Bellis

Bellis is developing a direct-to-consumer travel experience platform to help local tourism businesses sell experiences and gift cards directly to travelers, solving the problem of high commissions, lost customer relationships, and generic discovery on traditional booking platforms — powered by low fees, strong data ownership, and an AI-driven discovery layer. The tourism and experience economy is dominated by large global booking platforms and deal sites that take high commissions (often 15–30%), control customer data, and prioritize volume over relevance. For local hotels, inns, attractions, and experience providers, this results in shrinking margins, limited ownership of customer relationships, and heavy dependence on third-party platforms for visibility and sales. At the same time, travelers face a different but related problem: discovering authentic, local experiences is surprisingly difficult. Recommendations are often generic, paid placements dominate results, and users must jump between many different platforms to plan a trip. The result is a disconnect between what travelers want — personal, meaningful experiences — and how experiences are distributed online today. This problem affects a large and fragmented market: thousands of small and mid-sized tourism businesses across Denmark (and beyond), and millions of travelers each year looking for better inspiration and simpler booking flows. Despite digitalization, much of the value is extracted by intermediaries rather than staying with the local hosts who create the experiences. Bellis solves this by acting as a direct booking and discovery layer between travelers and local hosts. For travelers, Bellis is a single place to discover, save, and buy experiences and gift cards directly from hosts — without hidden markups or confusing redirects. Discovery is curated and increasingly personalized through an AI travel assistant that understands structured tourism data and recommends experiences based on interests, companions, timing, and location. For hosts, Bellis is not a traditional OTA. There are no setup fees, subscriptions, or long-term lock-ins. Partners only pay a low transaction fee when they actually make a sale. Bellis provides the infrastructure — checkout, gift cards, partner dashboards, analytics, and server-side tracking — while hosts retain control over pricing, branding, and customer relationships. A key part of the solution is measurement and data transparency. Bellis ensures that marketing and traffic can be tracked and optimized even when bookings happen in external systems, allowing partners to understand real performance and invest confidently in direct sales. Bellis started from first-hand experience working closely with tourism businesses and seeing how much value was lost to intermediaries. Again and again, great local hosts struggled to make direct sales while paying high commissions to platforms that added little beyond distribution. At the same time, as travelers ourselves, we felt how impersonal and repetitive travel discovery had become — even in a country full of unique places and passionate hosts. The inspiration came from Denmark’s Marguerite Route: guiding people away from the highways and toward hidden gems. Bellis is the digital version of that idea. The motivation is simple: keep more value local, make discovery feel human again, and give both travelers and hosts tools that work in their favor — not against them.

Nerdværket – Vi skaber lys i nørdekulturen Beskrivelse: Nerdværket er en dansk e-commerce virksomhed med fokus på tech-gadgets, nørdekultur og kreative lysprodukter. Vi specialiserer os i unikke, programmerbare LED-pixel displays og RGB-lamper, der kan tilpasses med pixel art, animationer, tekst og visuelle effekter via app-styring. Vores sortiment omfatter også gaming-gear, Dungeons & Dragons-inspirerede produkter og udvalgte nørdegadgets, som kombinerer funktionalitet, æstetik og underholdning. Problemet vi løser Markedet for nørdekultur og tech-gadgets i Danmark er fragmenteret. Mange produkter er enten: Dårligt oversat/importeret uden dansk support. Kun tilgængelige fra udenlandske webshops med lange leveringstider, høje fragtomkostninger og ingen garanti. Lavkvalitets kopiprodukter uden dokumentation eller ordentlig kundeservice. For tech-interesserede, gamere og kreative sjæle betyder det, at man ofte skal gå på kompromis med kvalitet, service og tryghed, når man vil købe unikke produkter – især hvis man ønsker nichevarer som programmerbare LED-displays eller D&D-merchandise. Vores løsning Nerdværket løser dette ved at: Tilbyde nøje udvalgte, kvalitetsgodkendte produkter – testet for funktion, holdbarhed og brugervenlighed. Garantere hurtig levering i Danmark – uden lange ventetider eller skjulte toldgebyrer. Skabe lokal support og vejledninger – med dansk produktbeskrivelse, guides og videoinstruktioner. Kombinere tech og kreativitet – med produkter, der både er praktiske, dekorative og en del af nørdkulturen. Kurateret sortiment – vi udvælger kun produkter, vi selv ville bruge, hvilket sikrer autenticitet og relevans. Hvorfor Nerdværket? Vi er selv en del af målgruppen – passionerede nørder, gamere og tech-entusiaster. Vi forstår, hvad kunderne leder efter, og vi ved, hvor frustrerende det er at skulle importere produkter uden at vide, om de lever op til forventningerne. Med Nerdværket får kunderne: Tryghed gennem danske retur- og reklamationsregler. Personlig service fra folk, der kender produkterne. Eksklusivitet via produkter, som ikke findes i almindelige butikker. Fællesskab gennem events, guides og sociale medier, hvor vi deler pixel art, setup-inspiration og nørd-nyheder. Marked og målgruppe Vi retter os mod tre primære segmenter: Tech-entusiaster – der elsker gadgets, smarte lysløsninger og digital kreativitet. Gamere & streamere – der vil optimere deres setup med visuelt imponerende elementer. Nørdekultur-fællesskabet – D&D-spillere, cosplayere og kreative sjæle, som ønsker at udtrykke deres passion visuelt. Vision Vi ønsker at være Danmarks foretrukne brand inden for tech-gadgets og nørdekultur. Vores mål er ikke bare at sælge produkter, men at bygge et fællesskab – et sted, hvor teknologi, kreativitet og passion mødes. På længere sigt ønsker vi at udvide med: Egne produktlinjer inden for LED-pixel displays og nørdegadgets. Workshops og events for DIY-entusiaster. Fysiske pop-up butikker ved messer og events i Danmark. Hvorfor nu? Markedet for LED-pixel displays, nørdegadgets og custom gaming gear er i vækst – drevet af streamingkultur, TikTok-trends, e-sports popularitet og en stigende interesse for personlig indretning med tech. Ved at kombinere lokal tilstedeværelse, hurtig levering og autentisk produktudvalg, kan Nerdværket udfylde et hul på det danske marked og samtidig opbygge en stærk brandloyalitet. 📌 Kort sagt: Nerdværket gør det nemt og trygt at få fingrene i unikke tech-gadgets og LED-pixel displays i Danmark – uden kompromis på kvalitet, levering eller service. Vi er her for at give lys, farver og kreativitet til alle, der elsker teknologi og nørdekultur.

Spontanique

Spontanique is a platform where venues can list last-minute availability in seconds and reach spontaneous bookers - with no upfront cost or added friction. Every day, cultural, fitness, and entertainment venues lose revenue due to last-minute cancellations and unsold capacity. These unfilled spots go unnoticed by people who might have attended - if they’d only known. Our customers are experience providers (gyms, studios, theatres, tour operators, venues etc.) that rely on consistent bookings. Many lack the tools or reach to market last-minute openings, and that results in economic inefficiency. On the consumer side, people are increasingly spontaneous - they book based on mood and availability, often just hours in advance. But the market isn’t built for them. We’re solving both problems: wasted capacity for venues and a lack of spontaneous discovery for consumers. We give customers a live feed of discounted experiences they can book right now, across categories like fitness, entertainment, wellness, and events. It’s seamless for partners (fully self-serve) and exciting for customers - who get access to great experiences that would otherwise be lost. We turn empty spots into revenue and spontaneous moments into opportunities. Our platform functions like a “Too Good To Go” for experiences - a win-win for both businesses and customers.
