GEIST

1. The Elevator Pitch GEIST is developing next-generation sailing apparel for recreational and lifestyle sailors who want protection and freedom on the water—without the bulk, stiffness, or elitist aesthetics of traditional sailing gear. By combining high-performance materials, real-world testing, and community-driven design, GEIST delivers technical sailing wear that enhances the experience instead of getting in the way. 2. The What: What are you solving? Sailing apparel today is largely designed for professional racers or extreme offshore conditions—resulting in garments that are heavy, rigid, over-engineered, and visually disconnected from how most people actually sail. This creates a gap for: - Recreational sailors - Lifestyle / adventure sailors - Coastal and day sailors who want reliable protection from wind, spray, and weather, but also comfort, mobility, and a modern aesthetic they enjoy wearing. As a result, many sailors compromise—either wearing gear that limits movement and comfort, or using outdoor apparel not built for marine conditions. This problem affects a broad and growing segment of sailors globally, especially as sailing increasingly overlaps with outdoor lifestyle, travel, and community-driven experiences. 3. How GEIST is solving it GEIST designs sailing apparel from the experience outward. We start by deeply understanding how our users move, layer, vent heat, and interact with their gear during real sailing scenarios—not idealized ones. From there, we: - Develop function-led designs focused on mobility, breathability, and smart protection - Use premium 3-layer performance fabrics and components chosen for durability, comfort, and sustainability - Prototype early and test continuously with sailors in real conditions - Co-create features, fit, and details with our community rather than designing in isolation Our first products—a sailing jacket and trousers—are built to be worn actively on the water and comfortably before and after, bridging performance and lifestyle without compromise. 4. Why GEIST exists GEIST started from lived frustration. As a sailor and outdoor enthusiast, I repeatedly experienced how traditional sailing gear interrupted the very thing it was supposed to support—the feeling of being present, capable, and free on the water. Gear was either too stiff, too bulky, too aggressive, or simply not designed for how most people sail today. I realized this wasn’t a niche problem—it was systemic. And it wasn’t being solved because the industry hadn’t truly shifted its perspective. GEIST exists to reimagine sailing apparel from the standpoint of experience, movement, and modern sailing culture. It’s about stripping away unnecessary complexity and designing gear that supports focus, confidence, and enjoyment—so when the wind hits, the world narrows, and the gear disappears.

Zefram

Zefram turns data into action. It isn't just another AI tool - it's a sales assistant that actually learns, adapts, and takes real responsibility off salespeople's shoulders. The problem we solve is simple but painful: finding new customers still takes a ridiculous amount of time and manual work. Traditional company databases give you raw leads, spreadsheets, and bloated filters — but then leave you alone to do the hardest parts: research, personalization, outreach, follow-ups, and staying consistent day after day. At the core of Zefram is a massive company database enriched with both structured data (public company records, financial statements, decision-maker info) and AI-optimized data points like business descriptions and up-to-date financial narratives. We analyze, normalize, and connect this information so it’s not just searchable — it’s usable. Some of the insights we provide, including line-level financial data, are nearly impossible to find elsewhere in ready-to-use form. But we go far beyond traditional data platforms. Zefram doesn’t just show you companies — it works for you like a real assistant. Once you define your ideal customer profile and messaging goals, Zefram independently: - Finds relevant prospect companies - Identifies the right decision-makers - Locates verified contact details - Analyzes each company’s background to answer your key sales questions - Writes highly targeted, personalized outreach emails based on real business arguments - Sends messages and manages follow-ups - Tracks responses and escalates human tasks (like calls) when needed Instead of chasing vanity metrics or blasting high-volume campaigns, Zefram focuses on quality and relevance. Engaging in roughly ~10 carefully selected new companies per workday — enough to drive results without turning outreach into spam. We believe modern sales should be precise, respectful, and effective. Looking ahead, Zefram will extend its assistant capabilities even further — answering unknown incoming calls on the user’s behalf, identifying callers, and handling early-stage qualification automatically. We’re here to build the future of B2B sales operations: not louder, not busier — just smarter. For doers who care about outcomes more than buzzwords. It’s company data. Made for people who get things done.

Willit Oy

Willit is a digital marketplace for Nordic wild and natural foods for example wild fish, game, foraged berries and mushrooms, and artisanal farm products. The problem: Finland has a €950M market for these products, yet 90% of wild berries go unpicked and 55% of harvesters cannot find buyers. Informal channels like Facebook groups lack payments, logistics, and trust. This is not a supply problem. It is a marketplace failure. Our solution: Willit provides the missing infrastructure. We handle payments, coordinate logistics, and build trust through verified sellers and transparent product information. We unlock latent supply and connect consumers with products that would otherwise never reach the market. Why now: Growing demand for traceable, sustainable food combined with regulatory complexity creates the right conditions for a purpose-built marketplace. We navigate compliance while preserving Nordic food culture.

