Tepui Agentic Labs is Europe’s first AI-native agentic data platform , built in Denmark from the ground up on EU-sovereign infrastructure for mid-market businesses trapped on legacy systems. Most mid-market companies across Europe are sitting on years of valuable business data locked inside outdated databases, spreadsheets, and disconnected systems. They have no data team to fix it, and enterprise solutions are priced for companies ten times their size. The result: critical business decisions made on gut feel, manual reports that take days to assemble, and institutional knowledge trapped in files nobody dares to touch. Tepui solves this with three product lines. Datarcon modernises legacy data, extracting, cleaning, and transforming it into a modern analytics layer the business actually owns. Our Sovereign SaaS platform lets companies run AI-powered tools on EU infrastructure with no data leaving European soil ,fully compliant, fully controlled. And Tonin, our autonomous 24/7 AI agent, monitors the business continuously, triggers alerts, generates reports, and answers operational questions in plain language. Tonin is not a chatbot , it is an always-on intelligence layer that works while the team sleeps. A standout feature of our AI agents is the Consciousness Core , an integrated ethics layer ensuring responsible AI behaviour and compliance with the EU AI Act from inception. Every agent decision is traceable, auditable, and explainable by design. The platform is built on an enterprise-grade 7-layer security architecture, fully EU-sovereign with no data leaving European soil. We serve multiple industry verticals across Denmark hospitality (restaurant groups, hotels), construction (mid-market contractors), social housing (almene boligorganisationer), investment funds (PE, VC, family offices), food suppliers, automotive (parts distributors, dealer groups), and law firms with additional verticals in development. Every vertical has the same problem: years of data locked in systems that never talk to each other. Same core product, different industry configuration. We are pre-seed, incubated at ITU NextGen Incubator 2026, and actively pursuing first pilot clients in Denmark.-sovereign deployment on European infrastructure as standard. Made in Denmark. Built for Europe.

GoZeek – Curiosity at its core GoZeek is a mission-driven startup using digital tools to spark children's natural curiosity and connect them with the cultural world around them. At the heart of GoZeek is a belief that curiosity is a powerful learning driver. Yet today, many children grow up disconnected from cultural experiences, especially those who don’t naturally find their way to museums, galleries, or libraries. We’re here to change that. GoZeek transforms cities and cultural spaces into playful discovery zones through simple, visual missions. Using our app, children explore their surroundings, solve small challenges, and see everyday places with new eyes – while building confidence and familiarity with cultural environments. For parents or grandparents, GoZeek is a tool to offer meaningful, cultural experiences that can be shared across generations. No need to be an expert – just be curious together. For museums, libraries, and cities, GoZeek provides a scalable and flexible way to reach a young audience, gather insights, and create new cultural access points. Because our solution is digital at its core, we’re uniquely positioned to generate insights across locations, users, and contexts. Whether a child explores a small town or a major museum, we can analyze behavior patterns, preferences, and engagement levels – offering valuable feedback to cultural institutions and urban planners alike. This cross-cutting perspective makes GoZeek a powerful tool not just for experiences, but for understanding them. We're building something unique: a digital product that supports analog discovery, designed to grow across locations, languages, and institutions. If you're passionate about children’s learning, cultural access, and the power of good digital design – GoZeek might be your next big adventure. Join us and help curiosity lead the way.
