Leftovers

Leftovers (leftovers.food) is a marketplace for affordable, home-cooked meals made by talented local cooks and sold to students and young professionals. Problem: In cities like Copenhagen, there is a clear gap between expensive takeaway / delivery (often over 150-200 DKK per meal), and cheap supermarket food, which requires time, planning, and cooking skills many people don’t have. For international students, young professionals, and time-poor households, the result is: 1) Overpaying for mediocre takeaway, 2) Eating repetitive, low-quality convenience food, 3) Food waste from over-purchasing groceries, and 4) A lack of affordable, authentic, home-style meals. At the same time, there is untapped supply: 1) Skilled home cooks with excess capacity, 2) Parents cooking large family meals, 3) Culturally diverse residents who want to share traditional cuisine, and 4) People looking for flexible side income. Solution: Leftovers connects people who love to cook with people who want affordable, authentic, home-cooked meals. Through the digital platform, customers can: 1) Browse daily meals from local cooks, 2) Order affordable portions (e.g. 60–90 DKK), and 3) Pick up locally or access coordinated delivery. Cooks can: 1) Monetise excess capacity, 2) Generate flexible income, and 3) Build micro-brands around their cuisine. Leftovers sits between informal food-sharing and expensive food delivery platforms - creating a structured, trusted, and potentially scalable marketplace. Importantly, a favourable regulatory environment in Denmark allows small-scale food sales from home kitchens under certain conditions, lowering barriers to entry. Why Now? 1) Cost-of-living pressure makes affordable meals more attractive than ever, 2) Platform trust (ratings, payments, verification) makes peer-to-peer food viable at scale, 3) Cultural diversity in cities like Copenhagen increases demand for authentic cuisine, 4) Regulatory tailwinds in Denmark lower entry barriers relative to many other countries, 5) Consumers are increasingly open to non-traditional food distribution models, and 6) Values of trust, community, sharing and sustainability in Denmark are key enablers. Founder: Leftovers is rooted in lived experience. I identified the problem firsthand while living in a Copenhagen student dorm, and validated demand through surveys across students, young professionals, and families. I understand scalable marketplace economics from your finance background. I have hospitality connections (chefs, food influencers) and access to capital networks. And finally, I understand how to position this as more than a food app - but as an authentic, community-driven, scalable, city-by-city platform model. How? The app is live (https://apps.apple.com/au/app/leftovers/id6748817523) and a kickstarter program is imminent to launch (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/leftovers/leftovers-pilot-edition-a-community-food-sharing-experiment) in collaboration with CBS student housing to further validate the concept. The near-term plan is to build awareness and trust in order to drive user adoption. A targeted marketing campaign (incentives, content and events) and funding efforts are underway. I am looking to offer a co-founder equity that is passionate about the concept to help drive community-building and marketing efforts. Leftovers is not just about cheap meals, it’s about unlocking under-utilised kitchen capacity, creating income opportunities and empowering home cooks, reducing food waste, building local food communities. Long-term, it becomes the Airbnb of home-cooked food - starting in Denmark, then expanding city-by-city across Scandinavia and Europe. *We are on a mission to empower home cooks to provide a more affordable, authentic and sustainable alternative to delivery, while building community*

Commu

We are building Commu, a platform that helps cities strengthen community, reduce loneliness, and improve wellbeing through everyday acts of help between people. Across Europe, municipalities are facing the same problem: Loneliness is increasing (especially among elderly, newcomers and vulnerable groups). Preventive wellbeing work is underfunded and fragmented and cities struggle to activate citizens in a scalable, measurable way. At the same time, there are thousands of people who want to help but no simple structure to connect them with real needs. Commu solves this gap. We enable municipalities to activate residents, organizations and volunteers into one shared digital community, where people can easily ask for help, offer help, and participate in meaningful local actions. Cities get visibility, data and impact. People get connection, purpose and a sense of belonging. Cities need modern tools to support participation, not just services We already work with municipalities internationally, and now we are building Sweden from scratch. This is not about maintaining a system it’s about creating a new way for cities and people to work together.

SpacelyLabs

We’re SpacelyLabs, and our mission is simple but ambitious: remove the physical friction that quietly drains revenue from the built world. The Problem: Spaces aren’t broken. They’re wasting money. Most buildings, stores, and travel hubs are designed with small, invisible barriers that push customers away without a sound. A door that’s too heavy. A layout that creates bottlenecks. A missing handrail that makes someone choose another venue. These aren’t just accessibility issues. They are abandoned revenue streams hiding in plain sight. A massive share of consumer spending power sits with people whose mobility is changing. When their experience feels hard, they don’t complain. They just don’t return. The result is a silent leak that operators never measure but feel in their balance sheets. We’re here to give businesses the superpower they’ve never had: the ability to see, measure, and fix friction before it kills throughput. The Solution: A performance engine for the physical world SpacelyLabs is a B2B SaaS platform that turns buildings into measurable, optimizable systems. Think of it as the analytics layer the physical world has been missing. We create Digital Twins of real spaces, analyze how people actually move and interact, and pinpoint exactly where friction blocks flow and revenue. Clear insights. Clear ROI. For Real Estate: We show how removing a tiny barrier can unlock a disproportionate boost in customer movement and spending. For Transport: We surface the critical interface problems that break seamless travel and cost operators loyalty. Our Unfair Advantage We’re building a ground truth dataset no one else has. Today: We collect verified, engineering-grade data through a specialized scout network. Tomorrow: It will be autonomous. We’re training computer vision models so a simple walkthrough video can generate a full friction map and commercial recommendation set instantly. This is where the product becomes magic. Why join now? We’re early, ambitious, and moving fast. We already have strong market signals and pilot discussions with major operators. The pain is obvious, the demand is real, and the opportunity is huge. If you want to build something technically challenging that changes how millions of people move through the world while opening a market worth tens of billions, this is the moment to jump in.

