Valiyou - The All-In-One Sponsorship & Marketing Value Platform Valiyou helps organizations measure, manage, and grow the value of their sponsorships with data, insights, and automation. The Problem: Traditional sponsorship deals are built on gut feeling and manual processes. Organizations struggle to prove their marketing value to sponsors with hard data, making it difficult to justify pricing, renew contracts, and scale sponsorship revenue. Sponsors demand transparency and ROI documentation, but most organizations lack the tools to deliver it professionally. Our Solution: Valiyou turns data into clarity, and clarity into value. We provide a complete platform that: - Measures attention value across all channels (social media, events, merchandise,broadcasts) - Manages sponsorship packages, proposals, and contracts in one place - Grows revenue by enabling data-driven pricing and professional reporting We serve sports clubs, influencers, NGOs, businesses, events, and musicians across Europe - helping them prove their worth and build stronger, long-term partnerships with sponsors. Why it matters: Most sponsorship deals are still closed with handshakes and Excel sheets. We're bringing transparency, automation, and data-driven decision-making to an industry that desperately needs it.

Tid is a watch startup challenging the assumption that products should be designed for a single, default body and identity. Most watches are built around narrow aesthetic and ergonomic norms, leaving many people adapting themselves to the object rather than the other way around. We design unconventional, modular timepieces that prioritize fit, expression, and personal meaning over tradition. The problem we solve is not accuracy of timekeeping, but relevance: creating objects that reflect diverse bodies, lives, and ways of being in the world.

Silicon Valhalla is a Nordic tech intelligence hub that maps startups, founders, investors, and market signals across the Nordic region, with a particular emphasis on AI, SaaS, and frontier innovation. It exists to make the “Silicon Valhalla” ecosystem - Nordic tech’s answer to Silicon Valley - more visible, navigable, and investable for founders, operators, and capital. The platform combines a curated startup directory, an events calendar, and ecosystem insights into a single, neutral entry point for Nordic tech. Startups and scaleups get structured profiles highlighting what they do, where they are based, which sector they play in, and how to reach them, while investors and partners can quickly scan emerging companies across AI, climate, fintech, deep tech, and more. A continuously updated view of companies and activity aims to surface momentum early, so users can spot new categories, breakout teams, and upcoming fundraising stories before they hit the mainstream. Silicon Valhalla is designed to be independent and ecosystem-first rather than a job board or paywalled database. The service is currently free to use, making discovery accessible while opening the door for future premium offerings such as featured profiles, highlighted events, and deeper signal products for investors and corporates. In short, Silicon Valhalla is building the default map and narrative for Nordic tech: a living overview of the startups, talent, and ideas turning the region into one of the most dynamic innovation hubs in Europe.

We are building a premium equestrian media company focused on long-form, high-quality conversations about performance, horse welfare, psychology, and the business realities of modern equestrian sport. The equestrian industry is performance-driven and highly traditional, yet many of the most important topics shaping daily practice ; such as decision-making, responsibility, pressure, and long-term horse welfare, are often discussed superficially or not at all. Existing content tends to prioritize results, entertainment, or extremes, leaving little space for nuanced and experience-based dialogue. Our platform addresses this gap by producing well-moderated conversations with riders, professionals, and industry participants who have direct experience with the sport. The focus is on practical insight, reflection, and real-world decision-making rather than opinions or simplified narratives. By raising the quality and depth of equestrian media, we aim to support better understanding, more informed choices, and a more sustainable culture within the sport , for both horses and the people working with them.

