I Danmark har vi et par kedelige statistiker, 1 ud af 6 akademikere har ikke et job et år efter endt uddannelse, og af dem der har et job, er 1 ud af 5 i et job de er overkvalificeret til. Samtidig har der aldrig været en større jagt efter nye talenter. Men jagten kommer med en pris, oftere rammer virksomhederne simpelthen forkert. Randstad har regnet ud af det i snit koster 500.000 kr at skifte en akademiker ud på en dansk arbejdsplads. Det er rasende dyrt at hyre den forkert medarbejder. Vi er Excelerate og vi har en løsning der kan sænke arbejdsløsheden blandt nyuddannede akademikere, samt spare virksomheder for både tid og penge når de skal hyre nyuddannede akademikere. Løsningen er en platform der matcher universitetsstuderende på deres sidste år af uddannelsen med virksomheder med henblik på speciale samarbejde. De studerende vil bruge platformen fordi vi gratis øger deres eksponering for potentielle speciale samarbejdsvirksomheder. Virksomhederne vil bruge platformen som et lead genererings værktøj til nemt og billigt at tage nye graduates ind. Excelerate opfylder enhver HR / hiring managers drøm : En ikke-comittende smagsprøve på hvordan en kommende medarbejdere er at arbejde sammen med. Det vil drastisk nedjustere antallet af bad hires, hvilket spare virksomheden for en masse penge, og vil hjælpe gevaldigt på churn raten.

We're rethinking human-AI interaction from first principles to be more natural, enabling the next generation of conversational AI products. Today's AI conversations feel constrained because they rely on a turn-based interaction model—speak, wait, listen, repeat. Real human dialogue doesn't work this way. It's fluid, overlapping, and full of real-time feedback. True conversational fluency requires the ability to interrupt, provide instant reactions, and engage in the dynamic back-and-forth that characterizes authentic communication. We're building a full-duplex conversational speech model and developer-friendly SDKs for natural, simultaneous two-way communication with AI agents.

We're on a mission to help financial professionals (actually) use AI.

WOOF is an ambitious Danish edtech company on a mission to create better conditions for learning by improving student well-being, engagement, and classroom relationships. Founded by teachers, WOOF was created in response to a challenge experienced in classrooms everywhere: educators need simple and meaningful ways to understand how their students are doing—and practical tools that help them act on those insights. Through short, anonymous student check-ins, WOOF gives every student a voice while providing teachers and school leaders with a clear, real-time picture of classroom well-being. But WOOF is much more than a measurement tool. The platform turns insights into action through engaging activities, structured conversations, and practical resources that help teachers strengthen relationships and build positive learning environments. By making well-being visible and actionable, WOOF enables schools to address challenges early and create classrooms where students feel seen, supported, and ready to learn. Today, WOOF is used by educators and schools across several international markets, including Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and the United States. From its Copenhagen base, the company brings together education, technology, and a strong sense of purpose. WOOF is a growing, collaborative organisation where ideas move quickly, individual contributions matter, and the team shares a clear ambition: to improve everyday school life for teachers and students around the world.

KlubPlus is a Danish SportsTech startup on a mission to make life easier for the thousands of volunteers who run local sports clubs and outdoor communities. Today, volunteers spend far too much time juggling disconnected tools for websites, memberships, event registrations, payments, emails and spreadsheets. Administrative work often takes time away from what really matters: building communities, organising activities and creating great experiences for members. KlubPlus brings everything together in one modern platform. Clubs can manage their website, members, events, registrations, payments and communication from a single place, while members enjoy a simple and seamless digital experience. Our vision is to become the digital home for community-driven sports clubs and organisations, helping them spend less time on administration and more time on people. After just over a year of development, the platform is live, paying customers are onboard, and interest continues to grow. We are now entering the next phase: validating our business model, accelerating growth and building a sustainable company. As a small founder-led startup, every new team member has real influence. You won't be joining a large organisation with fixed roles – you'll work closely with the founder and help shape both the product and the business. Your ideas and contributions will have a direct impact on the future of KlubPlus.

1. Short description RoboConnect is developing an independent, AI-supported platform that helps industrial companies turn tacit and fragmented process knowledge into a clear, decision-relevant automation case — before supplier dialogue begins. 2. The problem Many industrial companies know they need to automate, but struggle to define what should be automated, what is causing the problem and whether the process is ready for investment. The people closest to production often understand the process well, but this knowledge may be spread across operators, engineers and management, poorly documented or mixed with assumptions and missing data. The customer may therefore approach the market with an unclear problem description and incomplete information. System integrators then have to reconstruct the customer’s process understanding and collect missing data before a meaningful solution dialogue can begin. This creates uncertainty, longer clarification phases, weak or difficult-to-compare proposals and projects that stall early. The core problem is not a lack of technology or suppliers. It is that the knowledge needed to make a good early automation decision is often tacit, fragmented and difficult to transfer. 3. The solution RoboConnect starts by understanding the customer’s process, challenges and actual needs. The RoboConnect AI Advisor conducts a guided professional conversation that helps the company describe how production works today, what it wants to improve, which constraints matter and what information is still missing. The AI Advisor brings together information from different parts of the organisation, separates facts from assumptions and uncertainty, identifies knowledge gaps and risks, and turns unclear issues into practical next actions. The result is a shared and structured automation basis that can be developed into a supplier-ready project brief. Relevant projects can then be connected with suitable system integrators, technology suppliers and R&D environments. This gives the customer greater decision confidence and solution providers a better starting point. RoboConnect is not building a generic chatbot. The platform combines a domain-specific workflow, structured project data and knowledge from industrial cases, expert interviews and feedback from customers and automation partners. Over time, this strengthens clarification, project maturation and matching. The first focused area is welding automation and high-mix, low-volume manufacturing. The longer-term ambition is to expand across other automation categories and build a Nordic platform for early-stage automation clarification and matching. 4. Business model and commercial opportunity RoboConnect creates value on both sides of the market. Industrial companies receive a clearer and safer starting point, while automation partners gain access to better-qualified customer opportunities. The current model is based mainly on supplier-side revenue through fees for qualified matches and successful projects. Future revenue streams may include paid AI-assisted readiness reports, supplier subscriptions, premium access and category-specific products. The model is now being validated through pilots and early customer projects. Norway is the validation market, with Sweden as the first intended scale-up market. 5. Why I started RoboConnect The motivation came from repeated conversations with industrial companies, automation experts and system integrators. I saw that many projects became uncertain long before technology was selected. Companies needed a more independent and structured way to understand their own situation before entering a supplier-led process. With a background in research, data analysis and complex problem structuring, combined with further training in programming, databases and AI, I founded RoboConnect to bridge the gap between industrial process knowledge and automation delivery.
