Velocity Insights is building a new class of analytical production systems that generate decision intelligence from a fully traceable evidence base. Most commonly used GenAI approaches generate narratives first and attempt to justify them during the text generation process — often resulting in outputs that are incomplete, difficult to verify, and not fully traceable to underlying evidence. Velocity Insights takes a different approach, structuring the evidence first and deriving every insight from it. This enables organizations to produce analytical outputs that are fully traceable, inspectable, and auditable — transforming how conclusions are validated in high-stakes decision environments. Designed for capital allocation and strategic decision-making, Velocity Insights enables enterprises across finance, life sciences, and technology to generate high-speed decision intelligence without sacrificing traceability or control. By combining data structuring, workflow design, and AI, the system establishes a new standard: analytical outputs that are fully verifiable, transparent, and trusted.

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.

We are building a patented security and authentication solution designed to protect products against fraud, counterfeiting, and misuse — across industries, not only textiles. Many industries struggle with the same core problems: • Fraudulent returns • Counterfeit products • Lack of reliable product authentication • High manual control and verification costs Existing solutions are often expensive, complex, or limited to specific product types. Our solution is a patent-protected security seal that can be applied to any physical product with a surface, not just garments. It enables fast and reliable authentication, prevents product tampering, and creates traceability throughout the product’s lifecycle. The technology is simple, scalable, and does not require changes to existing logistics or IT systems. It can be used in fashion, electronics, luxury goods, consumer products, and other industries where product authenticity and return control matter. We hold a granted European patent covering 22 EU countries, (include UK) and the business is designed to scale globally through a licensing model. This allows partners to operate locally while we retain full ownership of the intellectual property. Our mission is to make product authentication and fraud prevention simple, scalable, and commercially viable, helping brands protect both revenue and trust.

CM Navigator A/S – part of Copenhagen Merchants Group - is the company behind the digital platform for market intelligence and decision support in the agri-commodity and freight sectors – CM Navigator. Founded by Copenhagen Merchants Group, CM Navigator was initially developed in-house (starting around 2018) to aggregate the wealth of tacit market knowledge held by the group’s brokers and shipping experts. It was subsequently launched as a commercial SaaS platform in 2022 and later incorporated as an independent company in 2023 (while remaining majority-owned by CM Group). What it offers: CM Navigator provides real-time data and analytics tools to track commodity markets and logistics: • Live Prices & Global Benchmarks: Users get daily updated prices from major export regions (North America, South America, Europe, Black Sea, Australia, etc.) and a global CFR price matrix covering 600+ destinations, allowing easy comparison of origin competitiveness. This helps traders see, for example, how US corn fob prices plus freight compare to Brazilian corn into a given import market. • Freight Forecasting: The platform includes advanced freight tools that let users search among 250,000+ bulk freight routes with up to 12-month forward curves. This essentially functions as an instant freight rate calculator: a trader can input a specific load port and discharge port (or even a combination for multi-leg trades) and get current freight cost estimates and future rates. Such capability, drawn from Navi Merchants’ data, simplifies evaluating the delivered cost of commodities. • Supply/Demand & Trade Flows: CM Navigator continuously updates global supply and demand balances for key crops, and tracks trade flows. It integrates official data with on-the-ground insights (e.g., port line-up information) to give an up-to-date picture of export/import volumes and stock levels. This dynamic data can alert users to changes (such as a sudden surge in Ukrainian wheat exports or a drought cutting Argentine soy supply) much faster than traditional reports. • News & Insights: The platform delivers relevant news flashes and in-house analysis. For instance, it might highlight policy changes, weather events, or logistical issues affecting markets, along with commentary from CM’s analysts. Users also receive reports like grain export summaries or freight market outlooks, helping them stay ahead in volatile markets. Strategic purpose: The creation of CM Navigator reflects the group’s goal to “empower traders of all sizes in all countries” by democratizing access to high-quality market data. It takes the tacit knowledge that Copenhagen Merchants accumulated (through decades of brokerage and logistics operations) and scales it via technology. Internally, the platform ensures CM’s own teams and key clients operate with the same up-to-date information. Externally, it has become a new revenue stream and value proposition, attracting subscribers from the wider industry. By providing transparency and decision-support, CM Navigator strengthens Copenhagen Merchants Group’s role as an information broker. Its strategic goal is to be the go-to platform for anyone looking for integrated data on grains and freight, thereby enhancing market efficiency and extending the group’s influence in the digital domain.

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.

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.

Our platform continuously adapts, ensuring VCs can move faster, act with confidence, and lead with clarity in an increasingly competitive investment landscape. At Cap, we combine engineering excellence, ambition, and entrepreneurial drive to reimagine how venture capital operates. We are still at the beginning of our story, but with early traction across the Europe and the US, we’re building a product and a team with global impact in mind.
