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.

Homeswap

Homeswap is a platform where members can stay in each other’s homes instead of paying for accommodation. The model is built on credits: you earn credits when you host other members, and you use those credits to travel. There is no money exchanged between members, which makes the experience feel more personal, fair and community-driven than traditional renting. Travel with Homeswap feels different because you stay in real homes, in real neighbourhoods, from real people. It attracts a type of traveller who values meaning and connection over pure convenience. Many members also like the sustainable aspect – instead of building new hotels or keeping second homes empty, existing space is shared and used better. The platform has already grown organically to members in more than 20 countries. We have not relied on paid marketing so far. Growth has come through word of mouth, community recommendations and people who like the idea of travelling without paying for accommodation.

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.

We have built an engine that provides a steady stream of travel offers, which allows us to focus on growth, business development and creating value for travelers.

By removing complexity, we can focus on building trust and making travel accessible to more people. Our Vision: Our first market exploration is focused on Danish travelers.

Once validated, this foundation will serve as the launchpad for our international scaling and growth journey. We aim to build a consumer-first brand in one of the world’s biggest markets. Our ambition is to bring affordable travel to a much wider audience, combining technical strength with sustainable growth. Join Our Journey: The global travel sector holds enormous potential.

Attavik

The Challenge: Billions of people live, work, or travel in areas without reliable network coverage. When disasters strike or infrastructure fails, communication often breaks down completely. This affects rural communities, NGOs, rescue workers, military units, and travelers worldwide. Our Solution: Attavik is building a patented communication system that works both online and offline. • Our app allows users to communicate directly up to 60 meters. • Our portable Wi-Fi routers extend that range, creating local, independent networks. No internet. No satellites. No telecom infrastructure. Just reliable communication – anywhere, anytime. Why We Started: The idea was born in Greenland, where daily life often means facing poor or non-existent connectivity. Experiencing this challenge firsthand inspired us to create Attavik. Our vision is simple: nobody should be cut off from communication – whether due to geography, crisis, or fragile infrastructure. Looking Ahead: With a patented solution, strong recognition (4 Seal-of-Excellences from EU Horizon & EIC Accelerator), and growing interest across industries, Attavik is ready to move from prototype to market.

Rune Raahauge Online Coaching

Rune Raahauge Online Coaching is a tailored training and lifestyle universe that helps busy adults achieve lasting results without sacrificing life’s pleasures. We combine evidence-based training, habit change, and close personal support so our clients can enjoy a healthier life – physically, mentally, and socially. Many adults with careers, families, and active social lives struggle to prioritize their health. They jump from one quick-fix solution to another – diets, 30-day challenges, random workout programs – without achieving results that last. The problem is widespread: thousands experience stress, low energy, poor fitness, and weight gain, yet lack the structure, motivation, and solutions that fit their reality. We help break that cycle and create a sustainable lifestyle. We offer a 100% personalized online program where clients get: • A tailored training plan that fits their time, level, and goals. • A simple nutrition structure that works with their preferences and social life. • Ongoing support through chat, video, and check-ins, so they’re never left on their own. • A focus on habit change and mental strength, ensuring results that last a lifetime. Our method makes training and nutrition a tool to live better – not a punishment. Our secret sauce is the combination of human connection, simple systems, and a realistic approach that makes health achievable for ordinary people living extraordinarily busy lives. We started because, after more than 30 years in the industry as personal trainers, we’ve seen far too many people stall – not because they lack willpower, but because they lack the right plan and the right support. After working face-to-face with hundreds of clients, we saw a clear pattern: people don’t need yet another program; they need someone who understands their daily life and can help them navigate it. We wanted to create a solution that removes the confusion, makes health manageable, and gives people control over both body and mind – without forcing them to give up everything that makes life enjoyable.
