Healper a game-changing booking platform that matches people with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and addiction with the psychologist who fits their needs. Problem: The cumbersome booking of the wrong psychologist In Denmark, mental disorders account for 25% of the disease burden and cost society 55 billion DKK annually with more than 2,000 people receiving therapy from a psychologist every day. Further, too many individuals do not receive timely help as they cannot cope with the draining 5-hour process it takes to find and book a psychologist. At the same time, U.S. experience shows that only 20-40% of people find a psychologist they trust and have 'chemistry' with. This is tragic, as just one bad experience can cause a client to completely drop out of or postpone his/her therapy. The ineffective booking process and the risk of a poor patient-therapist match mean that many people continue to struggle with mental illness who could otherwise be treated. This has major consequences for individuals whose mental illness markedly impairs their quality of life, but also largely affect their family and friends. Furthermore, this is a major problem for society, which is negatively impacted by lost labor and growth and must shoulder the high costs associated with mental illness. Solution: A simple approach to booking the right psychologist Healper is a friendly guide and a booking platform that matches clients with psychologists. We have designed a comfortable, simple, and transparent user journey, that takes the client by the hand and helps him/her through therapy to mental health. Clients fill out a short questionnaire and are then matched with the best results from our database of more than 1,700 psychologists. Here, we find the psychologist who can statistically give the best treatment. Clients are presented with a prioritized list of three psychologists along with the reasons for the match. From this list, clients can choose which psychologist they like best, book a session, and pay. The platform continuously facilitates feedback from clients and their psychologists to improve the processing and precision of the matches.

CM Navigator A/S – part of Copenhagen Merchants Group - is the company behind the digital platform for market intelligence and decision support in the agri-commodity and freight sectors – CM Navigator. Founded by Copenhagen Merchants Group, CM Navigator was initially developed in-house (starting around 2018) to aggregate the wealth of tacit market knowledge held by the group’s brokers and shipping experts. It was subsequently launched as a commercial SaaS platform in 2022 and later incorporated as an independent company in 2023 (while remaining majority-owned by CM Group). What it offers: CM Navigator provides real-time data and analytics tools to track commodity markets and logistics: • Live Prices & Global Benchmarks: Users get daily updated prices from major export regions (North America, South America, Europe, Black Sea, Australia, etc.) and a global CFR price matrix covering 600+ destinations, allowing easy comparison of origin competitiveness. This helps traders see, for example, how US corn fob prices plus freight compare to Brazilian corn into a given import market. • Freight Forecasting: The platform includes advanced freight tools that let users search among 250,000+ bulk freight routes with up to 12-month forward curves. This essentially functions as an instant freight rate calculator: a trader can input a specific load port and discharge port (or even a combination for multi-leg trades) and get current freight cost estimates and future rates. Such capability, drawn from Navi Merchants’ data, simplifies evaluating the delivered cost of commodities. • Supply/Demand & Trade Flows: CM Navigator continuously updates global supply and demand balances for key crops, and tracks trade flows. It integrates official data with on-the-ground insights (e.g., port line-up information) to give an up-to-date picture of export/import volumes and stock levels. This dynamic data can alert users to changes (such as a sudden surge in Ukrainian wheat exports or a drought cutting Argentine soy supply) much faster than traditional reports. • News & Insights: The platform delivers relevant news flashes and in-house analysis. For instance, it might highlight policy changes, weather events, or logistical issues affecting markets, along with commentary from CM’s analysts. Users also receive reports like grain export summaries or freight market outlooks, helping them stay ahead in volatile markets. Strategic purpose: The creation of CM Navigator reflects the group’s goal to “empower traders of all sizes in all countries” by democratizing access to high-quality market data. It takes the tacit knowledge that Copenhagen Merchants accumulated (through decades of brokerage and logistics operations) and scales it via technology. Internally, the platform ensures CM’s own teams and key clients operate with the same up-to-date information. Externally, it has become a new revenue stream and value proposition, attracting subscribers from the wider industry. By providing transparency and decision-support, CM Navigator strengthens Copenhagen Merchants Group’s role as an information broker. Its strategic goal is to be the go-to platform for anyone looking for integrated data on grains and freight, thereby enhancing market efficiency and extending the group’s influence in the digital domain.

Droppe is building the most comfortable way to order workwear online. Across Europe, 95 million workers rely on workwear every day—but the way it’s bought is broken. It’s still ordered by someone else, often without context, chosen by price. The result? Something blue, something cheap, and workers who feel ignored. We’re changing that. Instead of fixing procurement from the top down, we’ve built the experience from the ground up—based on how workers actually want to order. Workwear is becoming lifestyle: people want to feel great in it, from 9 to 5 and beyond. With AI, we’re making workwear buying fast, personal, and finally built for the people who wear it. We’re a remote-first team with HQ in Helsinki and teammates across Europe. We care about the craft, move fast, and grow every day—in our product, our work, and ourselves.

Folke Furniture is a D2C furniture brand from Copenhagen. We design, produce, and sell modular sofas made for real life, for people who move, change plans, and live in homes with staircases, doorways, and shifting needs. Most sofas are built for a forever home. But many of us live in apartments, move often, and need furniture that can follow along, without drama. So we’re replacing bulky, one-shape-for-life sofas with a simple system: tool-free modules that ship in boxes, zip together in minutes, and rearrange whenever life does. Our modular sofa is built from four core modules, giving customers the freedom to: • start small now • switch between sofa, lounge, guest bed, or conversation corner in seconds • add more modules later, instead of replacing the whole thing Folke is a Danish name with a simple meaning. It comes from “folkelig,” meaning "for the people," and nods to folklore: the everyday stories we share and pass on. Because home isn’t just walls and furniture. It’s movie nights, long talks, kids on the cushions, and friends who stay a little longer. Folke began in 2024 out of personal need. When our founder, Christoffer, became a family of three, he didn’t want “a sofa.” He wanted a living space: a soft spot for board games, wrestling, scrolling, reading, real conversations, and overnight grandparents. In 2025, he left his CEO role to build Folke. If you value practical design, honest products, and building something that lasts, join us in shaping Folke.
