Nørd Studio is a Scandinavian branding and packaging agency based in Copenhagen (we work fully remote). We create human brands that communicate clearly and effectively without resorting to shouting. That last part matters. In a world of loud, trend-chasing designs, we deliberately do things differently. Minimal. Honest. Considered. This is not just an aesthetic choice; it's a philosophy that underpins everything we do, from our design process to our pricing strategy and how we treat the people we work with. We specialise in branding, including logos, visual systems, packaging, stationery and pitch decks. We write copy that sounds human, not like a press release. We also build websites from scratch — no templates or shortcuts, just fast, SEO-ready sites. We're a small studio, and that's intentional. Every client works directly with the people doing the work. Every project receives our full attention. There are no account managers, no handoffs and no diluted output. We're not looking to grow quickly. We want to grow well, with the right people on the right projects.

Across cities, countless square meters are sitting unused – basements, garages, parking spots, and storage rooms. At the same time, people are struggling to find space: the driver without a parking option, the student with too many moving boxes, or the small business in need of affordable storage nearby. Today, the market is fragmented. On one side, people rely on Facebook groups and classifieds – messy, insecure, and inefficient. On the other side, traditional self-storage companies offer standardized units, but often at high prices and in inconvenient locations. What’s missing is a trusted, flexible platform that brings everything together – where you can easily find, rent, and share all kinds of space, from a neighbor’s garage to professional self-storage, in one seamless experience. That’s the gap we’re here to fill with Nearby.

Sikr is the first company specializing in Cyber Security (CS) for Small and Midsized Enterprises (SMEs). We have a product, we have a few paying customers, and we are EU-funded though the Danish National Coordination Center for Cyber Security. Which is documented at https://ncc-dk.dk/ under supported projects pool 2, and their post on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/posts/ncc-dk-danmark-cybersecurity-coordination-centre_ncc-dk-netv%C3%A6rksm%C3%B8de-05022025-save-the-activity-7282724478550241280-YCw3 "Sikr" is in Danish pronounced "sikker" which means "safe", and we own the domain sikr.it & sikr-it.dk. We have developed a platform that helps SMEs to get basic CS, in a way that is as easy for the company to implement our products, while it is very non-intrusive and hands-off for us, and while it is as cheap as possible. The problem SMEs have with CS: Complexity and Cost: Many existing IT security solutions are designed for large corporations, making them overly complex and financially out of reach for SMEs.​ Lack of Resources: SMEs often lack dedicated IT departments, leaving them vulnerable to cyber threats without adequate protection or support.​ This issue leaves smaller businesses exposed to cyber risks, with limited options for effective and manageable security solutions, that in theory could have been avoided very easily. Why does this matter? Cybersecurity is not just a concern for large corporations; SMEs are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals, which most often puts them out of business. By providing a user-friendly, and affordable security solutions, Sikr empowers smaller businesses to protect their digital assets, maintain customer trust, and ensure business continuity.

Virkley helps real estate developers and agencies sell properties before they are built by transforming 2D floorplans into interactive, life-like virtual showrooms. The Problem Selling homes that don’t yet exist is challenging. Buyers struggle to visualize and plan their future space from static floorplans, leading to indecision, lengthy sales cycles, and lost revenue. Real estate companies often rely on expensive, time-consuming 3D agencies to create visualizations—making it impractical to showcase every unit interactively. Even after purchase, buyers risk making poor furnishing decisions, wasting time and money on furniture that doesn’t fit. Our Solution Virkley transforms the static 2D floorplans into hyper-realistic virtual property tours, allowing buyers to step inside a space before it’s built. They can walk through rooms, switch between furnished and unfurnished views, adjust interiors, and take measurements. This helps property developers and real estate agencies showcase homes more effectively while making the buying experience more engaging and informed.

Healthcare faces critical challenges: a shortage of doctors and nurses, widespread burnout, skyrocketing costs, and limited access to care for many.

With an AI hivemind, providers can reduce risk, drive down costs, and give every healthcare professional more time and mandate with patients.

Hubb is the leading Nordic chain of virtual restaurants — kitchens built from the ground up specifically for food delivery. We serve more than 100,000 customers yearly across all our locations in Greater Copenhagen, with sales reaching DKK +50 million annually and turning profits. We've raised more than DKK 30 million from investors. Who are we and what do we do? We're a team of ambitious founders who have built start-ups before, with prior experience from both the food delivery industry, tech, and in the high-culinary world of Michelin restaurants. We run small, efficient, delivery-only kitchens with no tables, waiters, or front-of-house staff. Around 80% of our orders are delivered and 20% picked up, through platforms like Wolt and Uber Eats, where we are one of the largest brands. Our food is developed by Michelin-trained chefs across four of the most popular take-away categories — burgers, fried chicken, Greek gyros, and Asian bao buns — which customers can mix in a single order, all engineered to still taste great after a 20-minute delivery. Great food, built to be delivered. We deliver consistently excellent, delivery-first food: 500,000+ orders served to date, 80%+ repeat purchases, and an 8.8/10 rating across 50,000+ reviews, twice named Denmark's highest-rated restaurant on Wolt. The problem we solve: most restaurant food is designed for the dining room, not the doorstep, so it arrives late, soggy, and inconsistent — while the restaurants making it lose money to delivery's high commissions and operational complexity. At the same time, independent restaurateurs sit with half-empty kitchens, with capacity they cannot monetise properly to turn a profit. Hubb fixes both sides. We operate our own kitchens, and we partner with restaurants that operate a virtual Hubb venue from their existing kitchens. We turn their idle capacity into profit with a turnkey virtual brand — we give them our proven menus, recipes, suppliers, on-site staff training, and branded packaging — while we run the platforms, marketing, and support. They simply cook. Now, we're looking to scale to become the biggest virtual take-away brand across food delivery platforms in the Nordics, with ambitions to open a virtual restaurant in every city and local area with food delivery platforms serving customers. We believe we are pioneering the next big thing in the food delivery industry, and hope you would like to submit an application to come to join us in this effort.

In the beginning, there was no company. No team. No bigger vision. There was just a stressed-out computer science student needing order amidst a demanding life and study schedule. So he built a simple tool to manage it all, which he named Todoist. Turns out, he wasn't alone in his need to get everything out of his head, and into an organized system. The audience grew. The team grew. And the tool and company evolved side by side out of the same original intentions: autonomy, flexibility, powerful leverage – never at the expense of simplicity. That ethos led to Todoist’s success as a market-leading task management tool, used by tens of millions of people and teams the world over. Does it solve all the world's problems? No. Does it make a whole lot of lives a whole lot better? According to our customers and team, who have been living in that future for well over a decade: hell yes it does. So much so, in fact, that we’ve expanded our vision: to be the end-to-end productivity platform that empowers a billion people to bring their ideas to life.
