AUTOproff

AUTOproff provides software-as-a-service solutions to the professional car market – making it seamless, secure, and more attractive to trade used cars. Our solutions are important enablers of the ongoing mobility transformation of the car industry, where most people in the future will no longer own a car, but instead lease, rent, share or hail cars. Mobility means significant growth in transaction volume as cars will be traded more often during their lifetime – thereby driving strong demand for our solutions. We are growing fast and serve more than 3,500 customers from across the whole value chain including OEMs, dealerships as well as rental-, leasing-, platform- and mobility companies. AUTOproff was founded in 2013, became market leader in Denmark in 2016, and has since expanded across Northern Europe. We employ 100 enthusiastic professionals across our offices in Copenhagen (DK), Vejle (DK), Hamburg (DE), Malmoe (SE), Zwolle (NL) and Poznan (PL). In 2020, we posted revenues of more than DKK 400 million and we have been profitable since our inception. AUTOproff is privately owned by Jesper Ratza, our CEO and founder, André Rogaczewski, CEO and co-founder of Netcompany, as well as other private investors.

Inzure

ABOUT Insurance is one of the biggest recurring household costs - yet the market is built on complexity: dense policies, hard comparisons, and increasingly individualised pricing with little transparency. The result is predictable: people overpay for years, miss critical coverage, or both - and often only find out when it's too late. We're building the consumer layer for private insurance, making it behave like a modern product. Upload your policies and, in under a minute, our AI turns fine print into clear answers: where you're over- or underinsured, where the gaps are, and where you're likely paying too much. We benchmark each policy against an anonymised pool of real policies to recommend better-matched alternatives - shifting knowledge and pricing power back to households. We're early-stage, moving fast, and already proving the need: 50+ customer interviews, 10 households switched, ~28% average savings while improving coverage - plus validation from senior industry professionals, a top-performing insurance salesperson on the team, and initial pre-seed backing from a Bain & Company partner.

GradeAid

The Problem: What problem are you attempting to solve, and how big is it? Children suffering from school refusal systematically fall out of the education system because traditional teaching methods fail to meet their individual learning needs. Today, 110,000 children have experienced school refusal—equivalent to one in five students. This target group becomes isolated at home during their school years, which later leads to difficulties in securing and maintaining employment, costing society 2.2 billion annually. Research shows that the most critical factor for these students is restoring their self-confidence regarding learning; they need to experience learning as a positive activity and process the traumas that led to their school refusal (The Back2School Modular Cognitive Behavioral Intervention, 2024). Therefore, before attempting to reintegrate students into the physical school environment, it is crucial to rebuild their confidence and bring them up to the academic level of their peers to reduce feelings of stigmatization. The Solution: What is your idea? Describe your product or service. GradeAid is an AI agent that creates personalized learning experiences. Students simply scan their homework or verbalize what they wish to learn. Our AI then generates tailored content derived from pedagogically validated materials, specifically designed for children who lack academic confidence or have fallen behind. The system continuously learns from the student's interactions and automatically adapts the curriculum. This helps restore the self-confidence and joy of learning that many of these students lack, while ensuring the process is both personalized and fun. The platform features a 24/7 AI tutor providing instant feedback. Through gamification, students earn coins for their virtual pets. This approach was selected because research has long established that gamification effectively builds confidence and helps children re-engage with learning (Impact of gamification on school engagement: a systematic review, 2024). Instead of forcing the child to fit the system, our technology adapts to the child's way of learning. Our intention is to build confidence so that children find it easier to return to school, equipped with the mental energy to focus on social reintegration. The platform supports both English and Danish. We are currently testing the Danish version.
