred years ago, the clothing industry has not treated its people, products or our planet well. The arrival of e-commerce, with its increased return rates and squeezed margins, only caused worse conditions and more waste in an already careless industry. Son of a Tailor has changed this. Through technology and a lean supply chain, we are fundamentally changing how apparel is made. We have no inventories, always do custom fit on demand, we create much less waste, and reconnect the link between those who make the garments and those who wear them. We are a tech-forward fashion company. We have 100,000+ customers around the world, a fantastic team in Denmark and Portugal and we get great reviews by GQ, Esquire, Trustpilot and Highsnobiety.
