About five years ago, four tech entrepreneurs spotted a huge interest in yarn; Our growth journey started back in 2016 and consisted of four young guys and a pallet of yarn. They started to supply yarn and inspiration to knitting and crocheting enthusiasts around the world, and we haven’t looked back since. That developed into an adventure which so far has led us to the prestigious Børsen Gazelle award as Denmark's fastest growing company in 2020! 🥇 The recipe behind all of this is about us having fun and delivering results - often in that order!

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.

La Cabra Coffee is a modern coffee company established in Aarhus, Denmark in 2012. We started in a small shop far from the city centre, a dedicated team aiming to offer something new and exciting to Aarhus, which already had a strong and established coffee culture. Quickly, this dedication to providing outstanding coffee experiences turned into obsession with a fast growing industry that was slowly spanning the globe. Curious about what lay further down the coffee chain, we threw ourselves into sourcing and roasting our own coffee, our own way, in 2013. Part of the advantage of growing in a small town is the lack of external influence, allowing us to forge an honest and novel approach to coffee. This honesty and dedication led to a reputation at home in Aarhus, where a passionate team still runs our coffee bar and bakery. Attention also began to trickle in from further afield, and today La Cabra is a widely recognised and sought after coffee roaster; we are proud to be working with many valued and quality driven wholesale partners to create bright and transparent coffee experiences in cities across the globe, and with dedicated home users and subscribers in more than 60 countries. Over the past few years we have further expanded our coffee horizons, moving to our larger roastery in Copenhagen, and opening our first international locations in New York, Bangkok and Dubai.

Mybanker er en dansk virksomhed, der arbejder på at bygge bro mellem borger, samfund og banksektoren. Med vores service kan du gratis få tilbud fra flere banker i én ansøgning og vi har gjort det hurtigt og nemt at foretage bankskiftet, når vi har fundet det rigtige match til dig. I 20 år har vi oversat snørklede bankbegreber til let forståeligt sprog. Det fortsætter vi med. Vi vil nemlig gerne gøre danskerne endnu bedre til at forstå deres økonomi, så de kan investere deres penge rigtigt, få råd til den rigtige bolig, og tage styringen over deres finanser. Mybanker er en gratis service for brugerne. Vi bliver betalt af bankerne, hvis vi henviser en ny kunde. Alle banker betaler den samme pris, så Mybanker har ingen interesser i at anbefale én bank over en anden. Vi fremlægger blot mulighederne for dig som bruger og kun hvis vi finder en god løsning som du vælger, tjener vi penge. Det kalder vi en win-win. I 2022 fik Mybanker nye ejere. Mybanker blev købt af den norske mediekoncern Schibsted, som også ejer Lendo, DBA og Bilbasen. Herefter startede et samarbejde mellem Mybanker og Lendo om at give danskerne de bedste muligheder for at finde det bedste lån og bank, der matcher deres behov og ønsker. Mybanker er derved en del af Lendo Group og sammen arbejder begge virksomheder tæt sammen for at give alle deres kunder det bedste grundlag for at tage den bedste beslutning, når det kommer til boligfinansiering, lån, bankskifte, osv. I Mybanker har vi tilsammen hundredvis af års erfaring med finansbranchen. Derfor ser vi det som vores pligt at råbe vagt i gevær, når vi ser, at der er noget galt. Vi har fx givet vores besyv med, da politikerne behandlede aftalen om et ÅOP-loft på kviklån. Mybanker har en unik markedsposition, da vi både arbejder tæt med finanssektoren og vores brugere: Bankkunden. Det giver os et unikt perspektiv og datagrundlag, som vi benytter til at analysere på markedsmekanismerne og nuancere komplekse finansielle emner. Vi arbejder konstant med at skabe gennemsigtighed og simplificere det komplicerede ift. privatøkonomi og bliver ofte anvendt af de danske medier som ekspertkilde. Du vil måske have set os i pressen, hvor vi sidste år var citeret mere end 500 gange.

JoDis Shoes is a Danish based business, established in 2016, but our team comes with more than 20 years of experience with designing and producing fashionable, quality shoes. This then also means that we, in all humbleness, are quite skilled at crafting shoes with a perfect fit for your feet. This is reflected in an extremely high customer satisfaction. We have a very low return rate, compared to the industry average, whilst the customer feedback is that the shoes they order, also fit when they wear them for the first time. The fashion industry experience is that for web shops, the vast majority of the goods are returned. Our experience is the opposite with our products. We produce shoes, fitting the times we find ourselves in, based on the virtues and trends defined by our own customers. In practice, this means that our shoes are in fact designed by our customers - spanning from trendsetters, influencers to your general society women, curious to collaborate with us. In 2021 this means that first of all, our shoes are developed on sustainability principles, and next they must reflect a self conscious, accessible and independent women. Shoes that matches the life you want to live, where you easily jump from pumps to boots, from feeling trendy to feeling natural. Sustainable production methods are natural ingredients of our strategy, and hence part of our foundation. At JoDis we do our outmost to think and act in a sustainable conscious manor at all levels of the supply chain, and thus play an active role in the wellbeing of our planet.
