Sisi Copenhagen

Sisi Copenhagen is a Danish direct-to-consumer jewelry brand building lasting jewelry for life's most meaningful moments, sold exclusively through channels we own. Our assortment is broad by design, but within the bridal segment we are expanding fast. No retailers, no marketplaces, no middlemen. Bootstrapped since 2017 and among the fastest-growing brands in the established jewelry scene. The jewelry industry runs on markups, distance, and inertia. Legacy brands stack middleman margins onto every piece, sell through cold and transactional channels where no one is accountable after the purchase, and move slowly in an industry that rarely questions how it operates. The result: jewelry that costs more than it should, bought through experiences that feel impersonal at exactly the moments that matter most, an engagement, an anniversary, a gift meant to say what words can't. We think the people buying jewelry for the meaningful moments in their lives deserve better than that. We own the entire chain. We design our own pieces and work directly with the best workshops in the world, so there are no supply-chain middlemen inflating the price. We sell only through our own channels, which means every relationship is direct: the person who advises on a diamond ring and the person who handles a question afterward both work at Sisi Copenhagen. Operations, customer service, and marketing are run in-house, with focused external support where it makes sense. We're also spearheading lab-grown diamonds, the best current vehicle for offering fine jewelry at honest prices, and we treat experience as a core differentiator. We're constantly building better ways to buy jewelry across both the digital and physical space, from the online journey to in-store and video consultations. Experience innovation is where a lot of our energy goes. This is a lean, owned, constantly refined model. Revenue grew from 6M to roughly 75M DKK in four years, we've won four consecutive Gazelle Awards, and we've done all of it with zero external funding. That independence is a deliberate strategy: we grow on our own terms, reinvest in the business, and answer to our customers rather than investors. Sisi started with Vivi, who grew up around her mother's jewelry trade and built the company alone for years: full-time job by day, the business by night, her own money on the line. Christian joined from the entrepreneurial side, drawn to building something from nothing. We've grown the brand through the same milestones it marks for others: partnership, parenthood, building a home. We lead without hierarchy and hire people who want real ownership over what they build, whether that's shaping how the company runs or architecting the systems and processes behind it. If you're curious, self-driven, and want to see your work land directly on the business, you'll fit here.

Ibex

Ibex is building the future of mental fitness. We're developing a research-informed platform that combines psychology, behavioural science and physiological data to help people proactively strengthen their mental wellbeing through personalised, actionable guidance.
 We believe taking care of our minds deserves the same evolution that taking care of our bodies has already undergone. Today, if you want to improve your physical health, you have access to coaches, training plans, wearables and decades of research translated into practical tools that help you build strength, resilience and long-term wellbeing. Mental health, despite being just as fundamental to how we live, work and thrive, is still largely approached reactively. Clinical care is essential, but for most people there is little support between treating illness and generic wellbeing content.
 We see an opportunity to help change that.
 Advances in wearable technology, behavioural science and AI are making it possible to personalise mental health support in ways that simply weren't practical a few years ago. Technology has become remarkably good at measuring us. Wearables can tell us how we slept, how we recovered and how our bodies responded to stress - but measurements alone rarely lead to better mental health.
 Most people already know that sleep, movement, relationships, recovery and stress all matter. The challenge isn't awareness, it's understanding how these factors interact for each individual and turning that understanding into sustainable action.
 Our ambition is to build a system that turns research and personal data into practical, personalised guidance. Rather than giving everyone the same meditation, journal prompt or breathing exercise, we're building an experience that learns about the individual over time and helps people understand what supports their mental wellbeing, then guides them towards small, meaningful actions that strengthen it over time. Just as no good coach would give every athlete the same training plan, we don't believe everyone should receive the same advice.
 The long-term vision is to make taking care of your mind as practical, personalised and accessible as taking care of your body.
 I founded Ibex after spending years working with people, leadership and organisational development and repeatedly seeing the same pattern: people often recognised the signals only once they had become difficult to ignore. 

At the same time, I saw incredible research, talented clinicians and coaches, and rapidly advancing technology, but very little that brought these worlds together in a practical way for everyday life.
 That question; what if we approached mental fitness more like physical fitness? - became the starting point for Ibex.
 Since then, we've developed an early prototype, completed our first pilot, and are continuing to learn where the product creates value, where it needs to improve, and what we need to build next. We're still early in the journey, but we believe mental fitness deserves the same evolution that physical fitness has already undergone, and we're excited to help shape what comes next.
 If you believe the future of mental health is proactive, personalised and built around helping people thrive, not just treating illness - we'd love to connect.

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.
