Minimapper is a Finnish proptech startup building an AI-powered tool for making real estate photos understandable. Our product helps property portals, brokerages, and landlords to make listings easier to understand by showing exactly where each photo was taken within the property. Minimapper adds a small floor plan minimap with a viewing marker to listing photos, giving property seekers a clear spatial understanding of the spaces from the very beginning. Even though floor plans and photos are two of the most important assets in real estate marketing, today, this crucial connection is often missing from property listings. Interior photos can look attractive, but users often struggle to understand how the rooms connect, where a photo was taken, and how the property actually feels as a layout. According to a user survey by leading Finnish property portal Etuovi.com, 80 % struggle with spacial understanding without Minimapper, and two-thirds want to see Minimapper in listings, as it helps 87 % to understand the spaces easier. Minimapper is available in all HOAS properties in the Helsinki region, where they manage over 10 000 apartments. In 2025 alone, Minimapper helped over 650,000 students to find their next home more easily. We are now developing Minimapper into an automated AI API that can process property listings at scale. The goal is to enable major real estate portals and listing platforms to automatically add minimaps to property photos whenever a floor plan is available. We are looking for a backend-focused full-stack developer to help build the backend systems, cloud infrastructure and integrations around our AI pipeline. Experience with APIs, scalable backend architecture, Google Cloud, Dart & Flutter, visual AI, image processing or real estate technology is especially relevant. This opportunity is best suited for someone who is motivated by startup ownership and long-term upside. Initially, the compensation is expected to be primarily option-based, with the aim of building a well-funded, scalable company together. Minimapper is at an exciting stage: the core AI product exists, market discussions are active, and the path is clearing toward scalable portal integrations. We are eager to talk to you and find out what we could achieve together.

Healthcare is under unprecedented pressure. Patient numbers are rising, workforces are shrinking, and clinical complexity is exploding. Yet clinicians still spend up to half their workday on administrative tasks, navigating fragmented systems and unstructured clinical data while making fast, high-stakes decisions. Gosta is building the AI operating system for healthcare. We turn fragmented clinical data, documentation, and care workflows into structured, actionable support — so healthcare providers can reduce administrative burden, improve coordination across care teams, and make more informed decisions. Our medical-grade platform automates clinical note generation in real time, structures patient data according to institutional standards, and links care decisions to evidence-based guidelines. Real-world results show clinicians completing follow-up documentation in a median of under two minutes, freeing meaningful time for direct patient care. Built in Finland on secure, ISO 27001–certified infrastructure and developed under IEC 62304 for medical software, Gosta is already trusted by leading healthcare providers across Europe — from large private providers and public wellbeing services to specialist centers in fields like oncology. Gosta Labs was founded in 2023 by Lauri Sippola and Henri Viertolahti, the team behind Kaiku Health (acquired by Elekta in 2020). Backed by Voima Ventures, COR Group, Reaktor and others, we're on a mission to give care teams back their time, headspace, and confidence — so every patient encounter can be safer, more personal, and less burdened by administration.

Velocity Insights is building a new class of analytical production systems that generate decision intelligence from a fully traceable evidence base. Most commonly used GenAI approaches generate narratives first and attempt to justify them during the text generation process — often resulting in outputs that are incomplete, difficult to verify, and not fully traceable to underlying evidence. Velocity Insights takes a different approach, structuring the evidence first and deriving every insight from it. This enables organizations to produce analytical outputs that are fully traceable, inspectable, and auditable — transforming how conclusions are validated in high-stakes decision environments. Designed for capital allocation and strategic decision-making, Velocity Insights enables enterprises across finance, life sciences, and technology to generate high-speed decision intelligence without sacrificing traceability or control. By combining data structuring, workflow design, and AI, the system establishes a new standard: analytical outputs that are fully verifiable, transparent, and trusted.

Ø12 was founded by Kasper and Enete, with a passion for Copenhagen’s café culture and a simple ambition: to create the kind of brunch place they felt was missing.

At Ø12, you can expect a fast-paced environment, high standards, and a strong sense of ownership. We care about craft, consistency, and helping each other grow. While keeping things fun and human along the way.

