Dripdrop

Dripdrop is a tech company helping the world’s best hotels offer stylish, eco-friendly umbrellas to their guests and in doing so, we’re disrupting the built-to-break culture. Most products today are designed to fail so companies can sell more. We do the opposite. Our umbrellas are built to last, to be shared, and to be repaired. The longer they stay in use, the better it is for both the planet and our business. That’s the kind of circular thinking we believe should shape the future. Hotels usually spend surprising amounts of time and resources managing umbrellas on rainy days. Guests just want to stay dry and that’s where we come in. Dripdrop automates the whole experience, making it simple, reliable, and fun instead of stressful. We’re already in more than 1,800 hotels across 25 countries, including Scandic, Radisson, Marriott, and Hilton and growing fast. At Dripdrop, we believe that great companies are built by people who grow together. We value curiosity, courage, and collaboration more than titles or hierarchy. We’re a team of 28 people from across the world, Brazil, Denmark, the US, Romania, Italy, Lithuania, Sweden, Hungary, Marocco, UK, Poland, Russia, Chile, Croatia, Germany and Iceland, united by a shared goal of doing meaningful work with a smile on our faces. Every second week is a 4-day work week, giving everyone time to recharge and stay inspired. We believe in individual freedom with collective responsibility. We celebrate progress, not perfection. And we’re constantly evolving, because standing still is the fastest way to fall behind. If you want to help change how products are made, shared, and valued, Dripdrop might be your next adventure.

Skiftr

Skiftr focuses on solving workforce redeployment caused by AI and economic downturns. When automation or a downturn reshapes an industry, millions of people are left to figure out what they can do next - and the hardest part is rarely the loss itself, but not knowing where to go. That's the moment Skiftr exists for. We help each person understand the skills they already have, see how those skills translate as the market shifts, and find a direction forward - including paths they'd never have considered on their own. It's a hard problem. A person's experience rarely maps neatly onto a single job title, and demand for skills moves faster than most people can track. We turn messy, real-world career histories into a clear picture of what someone is capable of and where that capability is valued. McKinsey estimates around 12 million job transitions a year in Europe alone. Helping people make those moves with confidence is one of the defining challenges of the coming decade. Underneath is a live model of how skills, roles and the labour market connect, rebuilt continuously

ExecuteAI

ExecuteAI is building a unified AI‑native ecosystem designed to make advanced automation, agent development, and AI‑driven operations accessible to every company—regardless of size, technical maturity, or industry. We believe AI should not be limited to large enterprises with dedicated engineering teams. Instead, it should be a practical, reliable, and affordable tool that any organization can deploy to improve productivity, decision‑making, and customer experience. Our mission is to democratize AI by providing a complete operating system for automation: from outreach and CRM orchestration to agent development, workflow execution, and talent collaboration. At the core of our platform is the ExecuteAI Hub, a login‑based workspace where companies and AI developers meet, collaborate, and deliver real solutions. The Hub functions as a marketplace, a project management environment, and a delivery engine in one. Companies can post AI projects, describe their needs, and connect with qualified AI developers who specialize in automation, agent design, data workflows, and integration engineering. Developers gain a structured environment to showcase their skills, build a portfolio, and deliver high‑quality AI solutions with clear expectations, transparent communication, and standardized processes. We are solving a fundamental problem in the AI industry: fragmentation. Today, companies must navigate a confusing landscape of tools, models, consultants, and platforms. There is no single place where they can reliably define a problem, find the right expertise, and receive a complete, production‑ready AI solution. ExecuteAI eliminates this friction by offering an end‑to‑end ecosystem that covers the entire lifecycle—from idea to deployed agent. Our platform includes tools for outreach automation, CRM orchestration, agent execution, workflow design, and continuous improvement. Everything is built with a strong focus on Nordic values: transparency, trust, quality, and responsible AI governance. For companies, ExecuteAI provides clarity and structure. Instead of hiring expensive consultants or experimenting with disconnected tools, they gain access to a curated talent pool and a standardized delivery framework. For developers, we offer a place to work on meaningful AI projects, collaborate with clients, and build long‑term relationships. For both sides, the Hub ensures that AI development becomes predictable, repeatable, and scalable. ExecuteAI is headquartered in Copenhagen and built on the belief that the future of work will be shaped by human‑AI collaboration. Our goal is to empower organizations to operate faster, smarter, and more efficiently by integrating AI into their daily workflows. Whether a company needs a custom agent, a full automation pipeline, or ongoing AI operations, ExecuteAI provides the tools, talent, and infrastructure to make it happen.

