Cirqle Biomedical

Our mission is to create a contraceptive technology that renders hormonal birth control obsolete. We are addressing the millions of women that are demanding non-hormonal products with fewer side-effects to manage their fertility. Today, nearly 60 years after the first oral contraceptive pill was sold, most prescription birth control methods are variations on the same synthetic hormones. In collaboration with the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, we have developed a technology that reinforces the natural barrier properties of cervical mucus. The principle of the technology is to use topically-applied biopolymers to make cervical mucus impenetrable to sperm cells throughout the menstrual cycle. Our approach enables a potentially groundbreaking product that protects within a minute and for extended periods without the systemic side-effects known from hormonal contraceptives. In 2019 we raised $1.8M for pre-clinical development. Today we are incubated at the BioInnovation Institute, conveniently located in central Copenhagen, with access to state-of-the-art labs.

Sitova

Sitova is a Finnish online service that lets people prepare important family and inheritance documents themselves, step by step, at a fixed price. The problem: almost every Finnish family will at some point need documents like an estate inventory (perukirja), an estate distribution agreement, a will or a continuing power of attorney. These documents have strict legal form requirements, such as witnesses, signatures and registration, and some have statutory deadlines. Most people do this only once or twice in their lives, often during a stressful time such as the death of a parent. Their options have been to pay a law firm or bank several hundred euros or more, or to fill in a generic template and hope it is legally valid. Our solution: Sitova asks plain-language questions in Finnish and turns the answers into a finished, legally structured PDF. It comes with clear instructions on how to sign it, who can act as a witness and where to file it. The service covers ten documents: estate inventories, estate distribution agreements, wills, continuing powers of attorney, prenuptial agreements, property division agreements, deeds of gift, promissory notes, powers of attorney and bills of sale. Previews are free and prices are fixed, so users know the cost before they commit. Why now: Finnish authorities are moving estate matters online, and people increasingly expect to handle legal paperwork the same way they handle banking. Simple, uncontested cases do not need hours of billed legal work. Alongside the service we publish free guides, inheritance and gift tax calculators, and an open dataset (CC BY 4.0) on the legal requirements, authority fees and deadlines of these documents.

Hermodex

Hermodex builds BikeOffice, the operating system for independent bike shops and workshops. The Nordic bike retail market is full of skilled, independent shops that run on paper, spreadsheets and a dozen disconnected supplier portals. Finding the right spare part means logging into one distributor after another, e-bike error codes and service manuals are scattered across PDFs, and workshop staff spend hours on admin instead of fixing bikes. BikeOffice brings it all into one place: product search across all major suppliers at once with live stock levels, AI-powered derailleur hanger identification from a photo (300+ models), e-bike manuals and error codes for Bosch, Yamaha, Bafang and Ananda, workshop and repair management, point of sale, pricing, automated Blocket listings synced with stock, price tag generation and customer messaging. We are built from inside the industry. Hermodex was founded by people who run a bike shop and workshop themselves, and every tool is tested daily in a live store before it reaches customers. Today BikeOffice is used by paying bike retailers in Sweden, and our goal is to become the default platform for independent bike shops across the Nordics and Europe.

TWIND Solutions

TWIND Solutions is a wind-tech startup building lifecycle intelligence SaaS solutions for the energy industry. We are a small team with deep wind engineering background. Our portfolio is composed of two SaaS products, and services related to numerical load analysis, life extension assessment, and general health and performance analysis of the wind energy projects.

Matrix Zone

Building Matrix — a platform combining physical activity, social competition and community. Currently working on the first version of the product, school activations, events and the team around the project. My goal is to make physical activity more engaging by turning it into something people want to participate in, compete in and share with others.

Aprex

Aprex is a Norwegian software company from Tønsberg that builds practical AI systems, automation, integrations and custom software for Nordic businesses with manual, operational workflows. Many companies still run on spreadsheets, copy and paste between systems, and tools that look great in a demo but fall apart on a busy Monday morning. We fix that one workflow at a time. We map the data, roles and risk, build a narrow first version, and test it with real users before anything is scaled. A typical pilot takes 2 to 6 weeks. What we build: AI solutions (internal copilots, RAG, AI agents and document flow), automation, integrations, custom software, mobile apps and websites. Aprex was founded in 2026 by Preben Skatvedt Ruud and Alexander Terje Loe Balsnes. We are a small team, and you always talk to the people who design, build and run the software.