1. The Elevator Pitch GEIST is developing next-generation sailing apparel for recreational and lifestyle sailors who want protection and freedom on the water—without the bulk, stiffness, or elitist aesthetics of traditional sailing gear. By combining high-performance materials, real-world testing, and community-driven design, GEIST delivers technical sailing wear that enhances the experience instead of getting in the way. 2. The What: What are you solving? Sailing apparel today is largely designed for professional racers or extreme offshore conditions—resulting in garments that are heavy, rigid, over-engineered, and visually disconnected from how most people actually sail. This creates a gap for: - Recreational sailors - Lifestyle / adventure sailors - Coastal and day sailors who want reliable protection from wind, spray, and weather, but also comfort, mobility, and a modern aesthetic they enjoy wearing. As a result, many sailors compromise—either wearing gear that limits movement and comfort, or using outdoor apparel not built for marine conditions. This problem affects a broad and growing segment of sailors globally, especially as sailing increasingly overlaps with outdoor lifestyle, travel, and community-driven experiences. 3. How GEIST is solving it GEIST designs sailing apparel from the experience outward. We start by deeply understanding how our users move, layer, vent heat, and interact with their gear during real sailing scenarios—not idealized ones. From there, we: - Develop function-led designs focused on mobility, breathability, and smart protection - Use premium 3-layer performance fabrics and components chosen for durability, comfort, and sustainability - Prototype early and test continuously with sailors in real conditions - Co-create features, fit, and details with our community rather than designing in isolation Our first products—a sailing jacket and trousers—are built to be worn actively on the water and comfortably before and after, bridging performance and lifestyle without compromise. 4. Why GEIST exists GEIST started from lived frustration. As a sailor and outdoor enthusiast, I repeatedly experienced how traditional sailing gear interrupted the very thing it was supposed to support—the feeling of being present, capable, and free on the water. Gear was either too stiff, too bulky, too aggressive, or simply not designed for how most people sail today. I realized this wasn’t a niche problem—it was systemic. And it wasn’t being solved because the industry hadn’t truly shifted its perspective. GEIST exists to reimagine sailing apparel from the standpoint of experience, movement, and modern sailing culture. It’s about stripping away unnecessary complexity and designing gear that supports focus, confidence, and enjoyment—so when the wind hits, the world narrows, and the gear disappears.

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.

Danish Development Research Network (DDRN) is a non-governmental organization comprising individual and institutional members based in any country. Membership is open to researchers, students, aid practitioners, consultants, private and public entities and others who are involved in the generation, communication and application of knowledge to support sustainable development in the Global South countries. There is a wide gap between North and South in research as a resource for development. According to the UNESCO Science Report 2015, low income countries had 121 researchers per 1 mill. inhabitants, as opposed to high income countries with 3,814 researchers per 1 mill. inhabitants in 2013. During the same year, 1,363,074 scientific articles were published by researchers in OECD member states, as compared to only 3,909 articles by researchers in low income countries. Global challenges call for joint research to retrieve and combine data across North-South divides. The mutual interests between South and North researchers in exploring global solutions set agendas for research beyond conventional development studies. The emphasis in Denmark on innovation holds a potential for a broad engagement with South countries towards the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Research by South researchers working in Denmark provides knowledge resources for South-North public and private partnerships.

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.

Frank Founders is built for one thing: creating pipeline and growth for B2B SaaS companies through digital marketing. We work with ambitious SaaS teams and take ownership of the strategy and execution needed to drive real revenue. We’re part of the Frank Agency Collective - a group of small, specialized agencies that each operate in a narrow segment and focus on measurable outcomes in their domain. The goal is simple: be the obvious choice for a very specific type of client, and irrelevant to everyone else. Frank Founders is a micro-agency with 100% focus on B2B SaaS. That means you work close to the business: you lead strategy, drive execution, and stay close to the numbers. We expect people to take charge, make decisions, and treat client challenges as their own - and in return, we offer a high degree of freedom, trust, and ownership. Our culture is shaped by three principles: 01 Same side of the table - We work with clients as one team, with shared goals and clear accountability. 02 One size fits nobody - We use proven methods, but always tailor them to the company’s stage, priorities, and commercial reality. 03 Process drives progress - We rely on clear structures, frameworks, and testing to turn complexity into momentum and measurable growth. Day to day, that means a lot of sparring, open feedback (“frankly speaking” is part of how we work), and a strong focus on craft. We share knowledge, clients, and responsibilities across the team and are based in Talent Garden on Holmen in Copenhagen, surrounded by other startups and scaleups.
