BuddyUp Social

BuddyUp Social is a social discovery platform helping adults in Denmark—especially expats and newcomers—find meaningful connections through shared interests and real-life events. We’re solving the problem of adult social isolation by making it easy to create, join, and engage in hobby-based meetups, all through one intuitive app. Making friends as an adult can be surprisingly difficult. Whether you're a Dane moving to a new city or an expat starting fresh in Denmark, it’s common to feel socially disconnected. Many adults don’t know where to start when it comes to meeting new people outside of work, dating apps, or closed social circles. This problem is widespread and well-documented—especially in Denmark, where surveys consistently show that many internationals struggle with social integration, and even locals describe it as awkward to make new friends past a certain age. We’re tackling this head-on by making socializing more accessible, interest-based, and low-pressure. BuddyUp Social is designed to break down the barriers of adult friendship and create opportunities for spontaneous, real-world connection. Whether it’s joining a hike, hosting a board game night, attending a ceramics class, or finding a casual pub quiz crew, BuddyUp is all about connecting people who are "up for it"—with no pressure, no awkward messaging phase, and no algorithms getting in the way. Unlike traditional social platforms focused on digital interaction, BuddyUp is built around real-life meetups. Users can explore and join events happening near them, or create their own. Events can be public or invite-only, recurring or one-off, and are always centered around shared hobbies or interests. The app also welcomes collaborations with local businesses, allowing them to showcase open community events, bringing even more variety and accessibility to users. We’re launching in Denmark first—starting with Copenhagen and Aarhus—before expanding to similar cities across Europe. The idea behind BuddyUp was born from personal experience. As someone who returned to Denmark after years abroad, and with friends struggling to meet people after relocating, it became clear how socially challenging adulthood can be. We kept hearing the same story: “I’d love to meet new people, but I just don’t know how or where.” Instead of settling for outdated forums, clunky Facebook groups, or apps not designed for platonic connection, we decided to build a better solution ourselves. BuddyUp is more than an app—it’s a movement to make adult friendship and community-building normal, easy, and enjoyable again. We’re passionate about creating a product that helps people feel less alone and more empowered to take the first step toward new friendships. We believe that real-life connections are essential for personal happiness and social wellbeing—and we’re here to make those moments happen.

Magnet

Magnet is a pioneering platform transforming how SMEs manage their digital tool subscriptions. As businesses increasingly rely on SaaS tools, keeping track of costs, renewals, and unused licenses has become a major challenge. With the global SaaS market projected to reach nearly $1 trillion by 2030, the need for efficient subscription management has never been greater.

Our platform streamlines the entire process by collecting and connecting all necessary data for a fully automated, real-time dashboard of subscriptions. Magnet reads, understands, and categorizes invoices received via email, identifies related bank transactions, and matches them for complete accuracy. Real-time insights and smart notifications ensure businesses only pay for what they truly need, highlighting savings opportunities, renewal deadlines, and changes to their stack. Backed by Antler and EIFO, Magnet is redefining subscription management with automation, transparency, and ease of use.

IoT Fabrikken

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.