Propvision

Propvision is building the AI sidekick for Danish landlords. When a tenant moves out, most landlords face hours of photo editing, listing writing and copy-pasting across portals. We turn that into a few clicks. Our secret sauce: one platform that brightens and furnishes photos, writes the listing, and gets it out everywhere in minutes, built by people who have spent 20+ years in the rental trenches. Every day a rental home sits vacant, the landlord loses money. You'd think filling it would be quick. It isn't. A tenant gives notice, and the landlord's to-do list explodes. Take photos (usually of dark, empty rooms nobody can picture living in). Write a listing from scratch. Type the same details into one portal, then another, then the website, then Facebook. Repeat for the next vacancy, and the next. It's slow, it's boring, and it's expensive. Many landlords pay assistants or agencies just to keep up. Meanwhile the home sits empty and the rent doesn't come in. This happens to every landlord in Denmark, from the guy with three apartments to housing associations with thousands, every time someone moves out. We took the whole re-letting marketing mess and put it in one place. Upload your photos, and our AI brightens the dark ones in seconds and furnishes the empty rooms, so tenants see a home instead of four white walls. Add a floor plan and a few details, like the nearby school or bus stop, and Propvision writes the listing and the social posts before your coffee is done. Then one click publishes to Denmark's largest rental portals, schedules posts on Facebook and Instagram, and updates the listing viewer on your own website. Interested tenants submit their details through a secure link. Because we integrate with the admin systems landlords already use, nobody types the same thing twice. And it's working. More than 50 customers, including Himmerland Boligforening, Viva Bolig and Bolig Kronjylland, use Propvision to manage a combined portfolio of 20,000–25,000 homes. Not bad for something that started as a side project. We're just getting started. We're doing this because we've lived the problem. We know what an empty apartment costs, and we know how mind-numbing the manual work is. Our goal is simple: make re-letting fast, easy and maybe even a little fun, for landlords and tenants alike.

Greatwill

Greatwill is Finnish consolidation software built for preparing consolidated financial statements under the Finnish Accounting Act (FAS, Finnish GAAP). It breaks the consolidation down into group events: each event is a short form, and the elimination entries, reconciliations and the consolidation worksheet are generated from the data entered in the forms. There is a form for every group event: founding and acquiring a subsidiary, intra-group income, expenses, receivables and payables, unrealised margins in inventory and fixed assets, intra-group dividends, translation differences of foreign subsidiaries, minority interests, the transfer of depreciation differences and tax-based reserves to equity and deferred tax, equity-method accounting for associates, and the sale or merger of a subsidiary. Each form asks only for what matters; exchange rates, tax effects and minority shares are handled automatically. The subsidiaries' own bookkeeping stays untouched. Each company prepares its financial statements in its own accounting software, and the finished statements are imported into Greatwill as files. They are mapped automatically to the FAS group chart of accounts, and accounts marked as intra-group are eliminated directly from the imported figures. A form filled in once carries over to the following financial years: goodwill amortisation, the unwinding of purchase price allocations and recurring eliminations are generated automatically for later periods. Reconciliation statements reveal forgotten or incorrectly filled forms, and every elimination entry can be traced back to the form it came from. The consolidation worksheet, the financial statements and the general journal and ledger are downloaded as Excel files, and auditors can be given read-only access directly in the system. Pricing is based on a base fee plus the forms the group needs, not on user counts or revenue. Data is stored in the EU. Greatwill Oy was founded in 2024 and is based in Helsinki, Finland.

Fliprworld

Fliprworld is a personal story universe for families with kids aged 5-10. The child, their siblings, and even the family pet are always the same recurring characters, appearing in story after story, complete with text, illustrations, and narration, ready in under 2 minutes. The problem: parents want to give their kids a rich, imaginative storytime, but by evening they're out of ideas. The same three books get read again and again, or the ritual gets replaced by a screen. Tools like ChatGPT technically let you generate a story, but they hand the work back to the parent: write a good prompt, judge if it's age-appropriate, find an image, read it aloud yourself. That's not less work, it's a new kind of work. Flipr removes that work entirely. A parent (or child) types what they feel like today, a jungle adventure, a school problem turned into a story, a birthday surprise, and Flipr turns it into a complete, age-appropriate story with pictures and narration in under 2 minutes. No prompting skills required, no editing, no illustrating. What makes Fliprworld different isn't a single good story, it's the universe. The child, siblings, and pet are always the same recurring characters, whichever new adventure gets created. Each story stands on its own, there's no plot to keep track of or catch up on, but the cast is always familiar. So kids don't just get a random story, they get themselves and their family showing up, again and again, in whatever world they dream up that day. Why we're building this: the target parent isn't anti-screen, they're time-poor. They already value the ritual of story time and want their kids engaged rather than passively consuming content, but they don't have the bandwidth to be a creative director every single night. Fliprworld gives them that ritual back without the labor, and gives kids something screen-based that is genuinely productive: reading, listening, imagining, not scrolling. We see this going beyond bedtime. The same personal universe works for long car rides, waiting rooms, or a rainy Sunday afternoon, any moment where a parent needs to hand their child something engaging that also feels good to hand over. Our first market is the Nordics (Denmark, Norway, Sweden), where storytime is a deeply held ritual and parents are screen-time conscious but not screen-time averse, making them the ideal early adopters before we expand further.

