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 Instead of settling for outdated forums, clunky Facebook groups, or apps not designed for platonic connection, we decided to build a better solution ourselves.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.

Embla

Most weight loss programs treat a complex problem as a simple one. We don't. Weight is shaped by genetics, hormones, habits, psychology, relationships and the life you actually live. Embla builds care around all of it - medication as the starting point, structured behavioural coaching and a dedicated care team as the thing that makes it last. We started as a weight loss clinic in Copenhagen. Today our method is published, presented internationally and delivered across continents, with results among the strongest in the field. Our focus now is the United States, where our teams travel across the country to build the partnerships that put this care in front of the people who need it. Who you'd be working with Engineers, designers and data people, sitting alongside doctors, nurses, health coaches and psychologists. Not as a service function - as the same team. Clinicians shape the product. Engineers sit in on care discussions. You will ship things that a coach uses on Monday and a member feels on Tuesday. We are ambitious about outcomes and relaxed about everything else. Direct feedback, low ego, high trust, and a real sense of humour about the hard days. Where we're going Treating obesity is where we started. Preventing it is where this goes. The same care model that reverses metabolic disease can stop it from taking hold in the first place, and that is the future we are building towards - a healthier one, at a scale that actually moves the numbers. Obesity care is being rebuilt right now, and most of what gets built will be thin. We are going the other way. The molecule is the starting point. The care is the medicine. Come build it with us.

Pleaz

Pleaz is a Danish Startup, which encourages forward-thinking companies to work with sustainable health.

Small steps over time create big changes and international companies have already shown that thousands of healthy breaks make the difference. With video-guided content found in a few clicks, it has never been easier to implement a scientifically proven solution that impacts well-being.

Go Dogo

Go Dogo offers deep-tech products that help dog parents keep their dogs mentally healthy. Dogs need mental stimulation to stay healthy. The stimulation should be based on both owner-facilitated and owner-independent challenges. The owner-facilitated mental stimulation (different types of training) is critically important, as it is not just mental stimulation - it builds and continuously strengthens the human-dog bond. Solving owner-independent challenges on the other hand is extremely important because it boosts the dog's self esteem and self confidence, which is crucial in order to prevent many behaviour problems, such as insecurity, anxiety, aggression, in-door soiling, excessive barking/whining, destructive behavior and canine depression. Available solutions that may provide owner-independent mental workout are low-tech products made out of wood, plastic, cloth or a combination. They are typically about moving or pushing or clawing at something to find or release a hidden treat. They are not giving any instructions or feedback and they have no progression - so they are usually either too easy or too difficult. If too easy, the dog does not get a whole lot of mental workout - and if too difficult the dog tends to give up fast, and hence does still not get the desired mental workout. The solution is our Go Dogo! Go Dogo uses the home TV to give the needed instructions and feedback and it dispenses treats as rewards when the dog does an exercise correct - or in some situations to support the motivation to keep trying. Computer vision enables Go Dogo to recognise the dogs movements, and the intelligent software adapts to each dog individually and only gradually increases the level of difficulty to ensure adequate mental stimulation. Please, go visit our home page to see some of our videos of dogs playing Go Dogo.

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.

Venture Insights

Denmark records what most countries can only estimate. Every company files its ownership, its capital changes, its management and its accounts in the public registers, continuously and by law. The registers are records, not answers. More than 825,000 companies own one another, up to nineteen levels deep. One business appears as many legal entities, and its investors sit several tiers above it. Venture Insights builds and operates Bifrost, the model that resolves that network into one structure: every firm, founder, investor and transaction, dated to the legal transaction date and traceable to the filing it came from. Focused deliberately on Denmark, it identifies roughly ten times as many priced investment deals as the leading international platforms. Institutions use it where the numbers have to hold, among them the Danish Business Authority, the Confederation of Danish Industry, EIFO and Copenhagen Fintech. Filed, not announced. Population, not sample. Exact, not estimated. ventureinsights.dk