Vinduespudserskolen

På Vinduespudserskolen bygger vi et SAAS, der optimerer hverdagen for selvstændige vinduespudsere, som vil frem i trafikken, hvilket vores elever heldigvis vil. Kort om vores historie: Vinduespudserskolen startede i 2021 som et AMU-kursus og blev i midten af 2022 til en privat uddannelse, da flere elever efterspurgte undervisning i abonnementsdrift og virksomhedsdrift. Siden da har vi hjulpet mange elever med at skabe deres egne succesfulde abonnementsforretninger, og vi støtter dem dagligt med alt fra drift til forretningsudvikling – og nu også software. Selve undervisningen foregår på Frederikssundsvej 345, mens vores backoffice er placeret på Vestergade 16 i København. Vinduespudserskolen (uden SaaS-overbygning) rummer arbejdsplads til 4 medarbejdere. Selve SAAS-produktet er en overbygning på skolen og finansieres af skolen. Vi er et mindre, agilt team, startet på 1 fuldtidsudvikler, og nu byder vi velkommen til 4 remote-udviklere og dig, som sidder med teamet på Vestergade i KBH. I dag har vi givet adgang til 50 af de forretninger, vi selv har hjulpet med at bygge, som er i opstartsfasen, altså accounts med under 200 kunder. På vores venteliste har vi mange større firmaer, som vi selv har bygget fra bunden med eleverne. Vores elever er selvfølgelig det vigtigste for skolen, og vi skylder dem at implementere nye features hurtigere, end vi gør nu.

PharosBio

PharosBio is building an autonomous AI scientist—a platform and APIs that help biopharma and research teams reduce R&D risk by turning fragmented evidence into decisions across discovery and translation. The problem Despite billions spent on R&D, the research ecosystem runs on incomplete, siloed insight. Around 90% of drug candidates still fail in the clinic, wasting time and capital and delaying therapies for patients. This affects 4.5 million scientists across pharma, biotech, and academia who must constantly decide what to study, why it matters, and whether to proceed—with evidence that’s scattered and stale. Our solution We’re building the first agentic AI built for life sciences: a system that plans, reads, reasons, and writes like a tireless collaborator, and plugs into existing workflows via APIs. What it does • Target discovery & repurposing: surfaces novel targets and repositioning opportunities from literature and data; ranks by mechanism and evidence strength. • Translational go/no-go: aggregates preclinical and clinical signals to support milestone decisions with transparent rationales. • Scientific writing copilot: drafts systematic reviews, grant sections, IND-supporting summaries, and patent landscape briefs with citations. How it fits • Platform + APIs integrate with existing tools and pipelines. • Evidence-first UX: every recommendation is linked to sources; uncertainty is quantified. • Autonomy with control: agents run end-to-end tasks, while scientists supervise, edit, and approve. Outcomes • Faster time to insight, • Fewer dead-ends, • Higher confidence at each stage from early discovery to translation. Our motivation We’re expats who fell in love with Denmark’s research culture and collaborative ecosystem. We started PharosBio because agentic AI is powerful but under-applied where it matters most—healthcare, research, and biotech. Watching promising ideas stall for lack of clear evidence lit the spark: we want to equip every scientist with an always-on partner, so more therapies reach patients - us and our loved ones!

FairByggePris

FairByggePris is developing an AI-powered service that helps property owners and professionals analyze contractor offers to identify errors, hidden costs, and overpriced items with unmatched speed and accuracy. Construction projects are often delayed or become more expensive because contractor offers are complex, inconsistent, and difficult to compare. Many clients – from private homeowners to housing associations and municipalities – lack the technical expertise to assess whether a bid is fair and complete. This problem is widespread: every year billions are spent on construction in Denmark alone, and a significant share of these projects suffer from budget overruns or disputes due to unclear or incomplete offers. The lack of transparency creates mistrust and unnecessary financial risk. FairByggePris applies AI to automatically analyze contractor offers. The system parses PDF or digital bids, compares them against structured industry data (such as Molio standards), and highlights missing items, hidden costs, or inflated pricing. Instead of relying on manual review by expensive consultants, users can within minutes receive a clear, data-driven analysis showing whether the bid is fair and where they should ask critical questions before signing. Over time, the system becomes smarter by learning from thousands of analyzed offers. The idea came from repeated experiences with how opaque and inconsistent contractor offers can be. Many homeowners and organizations enter construction projects without knowing if they are overpaying or missing critical details, leading to stress and unexpected costs. We started FairByggePris to give clients confidence and clarity. By using AI and structured construction data, we can finally make it easy for everyone to check their bids and avoid expensive mistakes.
