Sikr is the first company specializing in Cyber Security (CS) for Small and Midsized Enterprises (SMEs). We have a product, we have a few paying customers, and we are EU-funded though the Danish National Coordination Center for Cyber Security. Which is documented at https://ncc-dk.dk/ under supported projects pool 2, and their post on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/posts/ncc-dk-danmark-cybersecurity-coordination-centre_ncc-dk-netv%C3%A6rksm%C3%B8de-05022025-save-the-activity-7282724478550241280-YCw3 "Sikr" is in Danish pronounced "sikker" which means "safe", and we own the domain sikr.it & sikr-it.dk. We have developed a platform that helps SMEs to get basic CS, in a way that is as easy for the company to implement our products, while it is very non-intrusive and hands-off for us, and while it is as cheap as possible. The problem SMEs have with CS: Complexity and Cost: Many existing IT security solutions are designed for large corporations, making them overly complex and financially out of reach for SMEs.​ Lack of Resources: SMEs often lack dedicated IT departments, leaving them vulnerable to cyber threats without adequate protection or support.​ This issue leaves smaller businesses exposed to cyber risks, with limited options for effective and manageable security solutions, that in theory could have been avoided very easily. Why does this matter? Cybersecurity is not just a concern for large corporations; SMEs are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals, which most often puts them out of business. By providing a user-friendly, and affordable security solutions, Sikr empowers smaller businesses to protect their digital assets, maintain customer trust, and ensure business continuity.

Virkley helps real estate developers and agencies sell properties before they are built by transforming 2D floorplans into interactive, life-like virtual showrooms. The Problem Selling homes that don’t yet exist is challenging. Buyers struggle to visualize and plan their future space from static floorplans, leading to indecision, lengthy sales cycles, and lost revenue. Real estate companies often rely on expensive, time-consuming 3D agencies to create visualizations—making it impractical to showcase every unit interactively. Even after purchase, buyers risk making poor furnishing decisions, wasting time and money on furniture that doesn’t fit. Our Solution Virkley transforms the static 2D floorplans into hyper-realistic virtual property tours, allowing buyers to step inside a space before it’s built. They can walk through rooms, switch between furnished and unfurnished views, adjust interiors, and take measurements. This helps property developers and real estate agencies showcase homes more effectively while making the buying experience more engaging and informed.

Cap is an AI-native operating system for modern venture capital. Founded in 2023 in Copenhagen, we’re building a connected workspace where investors get the full picture in real time, without juggling multiple tools. Our journey started with a simple but powerful observation: today’s investors don’t lack data, they lack structured insight. Instead of switching between Affinity, Todoist, Notion and endless spreadsheets, Cap gives venture capital firms a single, structured platform that organizes, understands, and prioritizes information. This AI-native foundation is what sets us apart. Where others layer AI on top of existing clutter, Cap was designed from day one to structure complexity into clarity. 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.

Mattehelten ble startet med én klar visjon – å gjøre matematikk enklere og hjelpe elever som sliter med faget. Vi vet hvor frustrerende det er for foreldre å se barnet sitt streve med matte uten å vite hvordan man kan hjelpe. Matematikk er et av de fagene flest elever sliter med i skolen, og konsekvensene kan være store både for selvtilliten deres og fremtidige utdanningsmuligheter. Statistikk fra 2016/2017 viser at 22 % av tiendeklassingene fikk karakteren 2 eller lavere i matematikk, og i 2024 strøk over 20 % av privatistene i 2P, R1 og R2-matte. Disse tallene viser at mange elever ikke får den oppfølgingen de trenger for å mestre faget. I tillegg ser vi at stadig færre velger realfag på videregående, fordi de opplever matte som for vanskelig. Dette bidrar til mangel på ingeniører, IT-spesialister og andre viktige yrker, som igjen påvirker samfunnet og fremtidens arbeidsmarked. Mattehelten ble startet for å snu denne trenden. Vi hjelper elever med å tette kunnskapshull, bygge mestring og oppnå bedre resultater, slik at matte ikke blir en hindring, men en mulighet. Gjennom 1-til-1 digital undervisning tilbyr vi skreddersydd mattehjelp der elevene får tett oppfølging hver uke. Vi bruker Google Meet og tegnebrett for å forklare både skriftlige utregninger og digitale verktøy som GeoGebra, regneark og programmering. Mattehelten ble grunnlagt i 2020 av Stephan Hung Nguyen under pandemien. Han så hvor mange elever som slet med matematikk og ønsket å gjøre en forskjell. Med sin ekspertise innen undervisning og matematikk startet han et gratis tilbud for ungdommer – både for å støtte dem gjennom pandemien og for å øke interessen for faget. I løpet av tre år underviste Stephan opptil 20 timer i uken helt gratis, ved siden av studiene. Etter hvert økte etterspørselen, og flere forespurte fast digital undervisning. For å kunne hjelpe flere begynte vi å ta betalt, slik at Stephan kunne undervise på fulltid. Fokuset var – og er fortsatt – å tilby undervisning preget av empati, trygghet og mestring. Ryktet spredte seg, og stadig flere ønsket mattehjelp fra Mattehelten. I 2023 hadde vi 4 undervisere, i 2024 vokste vi til 11, og i 2025 har vi 20 dyktige undervisere – alle med samme mål: å hjelpe elever med å mestre matte og føle seg trygge i faget.

Behold helps animals change people. Our technology turns everyday wildlife encounters into moments of discovery. It meets people where they are, whether at home, on their devices, or in their communities. It shifts how they see nature and their role in it. It is entertainment with a purpose, designed to inspire and influence behaviour in subtle but meaningful ways. But we are not just here to tell stories. We are building a network of thousands of garden cameras, creating the largest database of residential wildlife sightings. A powerful tool for conservation, citizen science, and understanding the changing natural world. Our first product, Behold Cam-1, became a massive success on Kickstarter – hitting its funding goal in under 2 hours, and raising almost $400k in pre-orders. We're now bringing that product to market. It’s an opportunity to join at the earliest stages—with all the challenges and rewards that come with it.

We are on a mission to help our clients be successful with presentations. As former consultants, we know that many professionals spend 20+ hours per week in PowerPoint, Word, Excel, and Outlook. We want to reduce this, while making the remaining hours more productive and thus unlock more time for problem-solving (or sleep). We are not saving the world – but hopefully, we can give you more time to do so.
