Since the beginning of mass production a hundred years ago, the clothing industry has not treated its people, products or our planet well. The arrival of e-commerce, with its increased return rates and squeezed margins, only caused worse conditions and more waste in an already careless industry. Son of a Tailor has changed this. Through technology and a lean supply chain, we are fundamentally changing how apparel is made. We have no inventories, always do custom fit on demand, we create much less waste, and reconnect the link between those who make the garments and those who wear them. We are a tech-forward fashion company. We have 100,000+ customers around the world, a fantastic team in Denmark and Portugal and we get great reviews by GQ, Esquire, Trustpilot and Highsnobiety.

Zilo is a Danish content editor built for the AI search era. AI Overviews have arrived in Denmark: 56.9% of the 850 Danish keywords we measured ourselves now trigger one. Yet the established content tools are all built English-first - none of them are anchored in the Danish SERP. Zilo scores your text live while you write, against two yardsticks at once. The SEO score benchmarks against the pages actually ranking in the Danish top 10 for your keyword. The AI citability score measures whether your text covers the facts that AI Overviews and the SERP actually cite. Both are fully explainable: open weights, evidence behind every component - and a suggestion is only shown if it measurably lifts the score. From analysis to deliverable: traffic value in kroner, prioritized next actions, shareable briefs, and publishing straight to WordPress - no plugin required. Built in Denmark by Mads Nordskov (19 years in SEO, founder of Passioness). Currently in closed beta with Danish SEO professionals.

Swöm is a Nordic safety tech startup addressing drowning, one of the leading causes of death. Through the use of sensor and wearable airbag technology we have developed smart swimwear which automatically inflates in a potential drowning situation. Our initial product focus on children with plans for further expansion into the active water lifestyle segments (surfers, swimmers, kayakers etc) through licensing of our technology to leading brands across the globe. We have over a 3 year R&D period developed a unique and patent pending wearable safety hardware platform and are now in the process of starting commercialisation as well as developing version two which includes the introduction of space tech to add a tracking and alarm feature to the product. Our funding comes from both investors as well as grants. We were born in the incubation program at the VC Antler and have received grants for instance from the European Space Agency and the Danish Innovation fund. Our headquarters are based at the DTU campus in Kongens Lyngby.

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.

It integrates with ERP systems and leverages both public and private data sources to generate tailored, commercially viable ESG reports. We’ve already gained strong market traction across industries in Denmark.

FÆRM has developed and patented FÆRM Original - a fermented, plant-based cream cheese built for professional kitchens. FÆRM Original is made from few, organic ingredients and produced using dairy-inspired methods, FÆRM Original has 11% protein, clean label ingredients, and it’s sold at the same price as dairy cream cheese. We built the product around functionality and performance and FÆRM Original behaves like dairy cream cheese in both hot and cold applications. That’s also why it’s relevant across restaurants, hospitals, canteens, cafés, catering, and bakeries across Denmark. We’ve sold-out our pilot production since October 2025 and have recurring demand across multiple foodservice sectors. FÆRM is now entering the next phase with focus on scaling with industrial production and expanding commercially. FÆRM’s ambition is to make plant-based cream cheese the obvious choice. FÆRM Original combines functionality, high protein content, and clean ingredients in a product designed for real kitchen performance.
