Koppelmann Art

Koppelmann Art is an art-based startup working with abstract macro photography and handmade ceramics. The work centers on slowing down the gaze and bringing attention to details that are often overlooked — surfaces, structures, light, and quiet moments in nature and material. The problem I’m responding to isn’t a practical one in the traditional sense, but a perceptual one. We live in a visually loud, fast-moving world where images are consumed quickly and replaced just as fast. Much of what surrounds us is designed for efficiency rather than presence. My work offers an alternative - a moment when nothing is needed from you. My art invites people to pause, look closer, and give space for their imagination to flow fostering a calmer, more attentive way of living. Through macro photography, familiar natural elements are transformed into abstract compositions that create space for interpretation rather than explanation. The ceramics follow the same principle — tactile, functional objects made with care, precision, and respect for material and process. Both mediums aim to bring a sense of quiet quality into everyday environments, whether that’s a home, a workspace, or a clinical setting. I started Koppelmann Art to build a sustainable artistic practice where quality, craftsmanship, and longevity matter more than speed or trends. The goal is to create art and objects that people choose and live with for a long time, acting as an anchor they can return to — visually and physically — in the rush of their daily lives.

Much

Legal can be a bit... much. Shareholder agreements. Questions from stakeholders. Basic compliance. And so on. It's a lot to handle for a single person, especially when you're trying to build a company. Much proactively helps you stay on top of your legal operations by understanding your business and working where you are, without the chaos of multiple tools or systems. Every time you think "this is too much"... well, you know where to go. We're a pre-seed startup with 4 founders, building something genuinely useful for founders and legal teams who are drowning in operational complexity.

Tapp

Tapp is developing a software-only POS suite—tap-on-phone payments, eshop self-order, Native AI data platforms, and AI-assisted menu/setup - to help small UK service businesses ditch expensive hardware POS, solve slow service and rising operating costs, and stay compliant by default, powered by our ultra-fast UX, AI onboarding, leading AI features, and embedded payments. Independent cafés, massage parlors, and any other service spots are squeezed by hardware terminals, clunky back-office flows, and staffing shortages—which translates to slower turnover, longer queues, and lost revenue. Operators also face VAT/receipt/tips complexity and card-data obligations that traditional POS doesn’t simplify. The market is crowded, but legacy and “one-size-fits-all” tools still mean slow UI, multi-minute setup, and rigid pricing. Our analysis of UK-relevant providers shows many still require dedicated hardware or fragmented QR solutions—creating cost, training, and integration friction for small teams. Whilst providing insights on all the data collected, without the user having to ask. Tapp replaces boxes and paper with a phone-first POS: - Tap-to-Pay on iPhone & Android: take contactless cards/Wallets directly on staff or owner smartphones—no reader required. Fully productised in our “Staff” flow. - QR self-order, eshop & pay: guests scan, order, tip, and receive receipts digitally; staff stay focused on giving the best service, not card machines. - AI onboarding & menu import: snap a menu or upload a file; Tapp auto-parses categories/items, generates a store description, and lets owners tweak with guardrails (VAT, pricing, tags, duration). - Built-in compliance for UK SMBs: support for e-receipts, VAT invoice scenarios, and transparent tip/service handling—plus card-data best-practice via our payments stack. - Embedded payments on Adyen: unified acquiring, wallet rails, refunds/chargebacks, payouts, and potential embedded finance/share—with clear IC++ economics and SoftPOS fees. - Elite performance: our internal tests show UX runs 2.7× faster LCP and 3.3× less blocking than a leading competitor—keeping staff in “flow” during rush. Why this wins: zero hardware CAPEX, minutes-not-weeks deployment, faster service cycles, and fewer receipt/VAT/tips headaches—all in a single app the team already knows how to use (their phone). Feature depth is production-ready across signup/KYC, menu, staff, orders, payout views, and refunds per our shipped user stories. Whilst (soon) providing industry-breaking intelligence to make the small merchants play in the big leagues. We started Tapp after watching small venues spend too much on terminals and too long wrestling slow software—only to still miss orders at peak. We dug into the UK compliance tangle (VAT, receipts, tips) and saw a chance to bake the rules into the workflow, not bolt them on. Then we validated the experience with hard performance data and a best-in-class payments partner so owners can serve more customers with less kit and less stress. That’s why we’re doing this: give time back to small operators with a POS that is fast, compliant, and delightfully simple.

FairByggePris

FairByggePris is developing an AI-powered service that helps property owners and professionals analyze contractor offers to identify errors, hidden costs, and overpriced items with unmatched speed and accuracy. Construction projects are often delayed or become more expensive because contractor offers are complex, inconsistent, and difficult to compare. Many clients – from private homeowners to housing associations and municipalities – lack the technical expertise to assess whether a bid is fair and complete. This problem is widespread: every year billions are spent on construction in Denmark alone, and a significant share of these projects suffer from budget overruns or disputes due to unclear or incomplete offers. The lack of transparency creates mistrust and unnecessary financial risk. FairByggePris applies AI to automatically analyze contractor offers. The system parses PDF or digital bids, compares them against structured industry data (such as Molio standards), and highlights missing items, hidden costs, or inflated pricing. Instead of relying on manual review by expensive consultants, users can within minutes receive a clear, data-driven analysis showing whether the bid is fair and where they should ask critical questions before signing. Over time, the system becomes smarter by learning from thousands of analyzed offers. The idea came from repeated experiences with how opaque and inconsistent contractor offers can be. Many homeowners and organizations enter construction projects without knowing if they are overpaying or missing critical details, leading to stress and unexpected costs. We started FairByggePris to give clients confidence and clarity. By using AI and structured construction data, we can finally make it easy for everyone to check their bids and avoid expensive mistakes.

ParkNotice

ParkNotice er en dansk startup, der digitaliserer parkeringsafgifter. Hvert år udstedes over en halv million parkeringsbøder i Danmark, men processen er stadig analog og papirbaseret. Vi vil gøre det smartere, hurtigere og mere brugervenligt for både bilister og parkeringsselskaber. Med ParkNotice kan bilister modtage deres parkeringsafgifter digitalt — via app, e-Boks, SMS eller push-besked — så de undgår papir på bilruden, forsinkede breve eller bøder, der forsvinder. Samtidig sparer parkeringsselskaber og kommuner tid, penge og papir. Løsningen kan på sigt udvides til andre typer af bøder, men vi starter med parkeringsbøder, hvor problemet er størst og mest presserende.
