EcoTree is a green-tech company specializing in sustainability. Our goal is to promote environmental awareness and engage individuals and businesses in eco-friendly behaviour by offering simple, concrete, and financially viable solutions to becoming a tree or even forest owner. Every single day 3.4 billion tons of CO2 is released into the atmosphere worldwide. In Europe, we are among the worst polluters in the world. While we can do a lot to reduce our emissions, it is impossible to stay completely CO2 neutral. You can, in turn, offset your carbon footprint by planting trees. As a matter of fact, the forest is one of our best means to fight global warming, as trees absorb CO2 through the process of photosynthesis. EcoTree has democratized and digitalized forestry. With EcoTree, it is easy and accessible both for individuals and businesses to contribute to the reforestation and preservation of our common green heritage. EcoTree enables everybody to become a tree owner. EcoTree has a team of forest experts that take care of planting and maintaining the forests in which your trees are located. You, being the owner of the trees, are entitled to receive 100% of the revenue generated from the wood sale when your trees have reached maturity, cut, and the forest is renewed. EcoTree implements a “close to nature” forestry management plan in which the preservation of the biodiversity in the forest is kept at the heart of our activities, and for every tree that is cut, EcoTree plants three new ones. The idea behind EcoTree came up when a group of French childhood friends went to Copenhagen on a trip in 2014. There were many things that the group of friends adored about the Scandinavian lifestyle, but one thing that especially struck them was the well-functioning bottle deposit system. On each can, glass, or plastic bottle you purchase in Denmark you pay a small premium as a deposit that you get back when returning the empty bottles and cans to the supermarket. Consequently, the cities are clean and society more sustainable. This simple idea of rewarding sustainability led to the foundation of EcoTree. Approximately 600,000 newly planted trees later, the idea that was born in Scandinavia returns to its place of origin, as EcoTree has opened its new international office in Copenhagen in September 2019.

Affily is a UGC marketplace and collaboration platform that helps brands scale through authentic, creator-driven content. As traditional ads lose trust, brands struggle to consistently source, manage, and scale UGC creators while maintaining a clear content strategy. Creators, meanwhile, face fragmented workflows, unclear briefs, and inefficient collaboration across DMs, email, and file-sharing tools. Affily connects brands with vetted UGC creators and supports them with clear content strategies and ready-to-use content packages tailored to each brand’s goals. This ensures brands don’t just get content — they get the right content, produced consistently and optimized for performance. To support execution at scale, Affily provides a built-in collaboration workspace where brands and creators manage briefs, communication, file delivery, feedback, and approvals in one structured system. By combining strategy, a UGC marketplace, and collaboration software, Affily turns authentic content into a scalable, repeatable growth engine for modern brands.

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.

We’re building the next-generation financial planning and analysis (FP&A) platform – designed for the most ambitious finance teams. While most businesses still rely on Excel, the next generation of finance teams at companies like Les Deux, ÅBEN, and Female Invest use Francis for consolidation, forecasting, reporting, and business partnering. We’re a lean team of six, working in person from our office in Copenhagen. We move fast, aim for high quality, and keep bureaucracy to a minimum. Despite our size, we’re currently serving 400+ companies and are backed by top VCs, including PSV and ByFounders – the investors behind companies like Lovable, Pleo, and Lunar.

Rope Robotics is the developer and producer of an automatic BR-8 robot to be used as a unique repair solution for leading edges on turbine blades. Wind turbine blades need to be repaired to maintain their high performance. With manual labor turbine blades can only be repaired 20% of the time during a year due to the fact that it requires technicians to climb up with support from ropes. Using our robot to do the repair and maintenance work in the heights, we are going to expand this repair window and to improve the working environment for the technicians. We have several robot pilots in the pipeline in various places around the world and have received major funding from the EU and Danish Government.

At its core, Candeno bridges the gap between a job seeker's potential and the right opportunity, reducing manual processes, paperwork, and wasted time across the entire employment ecosystem.

At Toptutors, we inspire students to reach their full potential - no matter where they live. We are an online platform offering 1-1 tutoring in all subjects for students from 6-20 years old. In an optimal world the perfect tutor lives right around the corner, but that’s simply not the case in real life. Right now, families in many places don’t have access to quality tutors. Especially since the best tutors usually live in the university cities, so many kids never receive the help they desperately need. Toptutors is creating a category for online tutoring, where geography and transportation no longer is a problem. We want to inspire the next generation of students to reach their full potential, because we believe that anyone can learn anything with an inspiring teacher. Student and tutor share an online digital whiteboard designed for educational purposes. Our students love us, because they get an ideal learning experience from the comfort of their home. Also, we are working on an AI platform, so students anywhere can access personalized learning. We are headquartered in Copenhagen, and we've launched in Spain. We are scaling rapidly and need to increase our team.

Commercial Co-Founder is a programme designed for professionals ready to pivot out of traditional commercial roles and into high-impact roles within early-stage startups.

IoT Fabrikken was founded in 2018 by Mikkel Fischer and Jon Wichmann. However, the foundation of the company was laid long before that. The founding partners brought with them a strong track record, having previously built two highly successful tech enterprises: DIBS, a pioneer in secure online payments, which is today owned by Nets, and eSmiley, the leading provider of digital food safety solutions for professional kitchens, canteens, and hospitals across the Nordic region. Together, they share more than 25 years of in-depth expertise in developing software designed to make daily operations simpler. This experience forms the very core of IoT Fabrikken. As our name suggests, we harness the power of the Internet of Things (IoT) to remove complexity. We believe that securing vital data should be as simple as mounting a sensor that automatically finds the network and starts delivering insights. Our guiding principle is that technology must always support your daily work – it should be precise, entirely dependable, and accessible to everyone, regardless of their level of IT proficiency. Today, IoT Fabrikken operates from two offices in Denmark, located in Roskilde in the east and Hørning in the west. We also collaborate closely with dedicated partners across several countries, with Germany and Sweden standing out as two of our most significant growth markets. What started as a vision between two men has grown into a highly successful enterprise that makes a tangible difference every day. Currently, we deliver our solutions to 70 Danish municipalities, alongside a wealth of private businesses, housing associations, museums, churches, and industry advisors. We are incredibly proud that thousands of customers now rely on our system daily to support and elevate their work within facility management, space management, and cultural preservation.
