DSlexiAI

DSlexiAI is a Danish EdTech startup developing a desktop learning platform designed to help students get more value from teaching while spending less time manually taking notes. During lessons, the teacher’s speech can be transcribed in real time and made available to students who have access to the relevant class or subject. Students can follow the live transcription in a small desktop window and use selected sentences directly in their notes in tools such as OneNote and Word. The problem we are addressing is that many students spend a large part of lessons trying to keep up with note-taking instead of focusing on understanding what is being taught. This can be especially challenging for students who read or write more slowly, but the issue affects a much broader group of students as well. Our goal is to make teaching more accessible and help students focus more on listening, understanding and participating. Rather than replacing the student’s own notes, DSlexiAI is designed to support the note-taking process and create a structured digital record of teaching that students can return to afterwards. The product has already been tested in educational settings, including at Herningsholm and Aarhus University, and has been trialled across several classes and one study programme. We are now working on bringing the platform to more schools and educational institutions in Denmark.

Boardway

Boardway is building an AI-powered board recruitment platform that helps companies find and hire the right board members and advisors. Our secret sauce combines AI matching, board analytics, and a vetted talent network to make board hiring faster, smarter, and more diverse. Finding qualified board members is still largely driven by personal networks and referrals, making the process slow, biased, and inefficient. Companies often struggle to identify candidates with the right expertise, while experienced professionals miss opportunities because they’re outside traditional networks. Boardway uses AI to match companies with board and advisory talent based on skills, industry experience, governance expertise, and company needs. Our platform streamlines sourcing, evaluation, and hiring through a data-driven recruitment workflow. We started Boardway because we saw how outdated and exclusive board recruitment remains. We believe better access to qualified board talent leads to stronger governance, better decisions, and ultimately better companies.

KEEPR

Hos KEEPR giver vi nyt liv til brugte og frasorterede designmøbler . Stole, lamper eller vaser der i jagten på det perfekte er blevet valgt fra på grund af nye trends eller mindre skønhedsfejl. Det kan være 2. sorteringsmøbler med en afvigelse i farvenuance, møbler fra tidligere kollektioner, der ikke passer ind i næste kollektions trend eller udstillingsmøbler fra showrooms med mindre brugsspor. Vi gør op med tanken om det perfekte og sætter fokus på skønheden i skønhedstegn. Skønhed der viser, at møblerne har levet et liv – og at der bag hver enkel stol og vase gemmer sig sjæl og omhyggeligt designhåndværk. Vores mission er at sætte flere smukke, frasorterede designmøbler i cirkulation og gøre godt design tilgængelig for endnu flere mennesker.

HelloFlow

Customer onboarding is a central piece of the overall client journey as it is often the first experience that clients go through. It is however also a process fraught with complexity and ever-changing rules and regulations. At its core, a process that needs to satisfy relatively opposite forces - compliance/regulation and customer/user experience. The best proven way of tackling this problem is to build a sleek user experience and use the latest digital identity services to shorten the process as much as possible. The issue with this is that it can take months to implement just a single identity service and from that point making future changes would require even further development resources. HelloFlow is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) company that was started to explore ways of solving this issue. Our founders had previously been met with a similar situation when they were asked to implement onboarding solutions for some of Europe’s largest companies. The essence of the platform is that it combines two functionalities: 1. an easy way to create and adjust an onboarding “flow” and 2. a service infrastructure that allows a given company to “drag and drop” identity services into their new process. What this results in, is a platform where building compliant, best-in-class digital onboarding flows can now be done in minutes, without writing a single line of code.

Keybird Instruments

Keybird Instruments is developing a lightweight acoustic piano to help piano enthusiasts play with their preferred sound (acoustic) with practicality and price comparable to that of digital pianos. Over 75% of piano players prefer an acoustic sound, yet most play digital because of price, size, and weight. We want to combine the best of both worlds. We can offer an acoustic piano that weighs only 43+ 16 kg, while only occupying half a square meter of valuable living space. It can be transported in normal cars. The first model has a slightly reduced amount of keys (just like many digital keyboards) having all the keys for pop and jazz but also most of the classical music for the first five years in music school. We thus have a strong focus on sound quality, rather than loudness, and we can reach the low price due to automated production in the worlds largest factory. We started this because we needed it for ourselves and saw the need for others. We asked all the piano enthusiasts we could reach and get the interest in our product confirmed. The huge market of acoustic and digital piano (we combine the benefits) is what keeps us on pace to provide an excellent alternative to digital piano's, which often get boring in the long run (We're just sharing our customer insights here ;)

Hebno

Hebno is an AI platform for consultancies. Consultants use it for research, drafts and decks, working from their firm's own knowledge and approved sources. Most firms already use AI, but their people jump between separate tools. Readers can't tell which claims have a real source and which are guesses, so senior consultants check everything again. With Hebno, consultants work in one place. They see the evidence behind each draft before a senior reviews it, and they save good ways of working as reusable workflows. The firm picks which AI models people can use and sees the cost per team.

CATR

CATR is an AI-powered marketplace for catering and events. On CATR you can find, order, coordinate, and handle every type of event in one place. From a department dinner for 20 to a 200-person summer party. One platform, one bill, no email chains. The problem Booking an event today is a mess. If you're an office manager planning a summer party or a department head organizing the Christmas dinner, the process is always the same. Five vendor emails. Three rounds of quotes. Scattered invoices. Last-minute scrambles. Stuff goes wrong. The industry hasn't been rethought in decades, and the only ones really benefitting from that are the legacy event agencies who charge €10k+ to coordinate what should be self-serve. I've spent 20 years in this industry. I've opened and sold restaurants. I've catered the biggest festivals in Denmark. I've run operations for thousands of guests at a time. And the same problems keep showing up: quotes that disappear, invoices nobody can find, orders nobody can track. Everyone in the industry knows the system is broken. Nobody has bothered to fix it. Why now Consumers learned to order pizza on their phone. There's no good reason they should still have to call five vendors and chase emails to plan their company summer party. And AI is finally capable enough to handle the operational complexity that crushed every previous attempt at this market. ezCater, Hungry, Foodee. They all got stuck on human-heavy operations. The future of fragmented industries is marketplaces that pull everyone into one place. Nobody has done for events and catering what DoorDash did for takeaway. The window is open right now. Where we are Multible paid MVP test events delivered. Pipeline of mid-sized Danish companies ready to onboard. New AI-first platform I'm building myself. Pre-funding, raising once cofounder is on board. Next: the wedge We're going after 20-30 selected office managers in Copenhagen first. They give us repeat usage, real GMV, and the operational learnings AI needs to scale. From there: mid-sized company events across Denmark, then every standard event, B2B and consumer, running on CATR. The longer vision covers the full lifecycle. From "let's host something" through vendor sourcing, operations, payment, and the social layer afterwards where guests get invited, share photos, and stay connected.
