Spuddle

Spuddle is developing a Duolingo-style app for Excel to help young professionals boost their digital confidence and career readiness by turning complex skills into fun, bite-sized learning. Our secret sauce? Gamification, microlearning, and a community-driven approach that makes Excel something you actually want to practice. Across the world, more than a billion people use Excel and yet most have never been taught how to use it properly. For young professionals and recent graduates, this creates a huge barrier: they’re expected to “just know” Excel, but in reality many feel insecure, waste time on manual tasks, or miss out on opportunities because of weak digital skills. This gap affects productivity, confidence, and employability and it’s widespread across industries, especially in early career roles where Excel is a daily tool. We’re building a mobile app that makes learning Excel engaging and accessible, like Duolingo, but for spreadsheets. Instead of long, boring tutorials, users complete short, gamified exercises that fit into their everyday routines. The app adapts to their level, rewards progress, and helps them practice consistently until Excel becomes second nature. Beyond Excel, our vision is to expand into other workplace tools, becoming the go-to microlearning platform for digital skills. Spuddle started as a side project on social media. We shared quick Excel tips on Instagram and TikTok, and within six months had over 200,000 followers. The overwhelming response showed us just how many young professionals struggle with these skills and how much they crave accessible, fun learning. What began as a hobby quickly grew into a mission: to make digital skills education less intimidating and more empowering. We’re building Spuddle because we’ve lived the problem ourselves, and we believe mastering the basics should feel motivating, not overwhelming.

PharosBio

PharosBio is building an autonomous AI scientist—a platform and APIs that help biopharma and research teams reduce R&D risk by turning fragmented evidence into decisions across discovery and translation. The problem Despite billions spent on R&D, the research ecosystem runs on incomplete, siloed insight. Around 90% of drug candidates still fail in the clinic, wasting time and capital and delaying therapies for patients. This affects 4.5 million scientists across pharma, biotech, and academia who must constantly decide what to study, why it matters, and whether to proceed—with evidence that’s scattered and stale. Our solution We’re building the first agentic AI built for life sciences: a system that plans, reads, reasons, and writes like a tireless collaborator, and plugs into existing workflows via APIs. What it does • Target discovery & repurposing: surfaces novel targets and repositioning opportunities from literature and data; ranks by mechanism and evidence strength. • Translational go/no-go: aggregates preclinical and clinical signals to support milestone decisions with transparent rationales. • Scientific writing copilot: drafts systematic reviews, grant sections, IND-supporting summaries, and patent landscape briefs with citations. How it fits • Platform + APIs integrate with existing tools and pipelines. • Evidence-first UX: every recommendation is linked to sources; uncertainty is quantified. • Autonomy with control: agents run end-to-end tasks, while scientists supervise, edit, and approve. Outcomes • Faster time to insight, • Fewer dead-ends, • Higher confidence at each stage from early discovery to translation. Our motivation We’re expats who fell in love with Denmark’s research culture and collaborative ecosystem. We started PharosBio because agentic AI is powerful but under-applied where it matters most—healthcare, research, and biotech. Watching promising ideas stall for lack of clear evidence lit the spark: we want to equip every scientist with an always-on partner, so more therapies reach patients - us and our loved ones!

Sikr

Sikr is the first company specializing in Cyber Security (CS) for Small and Midsized Enterprises (SMEs). We have a product, we have a few paying customers, and we are EU-funded though the Danish National Coordination Center for Cyber Security. Which is documented at https://ncc-dk.dk/ under supported projects pool 2, and their post on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/posts/ncc-dk-danmark-cybersecurity-coordination-centre_ncc-dk-netv%C3%A6rksm%C3%B8de-05022025-save-the-activity-7282724478550241280-YCw3 "Sikr" is in Danish pronounced "sikker" which means "safe", and we own the domain sikr.it & sikr-it.dk. We have developed a platform that helps SMEs to get basic CS, in a way that is as easy for the company to implement our products, while it is very non-intrusive and hands-off for us, and while it is as cheap as possible. The problem SMEs have with CS: Complexity and Cost: Many existing IT security solutions are designed for large corporations, making them overly complex and financially out of reach for SMEs.​ Lack of Resources: SMEs often lack dedicated IT departments, leaving them vulnerable to cyber threats without adequate protection or support.​ This issue leaves smaller businesses exposed to cyber risks, with limited options for effective and manageable security solutions, that in theory could have been avoided very easily. Why does this matter? Cybersecurity is not just a concern for large corporations; SMEs are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals, which most often puts them out of business. By providing a user-friendly, and affordable security solutions, Sikr empowers smaller businesses to protect their digital assets, maintain customer trust, and ensure business continuity.

Velatir

The AI enablement layer. We make traditional companies AI-native. Nearly every organisation now runs AI somewhere. Very few run it everywhere. The pilots work; the rollout stalls. Not because the technology fails, but because nobody can see what’s happening, nobody owns it, and every next step needs a review. We are the infrastructure that removes friction. We give organisations full visibility into how AI is actually used, protection that works in the flow of work rather than in a policy document, and guidance that turns occasional users into capable ones.
