We are a team of experts and entrepreneurs. We spent years in the financial industry and in the startup ecosystem of Europe. Through the years we have seen startups fail and succeed — and one determining factor of their fate has been repeatedly their access to capital. A good idea, a good team or the right timing are important determinant of the success rate, but if there is no fuel in the form of capital and cash flow, no matter how great the idea, the company will fail. Startups and companies often turn to angel investors, venture funds or accelerators to supply growth, however for this they would have to give up large chunks of ownership of their companies, chunks that could be worth a lot more with time. On the other hand, investors wouldn’t provide capital unless there is market validation in the form of paying customers. Applying for loans at commercial banks is tough. The application process takes months and approval rates are low. Personal guarantees, collaterals, securities, and additional fees apply. All these forms of financing don’t support the growth trajectory of an early business — they come with too many terms and conditions, restrictions and legal mumbo-jumbo. Our solution: Kvikk. With our network of investors, we raised a small fund that enables us to discover and fund promising early businesses — and work with them on the long term. With public and private data banks we built a machine learning based assessment algorythm that classifies businesses based on data retrieved through commercial, payment and analytics APIs.

evolvT facilitates responsibility for local micro and small e-commerce operators by providing environmentally friendly last-mile delivery solutions. The service includes all delivery aspects from route planning and customer service to a fleet of low tailpipe emissions vehicles. The impact of the industry on the environment is one of the most important drivers of change. In this field, 1 standard diesel van can release around 1.2 metric tons of CO2 every month. The end customers are more sensitive to this impact and more inclined to choose e-commerce operators that are working on decreasing the CO2 emissions of their operations. Meanwhile, efficiency and profitability are still prioritized by the e-commerce operators and overlooking these factors is not an option.

✅ 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.

NP CARES. Functional Medicine Meets Emotional Safety The first Functional Medicine platform turning nervous-system calm, lab data, and real food into one integrated healing system. (Behind every feature lies a deeper mission to help people feel safe in their bodies again.) Most people don’t fail their healing. They just get lost between appointments confused, overwhelmed, and alone. NP CARES was built for that space in between. It’s a digital ecosystem that connects Functional Medicine, emotional regulation, and Mediterranean living through one clear mission: to make healing human again. The app helps users track daily energy, focus, and calm turning nervous-system awareness into a lifestyle. Inside the free community, people can share progress, learn simple rituals, and rebuild self-trust one day at a time. When they’re ready to go deeper, they can access premium programs including the 10-Day Reset, Detox Program, DNA Nutrition Plan, and 12-Week Transformation — all integrating functional lab testing (GI-MAP, DUTCH, DNA Life, Metabolomix) with real food, mindset tools, and step-by-step nervous-system repair. The platform is built on Passion.io, integrated with Zapier and ManyChat, and already live with 124 downloads and two UK doctors interested in collaboration. NP CARES has early traction and a growing audience of health-conscious individuals and professionals who are seeking a calm, data-driven alternative to the chaos of conventional wellness. We’re now looking for helping hands people who want to grow something meaningful from the ground up. Developers who can refine the UX and backend automations. Marketing and operations minds who understand storytelling, community, and health tech. At this stage, we’re looking for individuals who want to contribute for experience and passion and grow with the project as revenue builds. The goal is to form a small, mission-driven team that believes in long-term impact, not quick exits. The bigger vision is bold: To become the leading integrative health platform in Europe, bridging science and soul through partnerships with clinics, retreats, and hotels and to later expand globally into longevity, performance, and emotional health. NP CARES isn’t another wellness app. It’s a movement toward connection, calm, and clarity using the best of Functional Medicine and neuroscience to help people feel safe in their bodies again. Because the future of health isn’t more information. It’s integration.
