SGC - Arena

✅ 1: Short description (the pitch) SGC Arena is developing a combined TCG retail store, gaming lounge and community-driven event center to help youth, families and adult gamers find a safe, engaging and social space to play, compete and belong. We solve the lack of modern, inclusive gaming- and hobby environments by offering a 655 m² hybrid hub built around TCG, esport, community events and structured activities, powered by strong partnerships, low inventory risk and a highly scalable franchise-ready model. ✅ 2: The What – The problem we are solving Across Denmark, young people and adult hobby enthusiasts lack safe, structured and inspiring spaces to gather around gaming, TCG and shared interests. Most environments are either too small, too informal or lacking supervision, creating a gap between commercial gaming cafés and traditional youth facilities. At the same time, parents struggle to find positive, healthy gaming communities for their children, while hobby players (Pokémon, Magic, Lorcana) lack dedicated spaces for trading, events and tournaments. This problem affects: Children and teens seeking social belonging Adults looking for hobby communities Parents who want structured and safe gaming spaces TCG players who currently lack large-scale physical hubs Municipalities who need modern, engaging offers for youth Retail customers who want combined experiences, not just shops The demand is widespread and growing. TCG, gaming and event-based hobby retail are among the fastest-growing entertainment segments in Europe. Yet Denmark remains underserved with almost no large-scale hybrid centers combining retail, gaming, community and structured activities. SGC Arena fills this gap. ✅ 3: The How – How we solve it SGC Arena provides a 655 m² multi-zone environment combining: A full-service TCG retail store (Pokémon, Magic, Lorcana etc.) A high-end gaming lounge with esport setups A large event area for tournaments, competitions and community gatherings A social “hobby lounge” for trading, crafting and relaxed gaming A forening-driven model with daily structured activities Weekend programs with 500–1.000 visitors Consignationsaftaler reducing inventory risk dramatically A scalable operations manual and franchise blueprint for expansion to 3–8 locations Each weekday features structured activities through our association: Esport teams (20 participants daily) Hobby/TCG clubs (up to 40 per session) Weekends host large-scale TCG events, family activities, adult gaming evenings and trading meetups — creating predictable, high-volume traffic. The concept is built to scale: simple operational procedures, strong supplier partnerships, low-risk inventory, and a community-first structure that can be replicated nationally. ✅ 4: The Why – Our motivation SGC Arena is founded by Heinrich Dam Jensen, former owner of the esports organization Dream Gaming in Rødovre Centrum, where he built a strong and healthy gaming community in 2020. When COVID forced that project to close, it sparked a deep understanding of what young people and hobby-focused adults truly need: a safe, structured, social and modern environment that supports healthy gaming behavior and real-world connections. The vision has grown stronger since. Heinrich has a background in police, defence, leadership and youth work, and has seen firsthand how powerful gaming and structured hobbies can be when given the right environment. This is the foundation of SGC Arena: creating Denmark’s leading chain of gaming- and TCG-based community hubs. The motivation is simple: to give youth, families and adult hobbyists a place to belong — and to build a scalable, commercially strong concept that brings community and business together.

Hyre

Hyre is a car sharing company that launched the first version of the platform in 2018. We are a joint venture between Møller Mobility Group and Hyre Management, with MMG as the largest shareholder. Today we are the largest car sharing company in the Nordics with over 1600 shared cars. Quick and seamless customer journey With just one app, you can book, unlock and settle the car rental - without ever having to wait in line to pick up your car. Toll, fuel, and rental prices are automatically calculated in real time, providing you with a complete overview and eliminating time spent on administration and settlement. Our vehicles are always available and our mission is to never be more than 5 minutes away from where you are. The fleet of cars is owned and operated by Hyre witch gives us complete control over the customer journey to ensure predictable and safe access to modern cars at competitive prices. We believe in a future of shared, self-driving electric cars because: 1. The car itself changes. Today's cars are connected to the internet, enabling more efficient car sharing. Furthermore, the car is now electric and in due time it will be self-driven. 2. Demographics are changing. The car is no longer an important status symbol, and Hyre sees that today's youth do not want to own a car. People want simplicity, flexibility, and freedom. 3. Sustainability is a requirement. The way we move today is not sustainable. Even with electric cars, densification in the largest cities will force alternative solutions in people transport.

TimeLog

Over the past 20 years, TimeLog has grown. From a basement to offices in Denmark, Sweden, and Malaysia. From the goal to create the world's best time tracking tool to wanting to be Europe's leading Professional Services Automation (PSA) software provider. And we're not nearly finished growing. Or dreaming. In November 2020, the renowned software investor, Viking Venture, invested € 10 million in TimeLog. The goal of the partnership is to create a Nordic PSA power house by accelerating product development, becoming even more TimeLoggers and acquiring at least one company a year over the next five years. In March 2022, TimeLog acquired its first company: AutoPilot. AutoPilot is a market leader in Denmark used by more than half of the Danish architects, and nearly that many engineers. It covers their need for time management, resource planning, pipeline, analysis and business intelligence. The acquisition is part of a strategy to offer more niche solutions to our customers. The acquisition of AutoPilot is also the first after the investment from Viking Venture. With the acquisition, we are more than 100 employees working from offices in Copenhagen, Aarhus, Aalborg, Kuala Lumpur, London and Stockholm.

Copenhagen Float

Copenhagen float offers floating therapy, massage and body therapy in the most beautiful oasis by Nørreport. We are all subject to far too much sensory input, hectic schedules and increasingly stressful lives. The result is that most people have a dysregulated nervous system, and this takes a toll on physical and mental health. Everyone can benefit from floating, and we have a wide range of guests! People use it for muscle restitution, to alleviate symptoms of stress and anxiety, for pain management, PTSD, arthritis, sleeping disorders, skin conditions, brain fog/mental decluttering and as a powerful tool in meditation, visualization and problem-solving. Massage is a very complementary treatment, and our therapists can do wonders when working on a body that has already had 1 hour of pure blissful relaxation in the float tank. We have a focus on the customer experience, ensuring that each guest is guided through their floating experience from start to finish, and has the time and space to "land" again after their session. Our space and our service allows people to enter a new state of mind, let go of their day, and return to their body, emotions, naturally-relaxed state of being. We believe that floating has enormous potential in today's society. Our founder Shelley started to float 8 years ago in other countries and it helped her to recover from a very stressful period of her life. She was driven to open Denmark's first float space in 2019 together with experienced massage therapist Boo Hilmer.
