Is It Time to Pivot from Corporate to Co-Founder? Great startups don’t fail because of bad ideas - they stall because they can’t reach the market. From deep-tech to consumer products, many early-stage ventures have strong teams and promising solutions - but lack the commercial insight to grow. Commercial Co-Founder is a programme designed for professionals ready to pivot out of traditional commercial roles and into high-impact roles within early-stage startups.

It combines continuous internet-scale monitoring, machine learning–driven analysis, and automated enforcement to protect brands at the speed of the internet. ❗ The Problem Brands today face a rapidly growing wave of online impersonation and fraud: - Fake websites and phishing pages steal customer data and trust - Scam stores divert revenue and damage brand reputation - Threats appear at massive scale (thousands of new domains daily) - Traditional solutions are too slow, manual, and expensive Existing approaches—legal disputes, analyst teams, and takedown processes—can take days to months, while attackers operate in minutes. 💡 The Solution Astra solves this by delivering end-to-end automated brand protection: - Continuous monitoring: Tracks domains, subdomains, DNS signals, and web content in real time - AI-powered detection: Identifies likely threats and prioritizes them automatically - Human-in-the-loop control: Users approve actions with one click - Instant enforcement: Enforcements are executed immediately after approval This reduces response time from days or weeks to seconds, preventing damage before it spreads. 🎯 Why Astra Exists Astra was built on a simple insight: “Brand threats move at internet speed—protection must move faster.” The company exists to replace outdated, reactive workflows with a scalable, automated system that: - Protects customer trust before harm occurs - Prevents revenue loss from fraudulent actors - Eliminates manual workload and high operational costs - Gives brands full visibility and control over enforcement

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.

GLAZE Technologies turns raw data into “material intelligence.” Across energy, aerospace, and manufacturing, critical components can fail because decision-makers can’t see what’s happening inside their materials until it’s too late. Today they must choose between expensive lab testing or flying blind on the factory floor. We solve that gap with Carmen, our patented, real-time sensor platform that reveals a material’s composition, defects, and degradation at industrial speed and scale. Powered by breakthrough terahertz technology, Carmen spots micro-cracks in wind-turbine blades before they splinter, verifies satellite parts for the European Space Agency, and will soon help any production line certify quality without stopping the line. Why does it matter? Because better material insight means safer infrastructure, fewer recalls, less waste, and a faster transition to a sustainable, high-performance world. We’ve proven the tech in pilots with global consortia; now we’re scaling the business. and looking for bold minds to join the journey.

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.

ABchar is developing a new type of pyrolysis reactor, affordable heating and the possibility of small-scale biochar production, adapted to agriculture.. This will help achieve the goal of a 40% reduction in emissions from the agricultural sector. What is pyrolysis? Simply put, this is the heating of an organic material without access to oxygen. This leads to a series of reactions that ultimately result in 3 main products; biochar, oil and gas. We want to utilize the biochar in this process. The oil and gas will be burned and the heat from this will be used to dry grain, heat barns, greenhouses, residential buildings and other things that need heat on a farm. Why pyrolysis and biochar? Plants absorb CO2 from the air around us through photosynthesis. They are actually extremely good at this too. The residual product is mainly oxygen and the plant material. The great thing about pyrolysis is that we are able to separate water, oxygen and hydrogen from the plant material and we are left with more or less pure carbon 80% +. This is carbon from the air! If we take this coal and spread it on our agricultural land, it will be stored there for up to 1000 years and perhaps longer. In some cases, the soil will become more fertile and less vulnerable to periods of too much or too little water.
