SGC - Arena

✅ 1: Short description (the pitch) SGC Arena is developing a combined TCG retail store, gaming lounge and community-driven event center to help youth, families and adult gamers find a safe, engaging and social space to play, compete and belong. We solve the lack of modern, inclusive gaming- and hobby environments by offering a 655 m² hybrid hub built around TCG, esport, community events and structured activities, powered by strong partnerships, low inventory risk and a highly scalable franchise-ready model. ✅ 2: The What – The problem we are solving Across Denmark, young people and adult hobby enthusiasts lack safe, structured and inspiring spaces to gather around gaming, TCG and shared interests. Most environments are either too small, too informal or lacking supervision, creating a gap between commercial gaming cafés and traditional youth facilities. At the same time, parents struggle to find positive, healthy gaming communities for their children, while hobby players (Pokémon, Magic, Lorcana) lack dedicated spaces for trading, events and tournaments. This problem affects: Children and teens seeking social belonging Adults looking for hobby communities Parents who want structured and safe gaming spaces TCG players who currently lack large-scale physical hubs Municipalities who need modern, engaging offers for youth Retail customers who want combined experiences, not just shops The demand is widespread and growing. TCG, gaming and event-based hobby retail are among the fastest-growing entertainment segments in Europe. Yet Denmark remains underserved with almost no large-scale hybrid centers combining retail, gaming, community and structured activities. SGC Arena fills this gap. ✅ 3: The How – How we solve it SGC Arena provides a 655 m² multi-zone environment combining: A full-service TCG retail store (Pokémon, Magic, Lorcana etc.) A high-end gaming lounge with esport setups A large event area for tournaments, competitions and community gatherings A social “hobby lounge” for trading, crafting and relaxed gaming A forening-driven model with daily structured activities Weekend programs with 500–1.000 visitors Consignationsaftaler reducing inventory risk dramatically A scalable operations manual and franchise blueprint for expansion to 3–8 locations Each weekday features structured activities through our association: Esport teams (20 participants daily) Hobby/TCG clubs (up to 40 per session) Weekends host large-scale TCG events, family activities, adult gaming evenings and trading meetups — creating predictable, high-volume traffic. The concept is built to scale: simple operational procedures, strong supplier partnerships, low-risk inventory, and a community-first structure that can be replicated nationally. ✅ 4: The Why – Our motivation SGC Arena is founded by Heinrich Dam Jensen, former owner of the esports organization Dream Gaming in Rødovre Centrum, where he built a strong and healthy gaming community in 2020. When COVID forced that project to close, it sparked a deep understanding of what young people and hobby-focused adults truly need: a safe, structured, social and modern environment that supports healthy gaming behavior and real-world connections. The vision has grown stronger since. Heinrich has a background in police, defence, leadership and youth work, and has seen firsthand how powerful gaming and structured hobbies can be when given the right environment. This is the foundation of SGC Arena: creating Denmark’s leading chain of gaming- and TCG-based community hubs. The motivation is simple: to give youth, families and adult hobbyists a place to belong — and to build a scalable, commercially strong concept that brings community and business together.

Nutriverse

Kort beskrivelse Vi hos Nutriverse arbejder for at udvikle en platform, som vil gøre det muligt for folk at leve et sundere, og derved bedre, liv. Hvilket problematikker forsøger vi at løse? Vi lever længere og længere - men vi bliver ikke ligefrem sundere. Hvad er gevinsten ved at leve længere, hvis det blot er flere af de dårlige leveår vi får? Vi vil tilbyde folk i alle aldre lettilgængelig og forståelig information, til at få det bedste ud af den tid vi har. Fakta om danskernes sundhed fortæller lidt om hvor slemt det står til 51% af danskerne var overvægtige [1] 19% af danskerne er svært overvægtige [2] 58% af danskerne bevæger sig ikke nok [2] Danskernes mentale sundhed er styrtdykket [2] 5% af danskerne har diabetes [3] 10% af danskerne tager kolesterolsænkende medicin [4] Hver dansker spiser 6,6 kg slik om året [5] Mht til overvægt så vurderer Kræftens Bekæmpelse at andelen af overvægtige danskere vil være 66% hvis udviklingen fortsætter og andelen af svært overvægtige vil være 29% i 2045 [6] Hvordan kan vi løse problemet Forebyggelse er et af de vigtigste værktøjer til at vi kan forblive sunde og raske. Mange mennesker er i bund og grund sundhedsbevidste, eller har en ambition om at være det, men har ikke tiden eller værktøjerne til at træffe de rigtige valg, når det kommer til deres sundhed. Internettet flyder over med forskellige sundheds-tips og råd, som kan være svære at navigere i, og hvad er egentlig sandt? Nutriverse er et sundhedsunivers hvor folk kan få indsigt i deres egen sundhed, og få værktøjer til at optimere deres sundhed, gennem evidensbaseret information. Hvorfor ønsker vi at løse dette problem Ingen ønsker sig flere leveår hvis det betyder at man ikke har helbredet, energien eller fysikken til at leve livet. Vi har i Danmark ikke tradition for at tænke meget på forebyggelse, når vi taler om sundhed. Alt for ofte lægger fokusset på symptombehandling. Derfor vil vi gerne være med til at løfte opgaven, således at vi alle kan have helbredet med os - så længe som det er muligt. ENGLISH VERSION We, at Nutriverse, aim at developing a platform that'll provide the tools for people, to improve their own health - and thereby life. What problems are we trying to solve? We live longer and longer lives, but we aren’t exactly getting healthier. What's the point of living a longer life, if the years received are filled with hardship and disease? We want to offer people of all ages, understandable and accessible information, to get the best out of the time we are given. Prevention is one of the strongest tools we’ve got, in order to stay healthy as long as possible. Many people are essentially health conscious - or at least have an ambition to be - but don’t have the knowledge or time to make the right choices about their personal health. The internet is flooded with different health advice, which can be hard to navigate through - and what is actually true? Nutriverse is a health-universe that provides people with evidence-based information that can be used to optimize their own health. Nobody wants more years added to their life, if you don’t have the energy, health or ability to live life. We aren’t too concerned with disease prevention in Denmark, way too often the focus is on symptomatic treatment. That’s what we want to change, so that everyone can get the chance to live a long and healthy life.

In an optimal world the perfect tutor lives right around the corner, but that’s simply not the case in real life. Right now, families in many places don’t have access to quality tutors. Especially since the best tutors usually live in the university cities, so many kids never receive the help they desperately need. Toptutors is creating a category for online tutoring, where geography and transportation no longer is a problem. We want to inspire the next generation of students to reach their full potential, because we believe that anyone can learn anything with an inspiring teacher. Student and tutor share an online digital whiteboard designed for educational purposes. Our students love us, because they get an ideal learning experience from the comfort of their home. Also, we are working on an AI platform, so students anywhere can access personalized learning. We are headquartered in Copenhagen, and we've launched in Spain. We are scaling rapidly and need to increase our team.
