The healthcare industry is rapidly evolving to meet the growing demand for accessible, affordable, and efficient medical care. Medical devices have become an essential part of modern healthcare by enabling early disease detection, accurate diagnosis, continuous patient monitoring, and timely clinical decision-making. As global populations grow, chronic diseases increase, and healthcare systems face mounting pressure from shortages of medical professionals, innovative medical technologies are becoming critical to delivering quality care. Medical technology startups are playing a key role in this transformation by developing next-generation solutions that combine advanced software, portable hardware, and digital health technologies. Our company is a Copenhagen-based startup focused on developing innovative Point-of-Care (POC) diagnostic technologies. Our mission is to create intelligent, portable, and user-friendly medical devices that enable faster diagnosis and support decentralized healthcare delivery. The company has already developed a medical device that is classified as Software as a Medical Device (SaMD), registered in EUDAMED and with Danish Medical Agency, demonstrating our expertise in creating clinically relevant software solutions that comply with modern medical device regulations. Building on this foundation, we are now developing our own portable processing device designed specifically for PoC applications. The device integrates powerful processing capabilities with advanced medical software to perform diagnostic analysis directly at the point of care, reducing dependence on centralized laboratory infrastructure. A key strength of our technology is its modular platform architecture. Rather than developing standalone devices for individual applications, we are building a scalable processing platform that supports multiple diagnostic modules. Our first product will introduce the core portable device with its initial diagnostic capability. Future medical applications and diagnostic modules can then be added through hardware and software upgrades, allowing healthcare providers to expand functionality without replacing the entire system. This approach reduces costs, extends product life, and provides a flexible solution that evolves with clinical needs. The demand for PoC diagnostics continues to grow as healthcare systems worldwide face significant shortages of physicians, nurses, and laboratory personnel. Delays in diagnostic testing can increase patient waiting times, prolong treatment decisions, and place additional pressure on hospitals and laboratories. PoC devices address these challenges by enabling rapid testing and analysis close to the patient, whether in hospitals, clinics, emergency settings, pharmacies, home healthcare, or remote locations. Faster diagnosis leads to earlier treatment, improved workflow efficiency, and better patient outcomes while reducing the burden on centralized healthcare facilities. Our portable processing platform supports this shift toward decentralized healthcare by providing reliable, easy-to-use diagnostic technology that delivers rapid clinical information wherever it is needed. The modular design ensures long-term adaptability, enabling future diagnostic capabilities to be integrated into the same platform as healthcare requirements continue to evolve. As a medical device startup operating from Copenhagen, we are committed to advancing digital health through innovation, engineering excellence, and regulatory compliance. Our long-term vision is to establish a comprehensive modular PoC platform that supports multiple medical applications and contributes to a more accessible, efficient, and patient-centered system.

Kompose

Most companies know they need to move on AI. The challenge isn’t awareness - it’s knowing where and how to start and keep momentum. That’s the kind of problems we work on at Kompose. Working at Kompose means being part of a small, highly focused team that builds side by side. We combine deep technical expertise with hands-on delivery, helping professional services firms and larger enterprises move from complexity to working, production-ready AI solutions. No slide decks for the sake of it. No pseudo-work. We focus on real use cases and ship solutions that deliver visible results. We move fast and prioritise momentum. If something doesn’t create value for the customer, we don’t do it. Good ideas win - regardless of title. Feedback is direct and constructive. Mistakes are fine; carelessness and unnecessary complexity are not. Our days are collaborative. We start each morning with a short check-in and spend most of our time working closely together in the office in Christianshavn. There’s space for deep focus and space for discussion. Transparency is the norm - about challenges, trade-offs, and decisions. We experiment constantly and apply AI in our own workflows. We test new tools, refine how we build, and continuously evolve our delivery framework so we get sharper with every project. You’re trusted to own your work and see it through - from idea to production. We’re ambitious and growing organically, but we believe good work requires balance. Some weeks are intense, others lighter. We swim in the canals every week (even in winter) and during summer we hold meetings on a rented boat. Lean team. High trust. Real responsibility. Real impact.

IKALENE

We are building a travel safety platform for individual travelers. Travel remains a strong driver of connection and understanding, but it now takes place in a more complex global environment. Geopolitical instability, climate-related events, health risks, and sudden local disruptions have become more frequent and less predictable. At the same time, international mobility remains high, and people continue to travel across borders for leisure, work, and personal reasons. Our research shows a clear gap between the desire to travel and the confidence to do so. In our survey work, a majority of respondents indicate that they would value a solution that combines timely safety warnings with practical, location-specific guidance. Market trends point in the same direction: travelers are increasingly attentive to safety and preparedness, while existing information sources remain fragmented, generic, or difficult to apply in real situations. Our purpose is to make travel safety clearer, more relevant, and easier to act on. We are developing a technology-based approach that brings together trusted international data, local context, and intelligent processing to support better decisions before and during travel. The focus is not on providing more information, but on providing the right information at the right time. The platform is structured around two core elements. The first is warnings and alerts when relevant incidents or changes occur. The second is a practical “411 guide” that provides contextual information about local conditions, norms, and considerations that matter for safety and confidence while traveling. Together, these elements form a consistent safety layer that follows the individual traveler, independent of destination. Technology and AI are essential to this approach. By aggregating multiple data sources and applying contextual filtering, we reduce noise and increase relevance. This allows complex and fast-changing situations to be translated into clear guidance that travelers can understand and use. We believe this represents a necessary evolution in travel technology. Safety is no longer a separate concern handled through static advice or manual checks. It needs to be integrated into the travel experience itself, in a way that supports mobility rather than restricting it. Our long-term ambition is to contribute to safer, more confident travel in a changing world. By improving access to relevant information and reducing uncertainty, we believe technology can help people continue to explore, connect, and engage across borders with greater awareness and responsibility. Travel safely, Explore freely.

Capipal

Capipal is an AI-native company building an intelligent agent for credit analysis. We’re rethinking how credit decisions are made — moving away from fragmented spreadsheets, static reports, and manual workflows toward an AI system that can read, understand, and act on financial information end-to-end. Capipal’s agent analyzes companies using financial models, credit scoring frameworks, and real-world data to produce structured outputs such as credit assessments, risk analyses, and decision recommendations. Beyond analysis, the agent can execute manual workflows — from document handling and data extraction to ongoing case management — enabling a fully integrated, agentic approach to credit work. Instead of supporting analysts, we’re building a system that can operate like one — augmenting or automating large parts of the credit decision process while keeping humans in the loop. We’re at an early stage, moving fast, and exploring fundamental questions around trust, accountability, and human-AI collaboration in financial decision-making. We’re looking for builders who thrive in ambiguity, take ownership, and want to shape the future of how capital is allocated.

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.

Frank Founders

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.
