Matezy is a co-living platform that solves three problems every person in shared housing faces — but that no single product currently addresses together. Finding a compatible roommate today means scrolling through Facebook groups, TikTok and Finn.no ads with no personality filtering and no verification. The result is conflict and instability. Once you move in, managing shared finances is equally broken. Rent splits and shared bills are tracked across WhatsApp messages and Excel sheets. Money disappears and people argue. On top of that, rental contracts and deposits are handled without proper tools. Matezy solves all three in one app. Users find compatible roommates through a personality-based matching system — think Tinder for co-living. Once matched, they manage shared expenses and communication through a built-in household dashboard. Rent payments, digital contracts, and deposit handling are managed directly in the app. There are approximately 600,000 people living in shared housing in Norway alone, and hundreds of millions worldwide. No product currently owns this space.

You invest significant resources every single day to bring visitors to your webshop. Unfortunately, the majority of them leave again without making a purchase because they cannot quickly find or get answers to exactly what they need. And that is a shame—especially when it can actually be solved relatively easily. At Userlink, we build your very own AI agent that is an expert in your specific products. This means your visitors can instantly get the answers they need, around the clock—even when your customer service is closed. But will my customers even want help from an AI agent? Yes. 73% of Danes do. In fact, most people prefer getting fast help from AI rather than waiting 3–5 minutes for a response from a human. Is using Userlink worth the investment? Of course, several parameters come into play here. However, our customers experience that, on average, 12% of those who chat with the bot also complete a purchase after they start using Userlink. To allow you to assess this yourself, you can try it completely free for 30 days. We set everything up for you, so the only thing you need to evaluate is whether it pays off or not. Are there other benefits to using Userlink? There are, of course, several advantages, but a significant one is that our customers experience, on average, 35% lower customer service costs because the AI agent handles many customer inquiries before they reach your support team.

✅ 1: Short description (the pitch) SGC Arena is developing a combined TCG retail store, gaming lounge and community-driven event center to help youth, families and adult gamers find a safe, engaging and social space to play, compete and belong. We solve the lack of modern, inclusive gaming- and hobby environments by offering a 655 m² hybrid hub built around TCG, esport, community events and structured activities, powered by strong partnerships, low inventory risk and a highly scalable franchise-ready model. ✅ 2: The What – The problem we are solving Across Denmark, young people and adult hobby enthusiasts lack safe, structured and inspiring spaces to gather around gaming, TCG and shared interests. Most environments are either too small, too informal or lacking supervision, creating a gap between commercial gaming cafés and traditional youth facilities. At the same time, parents struggle to find positive, healthy gaming communities for their children, while hobby players (Pokémon, Magic, Lorcana) lack dedicated spaces for trading, events and tournaments. This problem affects: Children and teens seeking social belonging Adults looking for hobby communities Parents who want structured and safe gaming spaces TCG players who currently lack large-scale physical hubs Municipalities who need modern, engaging offers for youth Retail customers who want combined experiences, not just shops The demand is widespread and growing. TCG, gaming and event-based hobby retail are among the fastest-growing entertainment segments in Europe. Yet Denmark remains underserved with almost no large-scale hybrid centers combining retail, gaming, community and structured activities. SGC Arena fills this gap. ✅ 3: The How – How we solve it SGC Arena provides a 655 m² multi-zone environment combining: A full-service TCG retail store (Pokémon, Magic, Lorcana etc.) A high-end gaming lounge with esport setups A large event area for tournaments, competitions and community gatherings A social “hobby lounge” for trading, crafting and relaxed gaming A forening-driven model with daily structured activities Weekend programs with 500–1.000 visitors Consignationsaftaler reducing inventory risk dramatically A scalable operations manual and franchise blueprint for expansion to 3–8 locations Each weekday features structured activities through our association: Esport teams (20 participants daily) Hobby/TCG clubs (up to 40 per session) Weekends host large-scale TCG events, family activities, adult gaming evenings and trading meetups — creating predictable, high-volume traffic. The concept is built to scale: simple operational procedures, strong supplier partnerships, low-risk inventory, and a community-first structure that can be replicated nationally. ✅ 4: The Why – Our motivation SGC Arena is founded by Heinrich Dam Jensen, former owner of the esports organization Dream Gaming in Rødovre Centrum, where he built a strong and healthy gaming community in 2020. When COVID forced that project to close, it sparked a deep understanding of what young people and hobby-focused adults truly need: a safe, structured, social and modern environment that supports healthy gaming behavior and real-world connections. The vision has grown stronger since. Heinrich has a background in police, defence, leadership and youth work, and has seen firsthand how powerful gaming and structured hobbies can be when given the right environment. This is the foundation of SGC Arena: creating Denmark’s leading chain of gaming- and TCG-based community hubs. The motivation is simple: to give youth, families and adult hobbyists a place to belong — and to build a scalable, commercially strong concept that brings community and business together.

UNYA Copenhagen is a volunteer-driven youth organization dedicated to empowering young people to engage with global challenges through the lens of the United Nations’ values and the Sustainable Development Goals. We create an inclusive platform where students and young professionals can learn, collaborate, and take action on issues like climate change, social inequality, peacebuilding, and innovation. We are addressing a clear and growing problem i.e. the disconnect between youth and global institutions. Many young people in Denmark care deeply about sustainability and justice but find it difficult to access meaningful opportunities to participate in international dialogue or contribute to real-world impact. This gap leaves motivated individuals without a channel to apply their energy, creativity, and ideas, while institutions miss out on fresh perspectives and engagement from the very generation that will inherit the future. UNYA Copenhagen bridges this divide by turning global ideals into local action. We organize interactive events, workshops, and panel discussions that make complex global topics accessible and relevant. Our activities are co-created by volunteers from diverse academic and cultural backgrounds who bring their own insights to the table. Through collaboration with universities, NGOs, and public institutions, we connect youth directly with experts and decision-makers, fostering a sense of shared responsibility and agency. What makes UNYA Copenhagen unique is our grassroots approach. We are not just an organization — we are a community that thrives on collective energy and creativity. Every project is designed by young people for young people, ensuring authenticity, inclusivity, and long-term motivation. Our strength lies in our diversity and the genuine commitment of our volunteers, who bring the UN’s global mission to life in a way that feels personal and actionable. The motivation behind UNYA Copenhagen is simple: we believe that youth engagement should not be limited to classrooms or conferences but should become a lived experience. We started this initiative because we wanted to make international dialogue tangible, local, and inspiring. Our team members share a passion for learning, community-building, and positive change — values that drive us to dedicate our time to building something meaningful together. Today, UNYA Copenhagen continues to grow as a platform where ideas turn into impact. We are seeking motivated individuals who want to gain experience in leadership, communication, and project management while contributing to a global cause. By joining The Hub’s Community Program, we hope to reach more passionate volunteers who want to be part of a dynamic network that connects Copenhagen’s youth with the world.
