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.

Our Mission We are on a mission: Every year, millions of tons of coffee fruit waste (cascara) are discarded during coffee production, creating significant environmental challenges. We salvage this nutrient-rich, naturally caffeinated super-ingredient to craft premium, organic, non-alcoholic sparkling drinks. By prioritizing a circular economy and working directly with the upcycling of waste products, we don’t just create a delicious alternative for the conscious consumer - we also help reduce environmental impact and create an additional revenue stream for coffee farmers. How We Work We import cascara directly from the farmers and partner with expert subcontractors for our organic brewing, production, and storage, allowing our core team to remain agile, creative, and completely focused on scaling our market presence. At the outset we focus on local hipster/organic cafés, restaurant and bars in the HORECA segment preparing for broader retail when the market is ready. Why Join Us? We are a small, ambitious, and passionate team of founders, innovators, and specialty coffee enthusiasts. As a startup, we value creative freedom, and believe in true ownership. Joining us you will be a foundational part of our journey, with the opportunity to shape our sales strategy, brand culture, and future growth. If you are driven by sustainability, love building authentic relationships, and want to help turn a circular business model into a household name, we’d love to have you on board.

Custena is an AI workspace for the investor-facing and fund-ops teams at private-markets fund managers.. Built for the investor-facing and fund-operations teams at private-markets fund managers: LP reporting, DDQs, ad-hoc LP and auditor requests, and reconciliation against the administrator. What the agent does: Ingest and normalize. Statements, notices and emails in any format, mapped into one current fund record. Grounded answering. DDQ and ad-hoc questions answered straight from that record, cited every time. Reconciliation. Catches when the administrator's numbers and your internal records do not match, down to the exact line. Every number is traced to source. You see where each figure came from and the exact math that produced it, so it can be checked before it reaches an LP. Built on what you already use, not instead of it. No migration, no re-homed files. Custena connects to the Excel, Outlook and data room you run today, reads fund data in place across administrator exports and systems like eFront and Investran, and layers the agent on top. It follows your SOPs, not ours. Custena picks up your firm's procedures from the documents you already have, then routes approvals, cites every source and honors side-letter terms the way your team already does.

maiaa is a curated marketplace for design-led meeting and event spaces, helping companies and teams find venues with character for meaningful, in-person gatherings. We combine carefully selected spaces with a thoughtful booking flow to replace generic, transactional venue sourcing with a more human, design-driven experience. The problem we’re solving: Finding inspiring spaces for meetings and small events is still fragmented and inefficient. Companies often rely on a mix of spreadsheets, emails, and generic listing platforms that prioritize volume over quality. The result is wasted time, inconsistent experiences, and venues that don’t reflect the purpose or culture of the gathering. This affects: • companies that value design, brand, and experience • venue owners with distinctive spaces who lack the right distribution and tools Despite a clear demand for better spaces, the market remains operationally outdated and aesthetically undifferentiated. How we solve it: maiaa brings structure, curation, and clarity to the process. We: • curate a limited selection of character-rich venues rather than listing everything • focus on storytelling, aesthetics, and context — not just capacity and price • provide a request-based booking flow that respects how venues actually operate • integrate experiences and add-ons to make gatherings more intentional and complete The platform is being built to balance design sensibility, operational realism, and scalable technology — with a strong focus on usability for both guests and hosts. Why we started: maiaa grew out of firsthand experience. As a founder, operator, and boutique hospitality owner, I’ve spent years working with spaces, guests, and teams — and repeatedly experienced how broken and uninspiring venue sourcing can be, especially for gatherings that actually matter. The motivation behind maiaa is simple: to create a better alternative for people who care about where they meet, how they gather, and the experience they create together. This is not about building another marketplace — it’s about raising the standard for how physical spaces are discovered and used.

Kirppu er danskejet og er Danmarks første og største loppesupermarkedskæde med 34 butikker fordelt over det meste af landet. Et besøg i Kirppu er en god mulighed for at erhverve sig dét, man står og mangler – både til fest og hverdag. Kædens stande byder på rigtig mange dagligdagsting - alt fra tøj, tallerkner, madkasser, legetøj osv. Hvert år skifter mere end 5 millioner genbrugsvarer hænder i Kirppus butikker, og virksomheden omsætter årligt for trecifret millionbeløb. Virksomheden blev grundlagt i 2014 af Morten Bøjland og Claus Andreassen, der åbnede den første butik i Hillerød. Siden da har Kirppu været med til at forme det danske genbrugsmarked og gjort det enkelt og overskueligt for privatpersoner at købe og sælge brugte varer i et professionelt butiksformat. Inspirationen til Kirppu kom oprindeligt fra Finland, hvor idéen om at samle stande i én stor butik blev født. Kirppu betyder ”loppe” på finsk. I dag er Kirppu en etableret detailkæde i Danmark, der kombinerer lokalt engagement med en voksende national tilstedeværelse og en ambition om at være danskernes foretrukne sted at handle genbrug.

Vi skabte NODA i 2020, fordi vi savnede en drik med ægte ingredienser, lavt kalorieindhold og uden sukker, kunstige sødestoffer eller tilsætningsstoffer. Alt, hvad vi fandt, indeholdt unødvendige ingredienser, selv “sunde” alternativer. Resultatet blev NODA – en genopfindelse af sodavanden. Med 30% presset økologisk frugt og danskvand tilbyder vi en naturlig, lækker og forfriskende drik, som kan nydes af alle. Vores mission: At skabe drikkevarer med fokus på økologi, sundhed og bæredygtighed, som folk kan nyde dagligt. NODA er til alle, der ønsker et forfriskende, naturligt og lækkert alternativ til traditionelle sodavand. Læs mere om vores tilgang her: https://nodacph.com/pages/omtanke

Optagonen AB is a Sweden-based creative education company helping schools strengthen students’ confidence, creativity and communication skills through modern workshops in music, storytelling and AI-driven learning. Traditional school environments often struggle to engage students with formats that feel relevant today. Many young people lack confidence in expressing themselves, and teachers have limited time and tools to support creative development. We solve this by delivering a complete, high-impact workshop model where students create real cultural works together with established Swedish producers, writers and artists. Students write lyrics, record vocals, create stories, draw cover art and publish their work on major streaming platforms. The process builds self-esteem, teamwork and digital literacy through hands-on creation. Under the hood, several autonomous AI systems — built in-house — support logistics, content generation, data processing and post-production. This allows us to scale operations efficiently and deliver consistent quality across hundreds of workshops. With more than 390 workshops delivered in 150+ municipalities across Sweden, Optagonen has proven that creativity is a powerful catalyst for learning. Our mission is to expand this impact further and make creative education accessible, modern and inspiring for every school.

Short - about Hvile Living Hvile Living creates soft, comfortable seat cushions in natural and recycled materials, designed to support both seat and back—helping people enjoy their classic chairs fully again with timeless style. ⸻ The What: Classic chairs are often hard and uncomfortable for long periods, leaving them buried under pillows or relegated to decoration. Most cushions only target the seat, but true comfort requires support for both the back and the seat. ⸻ The How: We design cushions that support both seat and back, tailored perfectly to classic chairs. Using natural and recycled materials, our cushions make sitting a pleasure while preserving the chairs’ style and sustainability. ⸻ The Why: It wasn’t the chairs’ fault—I love my classic chairs, but I found them hard to sit on comfortably. I discovered that cushions supporting both seat and back made a huge difference. Hvile Living exists so others can enjoy these beautiful chairs comfortably and sustainably.