Casca

Our Mission We are on a mission: Every year, millions of tons of coffee fruit waste (cascara) are discarded during coffee production, creating significant environmental challenges. We salvage this nutrient-rich, naturally caffeinated super-ingredient to craft premium, organic, non-alcoholic sparkling drinks. By prioritizing a circular economy and working directly with the upcycling of waste products, we don’t just create a delicious alternative for the conscious consumer - we also help reduce environmental impact and create an additional revenue stream for coffee farmers. How We Work We import cascara directly from the farmers and partner with expert subcontractors for our organic brewing, production, and storage, allowing our core team to remain agile, creative, and completely focused on scaling our market presence. At the outset we focus on local hipster/organic cafés, restaurant and bars in the HORECA segment preparing for broader retail when the market is ready. Why Join Us? We are a small, ambitious, and passionate team of founders, innovators, and specialty coffee enthusiasts. As a startup, we value creative freedom, and believe in true ownership. Joining us you will be a foundational part of our journey, with the opportunity to shape our sales strategy, brand culture, and future growth. If you are driven by sustainability, love building authentic relationships, and want to help turn a circular business model into a household name, we’d love to have you on board.

Benjis Sea Moss

What if the healthiest thing you could eat was a plant from the bottom of the ocean? Have you heard of Sea Moss Gel before? Nature’s most powerful superfood? The one that contains 92 of the 102 minerals our body needs? Now, I know what you’re thinking. Seaweed? Really? That slimy stuff on the beach? Yep, that one. But here’s the thing.. We’ve turned it into something that’s not only incredibly good for you but also seriously delicious. Let’s rewind for a second, because there’s a reason Sea Moss is called nature’s most powerful superfood. At Benji’s, we produce nutrient-dense Sea Moss Gel. A plant-based superfood that we grow and harvest sustainably from the tropical island of St. Lucia. This island isn’t just beautiful, it’s alive. The surrounding waters are rich in minerals thanks to volcanic rock activity beneath the seabed, and the warm Caribbean climate creates perfect growing conditions for the golden sea moss to thrive. It naturally absorbs over 90 essential minerals and becomes rich in omega-3 fatty acids, amino acids, and vitamins, making it one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. What’s even more magical is that Sea Moss doesn’t just support human health, it supports the planet too. Sea Moss is one of nature’s quiet climate heroes. It takes in carbon dioxide (CO₂) and releases oxygen, just like trees. So by farming sea moss, it’s basically like planting underwater forests. And they are powerful ones. Sea moss can absorb up to 20 times more CO₂ per acre than land-based plants, and it grows without needing fresh water, soil, or fertilizers. Even better, as it grows, the sea moss creates a safe habitat for marine life. Fish, crabs, and turtles return to the area, and whole ecosystems begin to regenerate. It helps restore balance to the ocean while asking almost nothing in return. It’s one of the few crops on Earth that is good for both people and the planet at the same time. And that’s exactly the kind of thing we want to be part of here at Benji’s.

Leftovers

Leftovers is a peer-to-peer marketplace connecting home cooks with neighbours who want affordable, authentic, home-cooked meals, starting in Copenhagen. We all know how expensive eating out in Denmark can be. And cooking takes time and skill most people don't have. The result? Overpriced delivery, repetitive convenience food, inefficiency and waste. Meanwhile, thousands of skilled home cooks (food influencers, aspiring chefs, international residents cooking family recipes) have excess capacity and no easy way to monetise or share it. Leftovers closes that gap. Through the Leftovers app (live on iOS and Android), neighbours browse daily home-cooked meals from local cooks, order affordable portions (50–100 DKK), and collect locally. Cooks get flexible, high-margin income and a micro-brand for their cuisine. Customers get real food, at fair prices, with zero cooking required. All while building community and addressing waste. We've just launched a Kickstarter pilot in partnership with CBS Housing (Copenhagen Business School's student residences) and are actively securing further co-living and student housing partnerships to validate and grow the model. Denmark's regulatory environment for small-scale home food sales makes it feasible. I noticed the opportunity while living in a student dorm in Copenhagen last year, where I was constantly choosing between expensive takeaway and my own basic cooking, while talented students across the hallway were cooking incredible family recipes every day. We tried sharing food amongst ourselves, and it worked. Surveys across students, young professionals, and families confirmed the need. I've since come across many examples of successful local food sharing initiatives, but no platform that coordinates it. Leftovers isn't just a platform for sharing home-cooked meals. It unlocks idle kitchen capacity, empowers home cooks, makes food more affordable, improves access to authentic local produce, fights waste, and helps build local community. The long-term vision is city-by-city expansion across Denmark, Scandinavia and Europe, where local food regulations make sense. I'm now looking for a co-founder with a passion for community-building and marketing to help turn early traction into a movement. Equity on the table. Because sharing tastes better. leftovers.food admin@leftovers.food @leftovers.cph
