Tind Studio is an AI consultancy that helps Nordic businesses turn AI from hype into working solutions, through hands-on advisory, custom implementations, and team enablement. Most companies know AI will reshape their business but don't know where to start. Tools are everywhere, vendors overpromise, and internal teams lack the time and expertise to separate signal from noise. The result: stalled pilots, wasted spend, and missed competitive advantage. We work side-by-side with leadership and operational teams to identify high-value AI use cases, build custom solutions (agents, automations, internal tools, AI-powered workflows), and train teams to actually use them. Pragmatic, fast, and focused on real business outcomes, not demos. The Why Founder Joakim saw too many companies burning budget on AI projects that never shipped or never got adopted. Tind exists to close that gap, turning AI from a boardroom topic into measurable results in the day-to-day work.

Stazion is the AI Sales Engineer for industrial machinery manufacturers. Manufacturers of complex industrial equipment lose deals because proposals take weeks to draft. Sales engineers juggle product specs, technical drawings, and pricing across Word and Excel while customers wait. Errors slip through. Margins suffer. Stazion changes that. We turn datasheets, brochures, and past proposals into a living knowledge base that drafts technical proposals in hours and answers customer questions instantly. What used to take days or weeks moves to a single afternoon, with fewer errors and faster customer response. We are working with Nordic machinery manufacturers as design partners to build a product shaped by real proposal workflows, not assumptions about them. Our beachhead is the Nordics, with expansion planned into DACH and the wider European industrial market. Founded in 2026 by Victor Bergholt (CEO) and Trevon Fernando (CTO). Headquartered in Copenhagen.

We combine a scalable SaaS platform with tailored implementation and fast execution, integrating seamlessly with existing systems and delivering measurable results in weeks.

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.

Bokföring för alla småföretagare. Man startar inte företag för att blanda ihop konton, googla momssatser eller stirra på en kontoplan klockan 22 på söndagen. Man startar företaget för att man är bra på något helt annat. Ändå tvingas tusentals svenska småföretagare betala dyra licensavgifter och allt från 15 000 till 50 000 kronor om året till en byrå för uppgifter som faktiskt går snabbt om verktyget är byggt för företagaren och inte för en redovisningskonsult. Det var precis den frustrationen som blev Lumion. Vi tog bort allt som inte hjälper företagaren, förbättrade det som måste vara rätt och prissatte det så att alla har råd: 99 kr / månad.

Sunny Life is a Copenhagen-based startup shaking up the spread game with sunflower seed butters in flavors you won’t find anywhere else.

As a small but growing team, you’ll work closely with the founder and get a behind-the-scenes look at how a business is built from the ground up.

PayTjek is developing an AI-powered payroll verification platform that helps employees detect and resolve salary discrepancies through automated collective agreement analysis and intelligent error detection. Payroll errors are a widespread and costly problem, with billions lost each year because employees never uncover them. Payslips are often complex and difficult to understand without specialist knowledge of collective agreements and labor laws — expertise usually reserved for lawyers, union representatives, and HR professionals. This leaves everyday workers, from healthcare staff to teachers, at risk of losing money they are rightfully owed. PayTjek democratizes payroll expertise. Employees simply upload their payslip, and our AI analyzes salary data, cross-references it with relevant collective agreements, checks against work schedules and contracts, and flags discrepancies or missing payments. The results are delivered in clear, plain language, giving workers both understanding and actionable next steps. Our technology is built to interpret even the most complex Danish labor agreements, with a roadmap to expand across European markets. We are driven by a strong sense of fairness. Payroll verification has long been out of reach for the people who need it most. Without the right tools, employees have been left powerless in the face of errors. PayTjek exists to change that — to return knowledge, transparency, and financial control to workers, starting with healthcare employees in Denmark and expanding to empower workers across Europe.

At Clause Out we know that it’s impossible to make good decisions, when policy makers are out of touch with real life consequences - and this didn't start with the current administration. We aim to give people in the U.S. an easy-to-use platform that provides them clear insight into all things moving about in the policy space, as well as a channel to voice their opinion on these developments. At the same time, we offer political advocacy groups the opportunity to test their policy drafts with the public and keep up with important updates on the policies close to their cause. In short, we're building a platform to bring people and policy closer together.

Affluency is an AI-powered Co-Pilot for traders and investors, a platform that combines advanced trade journaling, personal development, and real-time feedback to help users achieve both financial and mental mastery. We’re solving a major problem in the trading world: Most traders don’t fail due to poor strategy, they fail due to a lack of discipline, emotional control, and self-analysis. Our platform collects and analyzes trading data, emotional patterns, and behavioral decisions to deliver AI-generated insights in real-time. Through interactive widgets, structured checklists, and psychological feedback, Affluency becomes a daily companion that helps users grow, not only as traders, but as individuals. We are bridging the gap between technical trading and mental performance, a connection that has been largely overlooked in the market. Why now? The timing has never been better. The global surge in retail trading and investing combined with the rise of AI has created a massive demand for smarter, more personalized trading tools. Millions of traders are entering the market, yet most platforms still focus only on technical features, ignoring the psychological and behavioral aspects that truly define long-term success. At the same time, the fintech ecosystem is rapidly evolving, and users now expect intelligent, real-time support that adapts to their unique trading behavior and emotional patterns. Affluency is at the intersection of these trends. By launching now, we meet a growing demand for tools that go beyond charts and indicators, tools that help traders master their discipline, emotions, and strategic decision-making through AI-driven insights and personal development. We’re not just riding a wave, we’re shaping the next generation of trading platforms.

The problem we address is the growing struggle parents face in managing their children's digital well-being. Kids today are exposed to excessive screen time, social media pressures, and online risks, yet most existing parental controls focus on restrictions rather than guiding healthy digital habits. Why this problem is pressing: Mental Health Risks: Increased screen time and unmonitored online activity contribute to anxiety, depression, and sleep issues in children. Ineffective Tools: Most parental controls rely on blocking and monitoring, leading to conflicts and workarounds rather than fostering responsible digital use. Parental Overwhelm: Parents lack the time and knowledge to constantly monitor and guide their child’s digital habits effectively.
