GERM Bikes (Gravel, Electric, Road, Mountain) is an asset-light, tech-driven platform transforming premium bike retail and mobile maintenance. We bridge the gap between high-margin e-commerce and on-demand doorstep service. The Problem: The cycling market has shifted toward heavy electric cargo bikes and premium performance machines. These high-value assets are an absolute nightmare for customers to transport to traditional repair shops, where they face long wait times and unmotivated staff. Meanwhile, corporate mobile competitors are drowning in heavy overhead and corporate debt. The Solution: We vertically integrate the entire customer lifecycle. Customers buy premium bikes directly from our platform, receive expert doorstep assembly/fitting, and stay locked into our ecosystem through smart maintenance subscriptions. By utilizing a database of 130,000+ bike profiles and custom routing software, we run a hyper-efficient, highly profitable operation. To scale rapidly without burning capital on corporate fleets, we leverage a low-barrier franchise model that turns elite mechanics into motivated local owners. GERM Bikes matches traditional shop prices while unlocking massive margins and a predictable, recurring revenue engine.

Unioo is building a digital compliance and board management platform to help financial institutions and voluntary associations handle complex regulatory reporting—simply, securely, and without friction. 1. What problem are we solving? Associations in Europe are required by law to submit complex KYC and AML documentation to their financial institutions. This process is often confusing, paper-based, and time-consuming—especially for small, volunteer-run associations. At the same time, banks are struggling to comply with increasingly strict regulations without overloading internal teams or alienating nonprofit customers. 2. How are we solving it? Unioo provides a secure, plug-and-play digital platform where associations can easily complete their mandatory bank reporting. At the same time, they gain access to a suite of free digital board tools—meeting management, task tracking, file sharing and more. Banks receive fully compliant data packages with no internal resource strain. Associations stay compliant while benefiting from better tools for managing their boards. 3. Why are we doing this? We started Unioo as volunteers ourselves. We saw how much time was wasted on outdated processes, and how legal changes (like AML) were turning volunteer work into a bureaucratic burden. Then we realized: we could help both associations and banks by offering one unified solution—tailored for the unique needs of volunteer boards and aligned with financial institutions' regulatory requirements. 4. Why join us? We’re a fast-growing Danish startup backed by strong investors, trusted by 25+ financial institutions, and used by thousands of associations. Our team is small but ambitious—and deeply motivated by the impact we make. If you’re excited about simplifying bureaucracy, building elegant solutions, and empowering civil society, we’d love to meet you.

We are developing a platform to help owners of renewable power plants and their service providers gaining access to the right information at the right time, enabling the right decisions. In order to achieve this we deconstruct the hundreds of documents describing each plant into snippets of information in accordance with our domain-driven data model. In the next 7 years, the world needs to invest almost twice what has been invested into renewable energy generation in the last 20 years. At the same time subsidies are being rolled back, increasing the need to for ensuring that projected ROI is not compromised by underperformance of the investments (i.e. plants). We have lived the pain, and know that NOW is the time to transform the way commercial management of renewable energy plants is being done.