Vi bygger den første ægte DevOps-platform til Claris FileMaker. Hos Devin ApS er vi på en mission for at revolutionere et økosystem, der bruges af tusindvis af virksomheder verden over. Vi bygger den første rigtige DevOps-platform til Claris FileMaker—Apples mangeårige low-code økosystem, der driver kritiske workflows hos giganter som Apple selv, Coca-Cola, Samsung, den amerikanske flåde, samt utallige banker, lufthavne og hospitaler. Vi står over for en unik og spændende udfordring. FileMaker er, set med moderne ingeniør-briller, en lidt speciel størrelse. Det gemmer hele applikationer—database, logik, UI og rettigheder (alt)—i et proprietært binært filformat. Konsekvensen? Ingen versionsstyring. Ingen git. Ingen reel CI/CD. De fleste teams bygger stadig features direkte i produktionsmiljøet, simpelthen fordi de ikke har haft andre muligheder. Det er præcis derfor, Devin eksisterer. Vi tager en platform med enorm global udbredelse, men årtiers teknisk gæld, og bygger de værktøjer, den aldrig har haft. Vi skaber fremtiden for professionel udvikling i et økosystem, der har ventet på det i årevis. Dette er ikke bare en simpel integrationsopgave, det er State-of-the-Art Teknologi. Det er dybt teknisk, innovativt arbejde, der kræver præcision og vision. Vi arbejder med: System Services & Distribuerede Systemer: Vi bygger infrastrukturen, der får det hele til at hænge sammen. Data Architecture: Vi gentænker, hvordan data struktureres og håndteres i et legacy-miljø. Performance Engineering: Vi bygger verdens hurtigste algoritmer inden for vores felt. Nye Abstraktioner: Vi skaber de standarder, som 25.000+ FileMaker-udviklere verden over kommer til at bruge i fremtiden. Du behøver ingen erfaring med FileMaker—seriøst, nul. Betragt FileMaker som et domæne med et massivt fodaftryk, men næsten ingen moderne værktøjer. Vores founder, David, er en af verdens førende eksperter på platformen og har tætte relationer til Claris' engineering leadership. Mens du arbejder i en moderne tech-stack og løser hårde ingeniør-problemer, dækker han alt det domænespecifikke. Vi har allerede bevist, at behovet er der. Med Devin 1.x har vi valideret markedet, vi har sikret funding fra både angels og Innobooster, og vi er nu klar til næste kapitel: At genopbygge og skalere vores platform fra bunden til fremtiden. Når du bliver en del af Devin, træder du ind i den tekniske kerne af teamet. Vi er et lille, ambitiøst hold, hvor ejerskab og autonomi ikke bare er buzzwords, men fundamentet for vores arbejde. Direkte Indflydelse: Du bliver en del af et "founder-led" miljø, hvor dine beslutninger former produktet. Stærkt Netværk: Du får direkte synlighed i et niche-Apple-økosystem med stærk opbakning fra Claris. Ægte Innovation: Det er en sjælden chance for at bygge noget reelt nyt—næsten som at opfinde "Git for en platform, der aldrig havde Git". Vi holder til i fede kontorlokaler midt på Nørrebrogade, tæt på søerne. Her går vi op i fede faciliteter, god kaffe, og alt andet, der skaber præcis de kreative rammer, vores team efterspørger! Det skal være fedt at gå på arbejde. Vi glæder os til at byde dig velkommen på rejsen 😊 Er du klar til at bygge fundamentet? Hvis du motiveres af komplekse arkitektoniske udfordringer, algoritmedesign, problemløsning, og vil være med til at definere standarden i et vigtigt, men overset marked, så er Devin stedet for dig. Vi tilbyder muligheden for at vokse sammen med os, lede teknologiske gennembrud og sætte dit præg på fremtidens DevOps for mange af verdens største virksomheder.

Parlia AI is reimagining how Government Relations (GR) teams produce policy-facing documents. Today, these teams spend countless hours drafting structured, templated content — ministerial letters, submissions, talking points, and briefing notes. Our goal is to build a purpose-built AI platform that learns from an organisation’s historical materials to generate high-quality, on-brand, and policy-aligned outputs, freeing professionals to focus on strategy rather than manual drafting.

Denmark records what most countries can only estimate. Every company files its ownership, its capital changes, its management and its accounts in the public registers, continuously and by law. The registers are records, not answers. More than 825,000 companies own one another, up to nineteen levels deep. One business appears as many legal entities, and its investors sit several tiers above it. Venture Insights builds and operates Bifrost, the model that resolves that network into one structure: every firm, founder, investor and transaction, dated to the legal transaction date and traceable to the filing it came from. Focused deliberately on Denmark, it identifies roughly ten times as many priced investment deals as the leading international platforms. Institutions use it where the numbers have to hold, among them the Danish Business Authority, the Confederation of Danish Industry, EIFO and Copenhagen Fintech. Filed, not announced. Population, not sample. Exact, not estimated. ventureinsights.dk