Pizzastenen.dk

Pizzastenen.dk is an independent Danish guide to pizza stones and baking steel. We compare the materials they are made from — cordierite, ceramic, terracotta, lava stone and steel — and explain what actually decides the result: how long to preheat, what temperature to aim for, how to get the pizza off the peel, and how to use the stone on a grill instead of in the oven. We run no shop and hold no stock; the site is funded by affiliate links and exists to help readers choose the right stone the first time.

MentMarkers

Ment Markers is a healthtech and longevity platform that helps people understand their health, make better decisions, and take preventive action. Today, millions of people collect health data from wearables, apps, and medical tests, but most don't know how to turn that information into meaningful action. Ment Markers solves this by transforming complex health data into simple, personalized guidance. The platform combines a premium app, a personal AI health assistant, wearable data, blood tests, and healthcare partnerships to create a complete health profile. Users receive clear recommendations and actionable next steps based on their unique health data and goals. Our mission is to make preventive healthcare more accessible by helping people build healthier habits, improve their quality of life, and live longer, healthier lives.

Baser

Baser Baser is a family-owned, direct-to-consumer brand designing premium parasols, patio umbrellas, and bases. Founded on Scandinavian design principles, radical honesty, and a genuine commitment to sustainability, we help families across Europe and Australia make outdoor shade decisions they won't regret. We currently operate across four markets — Denmark, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Australia — with the ambition to become the modern market leader in e-commerce shade solutions across Australia, the US, the UK, and Europe. It's a category that has been overlooked for decades, and we see clear white space to build something better. What makes us different Nearly every umbrella in the world is produced by the same handful of factories and sold the same impersonal way: through retailers, marketplaces, and middlemen with no real relationship to the end customer. We took the opposite path. Baser is a fully digital, content-led, direct-to-consumer brand — and as far as we know, the only one in our category combining mid-to-high quality, an online-first model, content leadership, and genuinely personal service. That personal service is central to who we are. Instead of chatbots and call centres, customers get real, human guidance — including founder-led advice that helps them choose exactly the right product for their space. We'd rather educate someone honestly than push them toward the most expensive option, and that approach has earned us the trust of thousands of families. Products built to last We don't believe shade should be disposable. Our products are engineered to outlast the seasons and the trends: 100% aluminium frames — no rust, no wobble, wind-tested to 50 km/h Solution-dyed fabrics that hold their colour for years rather than fading after one summer Certified UV protection up to UPF 80+, with real, verifiable numbers PFAS-free across the entire range — safe for families and the environment GRS-certified recycled materials throughout, including our patented sandbag base system Backed by a 5-year spare-parts guarantee and a 10-year frame guarantee If something breaks, we fix it. We're building products people keep, not replace. Our values and culture We're a small, ambitious team that takes our work seriously without taking ourselves too seriously. We value honesty over hype, quality over shortcuts, and specificity over vague claims. We're transparent about how and where our products are made, and proud of the quality behind them. Above all, we're building a company where people feel trusted, supported, and clear on what success looks like — grounded in strong human values and high standards, as we grow into new markets around the world.

alma madmarked

alma er byens nye madmarked med fokus på økologi, kvalitet og ordentlige råvarer. Indtil videre findes vores butikker i København og på Frederiksberg, men vi har flere på vej. alma er opkaldt efter grundlægger Alfred Josefsens bedstemor fra Thy, der værnede om lokale råvarer af god kvalitet. Den tanke har vi videreført, så den afspejles i vores butikker og varesortiment, der er sammensat ud fra principper som autenticitet, økologi, det lokale og sæson. Vi kalder alma et madmarked, fordi vi er er sted, der primært handler med madvarer og drikkevarer. Derfor vil vi ikke have et stort udvalg af alle mulig andre varer, der ikke kan spises eller drikkes. Med alma giver vi danskerne nemmere adgang til økologi. Vi samler de bedste, sundeste, grønneste kvalitetsvarer på tværs af alle kategorier, så vores kunder får nemmere ved at træffe et bevidst valg, der er til glæde for både dem selv og planeten. Vi skaber en bedre indkøbsoplevelse og har fokus på den behagelige butiksindretning og det nærværende møde mellem vores medarbejdere og vores kunder. På denne måde håber vi at blive det foretrukne indkøbssted for ansvarsbevidste kunder, som nyder god mad, men samtidig går op i at passe på planeten.
