Sunny Life Co.

Sunny Life is a Copenhagen-based startup shaking up the spread game with sunflower seed butters in flavors you won’t find anywhere else. Most spreads are boring, processed, or nut-only — we’re here to make them fun, nutritious, and inclusive without losing sight of ethics or taste. Everything is made in small batches, with a sustainable, allergen-friendly base and a Scandinavian twist. As a small but growing team, you’ll work closely with the founder and get a behind-the-scenes look at how a business is built from the ground up. It’s hands-on, fast-moving, and a chance to make a real impact (plus free seed butter 🌻).

BuddyUp Social

BuddyUp Social is a social discovery platform helping adults in Denmark—especially expats and newcomers—find meaningful connections through shared interests and real-life events. We’re solving the problem of adult social isolation by making it easy to create, join, and engage in hobby-based meetups, all through one intuitive app. Making friends as an adult can be surprisingly difficult. Whether you're a Dane moving to a new city or an expat starting fresh in Denmark, it’s common to feel socially disconnected. Many adults don’t know where to start when it comes to meeting new people outside of work, dating apps, or closed social circles. This problem is widespread and well-documented—especially in Denmark, where surveys consistently show that many internationals struggle with social integration, and even locals describe it as awkward to make new friends past a certain age. We’re tackling this head-on by making socializing more accessible, interest-based, and low-pressure. BuddyUp Social is designed to break down the barriers of adult friendship and create opportunities for spontaneous, real-world connection. Whether it’s joining a hike, hosting a board game night, attending a ceramics class, or finding a casual pub quiz crew, BuddyUp is all about connecting people who are "up for it"—with no pressure, no awkward messaging phase, and no algorithms getting in the way. Unlike traditional social platforms focused on digital interaction, BuddyUp is built around real-life meetups. Users can explore and join events happening near them, or create their own. Events can be public or invite-only, recurring or one-off, and are always centered around shared hobbies or interests. The app also welcomes collaborations with local businesses, allowing them to showcase open community events, bringing even more variety and accessibility to users. We’re launching in Denmark first—starting with Copenhagen and Aarhus—before expanding to similar cities across Europe. The idea behind BuddyUp was born from personal experience. As someone who returned to Denmark after years abroad, and with friends struggling to meet people after relocating, it became clear how socially challenging adulthood can be. We kept hearing the same story: “I’d love to meet new people, but I just don’t know how or where.” Instead of settling for outdated forums, clunky Facebook groups, or apps not designed for platonic connection, we decided to build a better solution ourselves. BuddyUp is more than an app—it’s a movement to make adult friendship and community-building normal, easy, and enjoyable again. We’re passionate about creating a product that helps people feel less alone and more empowered to take the first step toward new friendships. We believe that real-life connections are essential for personal happiness and social wellbeing—and we’re here to make those moments happen.

AI Flow Chat

No-code workflow tool for automating and chaining AI prompts. Features a drag-and-drop builder, model flexibility, one-click sharing as apps, and reusable automation templates The biggest issue with working with prompt chaining in ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude is that the increased chat length makes the AI begin to hallucinate. For example, if you want to prompt the AI to write an article, it's almost impossible for it not to begin to make slop and ignore/forget your instructions. For most people, this tool will not be that interesting. Chat interfaces are king for quick questions. But if you've struggled with generating consistent, high quality, content using ChatGPT, then you know exactly the problem this solves.

Sikr

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.
