DiFacto is an AI-powered SaaS startup based in Aarhus at Incuba, automating invoice auditing for companies with complex supplier and rebate agreements — starting with the Danish construction industry. The problem: Construction companies operate under intricate price agreements with major suppliers like STARK, XL-Byg, and others. These agreements contain volume discounts, seasonal rebates, and project-based pricing. In practice, invoices frequently deviate from the agreed terms — but checking them manually is time-consuming, expensive, and requires specialist knowledge that most SMEs simply don't have. Our own pilot data shows that around 10% of all invoices contain errors or rebate breaches, putting 1–1.5% of total procurement volume at risk. Why we built it: We spent 14 months manually analysing hundreds of real price agreements and invoice structures from Denmark's largest building suppliers. That deep understanding became the foundation for a platform that does in 30 seconds what a trained analyst would take hours to do. Our core engine reads invoices via OCR, converts them to structured data, and cross-references them algorithmically against the client's price agreements — flagging every discrepancy automatically. Why now: We have a working MVP, real pilot customers, and a clear path to a commercially scalable product. We're a small team of three co-founders building something technically complex in a space with almost no direct competition. This means an intern won't just watch from the sidelines — you'll work directly on live problems, contribute to a microservice-based backend architecture, and learn how to build AI-driven data pipelines in a real startup environment at Incuba, Aarhus.

ABOUT Insurance is one of the biggest recurring household costs - yet the market is built on complexity: dense policies, hard comparisons, and increasingly individualised pricing with little transparency. The result is predictable: people overpay for years, miss critical coverage, or both - and often only find out when it's too late. We're building the consumer layer for private insurance, making it behave like a modern product. Upload your policies and, in under a minute, our AI turns fine print into clear answers: where you're over- or underinsured, where the gaps are, and where you're likely paying too much. We benchmark each policy against an anonymised pool of real policies to recommend better-matched alternatives - shifting knowledge and pricing power back to households. We're early-stage, moving fast, and already proving the need: 50+ customer interviews, 10 households switched, ~28% average savings while improving coverage - plus validation from senior industry professionals, a top-performing insurance salesperson on the team, and initial pre-seed backing from a Bain & Company partner.

Silicon Valhalla is a Nordic tech intelligence hub that maps startups, founders, investors, and market signals across the Nordic region, with a particular emphasis on AI, SaaS, and frontier innovation. It exists to make the “Silicon Valhalla” ecosystem - Nordic tech’s answer to Silicon Valley - more visible, navigable, and investable for founders, operators, and capital. The platform combines a curated startup directory, an events calendar, and ecosystem insights into a single, neutral entry point for Nordic tech. Startups and scaleups get structured profiles highlighting what they do, where they are based, which sector they play in, and how to reach them, while investors and partners can quickly scan emerging companies across AI, climate, fintech, deep tech, and more. A continuously updated view of companies and activity aims to surface momentum early, so users can spot new categories, breakout teams, and upcoming fundraising stories before they hit the mainstream. Silicon Valhalla is designed to be independent and ecosystem-first rather than a job board or paywalled database. The service is currently free to use, making discovery accessible while opening the door for future premium offerings such as featured profiles, highlighted events, and deeper signal products for investors and corporates. In short, Silicon Valhalla is building the default map and narrative for Nordic tech: a living overview of the startups, talent, and ideas turning the region into one of the most dynamic innovation hubs in Europe.

Venli is the world’s first Agent Management System (AMS) for hospitality. An AMS is the layer that lets you manage all AI operations from a single platform. Venli connects directly to the most widely used hospitality systems, scrapes your website to build a live knowledge base, and creates a unified access layer where AI agents can perform real actions, not just respond to requests. Hotels use Venli to deploy guest-facing agents across SMS, voice, WhatsApp, and web that handle bookings, service requests, and operational tasks, while background agents automate reporting, planning, and internal workflows using live PMS, CRM, and revenue data. Everything runs in one system, with agents, integrations, and instructions working together in harmony. The result is AI that removes operational friction, reduces manual work for staff, and functions like a digital operations layer rather than a collection of disconnected tools.

Dimmi is an early-stage Danish legaltech SaaS start-up revolutionising how European companies navigate the complexities of immigration law across the European Union.

Eversay is a new social platform designed to help hosts and event planners spark meaningful connections among guests before, during, and after life's big moments -from weddings and birthdays to company parties and retreats. We're solving a common challenge: guests often don't know each other beforehand, and the connections made at events tend to fade quickly afterward. At the same time, photos and memories get scattered across private chats, cloud folders, and phones, and the host has to beg for them to get uploaded. Many of them are lost. Eversay brings it all together in one place: the guest list, playful introductions, a quirky (AI)event assistant, a shared media pool, and interactive tools that build excitement and a sense of belonging. We're reimagining the guest experience, focusing on human connection, shared joy, and effortless memory-making. Unlike most event or social platforms, we're building Eversay on Europe-first values: strong data privacy, ethical use of AI, and a deep respect for digital. Guests should feel as safe online as they do at the party. Our vision is to become the preferred, privacy-conscious alternative — rooted in European design principles and community spirit. We started in Denmark with endless global ambitions and roots in Copenhagen and Barcelona. Our goal is to become the go-to platform for social event engagement, where people don't just attend events; they feel part of something meaningful.

No-code workflow tool for automating and chaining AI prompts. Features a drag-and-drop builder, model flexibility, one-click sharing as apps, and reusable automation templates The biggest issue with working with prompt chaining in ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude is that the increased chat length makes the AI begin to hallucinate. For example, if you want to prompt the AI to write an article, it's almost impossible for it not to begin to make slop and ignore/forget your instructions. For most people, this tool will not be that interesting. Chat interfaces are king for quick questions. But if you've struggled with generating consistent, high quality, content using ChatGPT, then you know exactly the problem this solves.
