Killer Kebab is a modern fast-casual food brand deeply in love with kebab. We make ours personal and unique in a world that expects more and more from the food it eats. The problem we are solving is simple but deeply rooted: kebab has become synonymous with low transparency, inconsistent quality, and shortcuts hidden behind speed and convenience. Consumers want fast food that feels honest, crafted, and worth trusting, but the category has largely failed to evolve. Killer Kebab exists to change that. From day one, we set out to prove that kebab can be both fast and uncompromising. We build our kebab from scratch, marinating our meat in-house every morning, making all sauces and falafel ourselves, baking sourdough flatbreads fresh to order, and frying every falafel only when it’s needed. We deliberately serve fewer options, focusing instead on quality, repeatability, and operational excellence. Our approach turns quality from something subjective into something systematic. By owning every critical step of production, we create a product that is consistent across locations while remaining deeply human and handcrafted. This operational model allows us to scale without losing what makes the brand special. Beyond the product, Killer Kebab is built as a brand-first company. With a strong visual identity, a bold tone of voice, and a loyal community, we are creating more than meals. We’re building emotional connection, cultural relevance, and everyday rituals around food that feels good to eat and good to believe in. Today, with multiple locations and a growing fan base, Killer Kebab is positioned to scale as a modern food brand that balances craftsmanship, efficiency, and personality. Our ambition is to set a new standard for fast-casual dining and prove that “fast” never has to mean careless. In short, we’re not just serving kebab. We’re rebuilding trust in fast food, one killer bite at a time.

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.

Kihleo is a medtech startup developing an early warning system for urinary tract infections in older people with incontinence receiving care at home or in nursing homes. UTIs are one of the most common reasons for acute deterioration, confusion, and hospitalisation in this group. They are challenging to detect early, because symptoms are often vague, many older people cannot clearly communicate discomfort, and home care staff and nurses have minimal time. Today, detection is primarily reactive. Staff notice that something is wrong, then order urine tests and start treatment when the infection is already well underway. This leads to unnecessary suffering, avoidable admissions, and a high use of antibiotics. Kihleo’s solution is a small sensor placed in the diaper that measures biomarkers in the urine every time the person voids. When the diaper is changed, the sensor is read, and data is sent to a secure backend. Algorithms and predictive models analyse patterns over time and provide early, trustworthy indications that an infection may be developing, days before clinical symptoms are usually recognised. The system is not a diagnostic tool. It is a decision-support and early-warning system that integrates into existing workflows and helps staff decide when to look more closely, consult a nurse or doctor, and perform standard diagnostic tests. The value is threefold. For older people, it means faster and more targeted treatment, fewer severe infections, less confusion, and a better day-to-day quality of life. For relatives and care staff, it provides reassurance, objective data, and more time for actual care rather than crisis management. For the public sector, it helps prevent avoidable hospitalisations and complications that are both expensive and resource-intensive. Kihleo is working with a hardware partner on sensor development and is already in dialogue with Danish municipalities about pilot projects. The long-term vision is to create a scalable, data-driven platform for early detection of infections and other complications in elderly care, using everyday materials like diapers as non-invasive data sources.