Swöm ApS

Swöm is a Nordic safety tech startup addressing drowning, one of the leading causes of death. Through the use of sensor and wearable airbag technology we have developed smart swimwear which automatically inflates in a potential drowning situation. Our initial product focus on children with plans for further expansion into the active water lifestyle segments (surfers, swimmers, kayakers etc) through licensing of our technology to leading brands across the globe. We have over a 3 year R&D period developed a unique and patent pending wearable safety hardware platform and are now in the process of starting commercialisation as well as developing version two which includes the introduction of space tech to add a tracking and alarm feature to the product. Our funding comes from both investors as well as grants. We were born in the incubation program at the VC Antler and have received grants for instance from the European Space Agency and the Danish Innovation fund. Our headquarters are based at the DTU campus in Kongens Lyngby.

Kihleo

Kihleo is a medtech startup developing an early warning system for urinary tract infections in older people with incontinence receiving care at home or in nursing homes. UTIs are one of the most common reasons for acute deterioration, confusion, and hospitalisation in this group. They are challenging to detect early, because symptoms are often vague, many older people cannot clearly communicate discomfort, and home care staff and nurses have minimal time. Today, detection is primarily reactive. Staff notice that something is wrong, then order urine tests and start treatment when the infection is already well underway. This leads to unnecessary suffering, avoidable admissions, and a high use of antibiotics. Kihleo’s solution is a small sensor placed in the diaper that measures biomarkers in the urine every time the person voids. When the diaper is changed, the sensor is read, and data is sent to a secure backend. Algorithms and predictive models analyse patterns over time and provide early, trustworthy indications that an infection may be developing, days before clinical symptoms are usually recognised. The system is not a diagnostic tool. It is a decision-support and early-warning system that integrates into existing workflows and helps staff decide when to look more closely, consult a nurse or doctor, and perform standard diagnostic tests. The value is threefold. For older people, it means faster and more targeted treatment, fewer severe infections, less confusion, and a better day-to-day quality of life. For relatives and care staff, it provides reassurance, objective data, and more time for actual care rather than crisis management. For the public sector, it helps prevent avoidable hospitalisations and complications that are both expensive and resource-intensive. Kihleo is working with a hardware partner on sensor development and is already in dialogue with Danish municipalities about pilot projects. The long-term vision is to create a scalable, data-driven platform for early detection of infections and other complications in elderly care, using everyday materials like diapers as non-invasive data sources.

Nørd Studio ApS

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.

Incremental Maritime A/S

Incremental Maritime is developing a digital compliance solution that helps shipowners and operators navigate complex decarbonization regulations; transforming compliance into lower emissions and higher margins. Our deep regulatory expertise, data-driven models, and hands-on client support are what set us apart. Global shipping faces an accelerating tide of climate regulation, from the IMO’s GHG Fuel Intensity targets to FuelEU Maritime and EU ETS. These rules impact everything: fuel costs, asset values, and day-to-day operations. Yet most market players lack the tools and insights to respond; let alone turn compliance into an advantage. This leaves shipowners and operators asking: - What decarbonization investments make financial sense? - How do I reduce risk and avoid penalties? - Can I stay compliant across multiple regimes without extra complexity? - Without smart tools, these questions are hard to answer - and costly to get wrong. Our solution has two core parts: Advisory with immediate impact: We help clients assess regulatory costs, model emissions, evaluate investment cases, and support decision-making from planning to operations. A digital compliance agent (in development): Built on real client work, this tool will combine - Real-time emissions tracking - Cross-jurisdictional compliance logic - Commercial impact analysis - Support from pre-fixture to post-voyage We’re building the go-to compliance engine for modern shipping: one that simplifies decisions, protects margins, and scales with regulation. We launched Incremental Maritime because we saw a blind spot: climate regulation was outpacing the industry’s ability to respond and the result was confusion, cost, and missed opportunity. With experience spanning maritime operations and regulatory systems, we knew we could help. We believe that smarter compliance is not a burden, it’s a pathway to performance. We're here to equip shipping with the tools to decarbonize profitably, one fixture, one voyage, one regulation at a time.
