Founders is a startup studio. Together with exceptional entrepreneurs, we build companies from scratch and scale them as independent companies when they gain traction. Whether it’s a bank for freelancers, a way to kill the pain of doing expenses or reimagining life in cities, we are always on the lookout for opportunities to improve the way people work and live. We created Founders in 2012 because we strongly believed there was a better way to build tech companies. Our vision then and now is to refine a model that enables us to co-found successive companies on a single platform that gets smarter with each success and failure. We believe in launching early and iterating fast, knowing that failing is just part of the process on the road to success.

BrainCapture is a Danish startup developing a revolutionary medical technology adressing the lack of access to neurological diganostics. This lack of access leads to millions of people going without diagnosis and treatment for conditions like Epilepsy. We believe this significant global issue can be addressed by applying the tools of the 21st century - smartphones, connectivity, AI and automation - to the outdated medical technology and practices currently in use. We also believe that the vast disparity in access to care represents an opportunity. We are creating an Electroencephalogram (EEG) device which is easy to use, telemedicine optimized, and AI assisted in order to offer EEG as a service. The idea of an affordable, portable, connected EEG device has matured rapidly since BrainCapture was founded in 2019. Our founding team consists of leading AI professors from DTU, a Harvard professor in Epilepsy, engineers with execution experience and strong senior investors. We have secured funding through investors and European grants. We are currently expanding the team with several profiles to take us to the next level and deliver a device and technology stack that will change the lives of millions of people all over the world. While our approach to the EEG device is novel, we are not alone. A wave of innovation is sweeping the diagnostics industry. Join us to participate in a once-in-a-generation innovation.

APXGRD is a full-service software and digital solutions studio built for SMVs, startups, and small-to-medium sized businesses that are ready to grow but need the right technical partner to get there. We exist because too many great businesses are being held back — not by a lack of ambition, but by a lack of execution. Generic agencies overpromise, off-the-shelf tools stop scaling, and disconnected systems quietly drain time and revenue. APXGRD was founded to close that gap: delivering enterprise-grade software at startup speed, with a relentless focus on stability, scalability, and tangible business outcomes. Our capabilities span the full digital stack. We build high-performance ecommerce storefronts using headless commerce and Shopify/WooCommerce architectures optimized for conversion. We design aesthetic, user-centric interfaces that reflect brand identity while maintaining peak performance across all devices. We develop native and cross-platform mobile applications leveraging the latest SDKs for fluid, responsive user experiences. And we eliminate the operational overhead that holds growing businesses back — through intelligent workflow automations and seamless API integrations that connect disparate systems, from custom middleware to complex ERP setups. What sets us apart is our obsession with outcomes over deliverables. We don't measure success by lines of code shipped — we measure it by the revenue unlocked, the hours saved, and the competitive edge gained. Every solution we build is designed to grow with the business, not against it. APXGRD is the technical partner that ambitious businesses deserve: accountable, precise, and built for the long game.

Hi, we're LYS. We’re not here to build smarter lighting products, but to enable a smarter and healthier living with light. We look beyond the lifespan of a light bulb, the aesthetics of a lamp and the technology of smart lighting systems. Instead, we focus on what should always come first — people and supporting their healthy livelihood. Just as air, food, and water, light is a natural and vital source to health. To most people, the absorption of light is an unconscious choice in life. It’s everywhere, always. But not necessarily in a healthy way. We can choose to eat better, drink less, run more… but what about the things we don’t see, but subconsciously feel? The things that can truly energise our day and make us happier and healthier. We are here to improve people’s health by enabling personal light adjusted to their inner rhythms and daily routines. Light can only be truly healthy, if it’s powered by people and the lives they live every day. So, whenever you are ready to feel the difference, we are here to help you live a healthier life with light.

Themison is a Danish health-tech company building a new kind of clinical trial platform. Every day, clinical trial site staff manage growing complexity (protocols, emails, visits, deadlines) without a system truly built for coordination. At Themison, we are creating the intelligent foundation that trial sites need. We have invested deeply in research and fieldwork to understand the reality of trial execution. Our AI tools are shaped by the needs of those on the frontlines. Our mission: streamline operations, reduce burnout, deliver operational clarity that scales revenue, and help life-saving treatments reach patients faster by accelerating their path from laboratory to market.

In this new era of Agentic AI, Themison equips trial managers and staff with the tools to lead. Together, we can accelerate the delivery of life-saving treatments, making healthcare more accessible, affordable, and patient-centered. Join us in shaping the future of clinical trials.

MiniReview is the ultimate mobile games discovery platform, helping thousands of mobile gamers find their next favorite game. Find great mobile games is close to impossible these days, as Google and Apple are financially incentivized to promote the games that generate the most revenue on Google Play and the App Store. And with thousands of games releasing monthly, developers of actual great games often have no way to compete with the massive titles dominating the industry. Recognized as one of the best Android apps by HowToMen and Android Police, MiniReview curates, reviews, tags, and categorizes the best new mobile games daily, providing unparalleled filtering options, top games posts, and community-created user ratings and collections. We also build "similar games" recommendation systems to help users discover titles they might like. Similarly, we build promotional systems to help game developers and publishers reach players looking for exactly their type of game. We've tested these systems with a few clients, but are still pre-revenue. We're now looking for a freelancer ad sales manager to help generate the first real revenue. We've always been massive gamers, and have personally felt the struggles of finding actual good mobile games. It's close to impossible. After creating content on YouTube for a few years as a hobby and engaging heavily on the AndroidGaming and iosgaming sub-Reddits, we built MiniReview to address the biggest problem mobile gamers face globally; being able to find games that match your preferences.

Something is wrong with how we meet new people. Meeting new people is supposed to be exciting, spontaneous and fun. Yet, datings apps have turned it into a monotonous routine. All dating apps claim to be different, but they are essentially all a speed dating game played in solo mode with a pool of strangers. It’s a game of swipe, match and “hey, what’s up” chats that rarely lead anywhere. Sometimes you miraculously get past the boring smalltalk, dodge the ghosting and actually meet! But more often than not, the date you “won” feels like a boring coffee interview. We deserve better than that. That’s why we are creating a different experience of meeting new people. What if instead of playing this speed dating game by yourself, you are playing together with your friends. Instead of the coffee date interview, it’s more like going to a spontaneous party with your close friends and bumping into a crush. If we can bring our vision for this social network to life, a spontaneous adventure of meeting new people with your friends will always be just a few clicks away.
