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

The Solution to Our Time’s Flood of Pictures Lies in Photo Books. We are living in a time where we take more pictures than ever before. However, it is also a time where we no longer have them developed or spend time looking at them together. This has the team behind the Danish company SubBook come up with a solution to. They have made it easy to get the photo books back in the living rooms, so that friends and family can gather around the pictures and look back at all of their greatest memories together. And now they are expanding to the international market. The team has developed a photo book app called SubBook, which allows users to collect pictures from both Facebook, Instagram, Dropbox, and the iPhone camera roll to make simple photo books as easy as possible. They have made it with a particular focus on a user-friendly experience, so that people can both create and order their photo books while grocery shopping or in the bus on the way home from work. Because the team would like to spread the joy of perpetuated memories and the possibility to make simple, personalized, and cheap photo books to even more people, they now have entered the international market. In doing so they have also launched their website and app in English versions, while their photo books are delivered to all of Europe. With a sustainable aim. As the team wishes to give something back to the resources they use in their production, SubBook has joined in with the organization One Tree Planted. This collaboration means that a tree is planted every time a customer orders three books using the SubBook app. The team care a great deal about the traces they leave on our Earth and because of this, they only use paper qualities complying with international environmental requirements. This also means that their customers can order books with a clean and green conscience. For now, the SubBook app only works with iPhones, but as a part of their international launch the team is working tirelessly on developing an app for Android users, so that many more can join in on getting pictures out of the phones and into the photo books.
