SGC - Arena

✅ 1: Short description (the pitch) SGC Arena is developing a combined TCG retail store, gaming lounge and community-driven event center to help youth, families and adult gamers find a safe, engaging and social space to play, compete and belong. We solve the lack of modern, inclusive gaming- and hobby environments by offering a 655 m² hybrid hub built around TCG, esport, community events and structured activities, powered by strong partnerships, low inventory risk and a highly scalable franchise-ready model. ✅ 2: The What – The problem we are solving Across Denmark, young people and adult hobby enthusiasts lack safe, structured and inspiring spaces to gather around gaming, TCG and shared interests. Most environments are either too small, too informal or lacking supervision, creating a gap between commercial gaming cafés and traditional youth facilities. At the same time, parents struggle to find positive, healthy gaming communities for their children, while hobby players (Pokémon, Magic, Lorcana) lack dedicated spaces for trading, events and tournaments. This problem affects: Children and teens seeking social belonging Adults looking for hobby communities Parents who want structured and safe gaming spaces TCG players who currently lack large-scale physical hubs Municipalities who need modern, engaging offers for youth Retail customers who want combined experiences, not just shops The demand is widespread and growing. TCG, gaming and event-based hobby retail are among the fastest-growing entertainment segments in Europe. Yet Denmark remains underserved with almost no large-scale hybrid centers combining retail, gaming, community and structured activities. SGC Arena fills this gap. ✅ 3: The How – How we solve it SGC Arena provides a 655 m² multi-zone environment combining: A full-service TCG retail store (Pokémon, Magic, Lorcana etc.) A high-end gaming lounge with esport setups A large event area for tournaments, competitions and community gatherings A social “hobby lounge” for trading, crafting and relaxed gaming A forening-driven model with daily structured activities Weekend programs with 500–1.000 visitors Consignationsaftaler reducing inventory risk dramatically A scalable operations manual and franchise blueprint for expansion to 3–8 locations Each weekday features structured activities through our association: Esport teams (20 participants daily) Hobby/TCG clubs (up to 40 per session) Weekends host large-scale TCG events, family activities, adult gaming evenings and trading meetups — creating predictable, high-volume traffic. The concept is built to scale: simple operational procedures, strong supplier partnerships, low-risk inventory, and a community-first structure that can be replicated nationally. ✅ 4: The Why – Our motivation SGC Arena is founded by Heinrich Dam Jensen, former owner of the esports organization Dream Gaming in Rødovre Centrum, where he built a strong and healthy gaming community in 2020. When COVID forced that project to close, it sparked a deep understanding of what young people and hobby-focused adults truly need: a safe, structured, social and modern environment that supports healthy gaming behavior and real-world connections. The vision has grown stronger since. Heinrich has a background in police, defence, leadership and youth work, and has seen firsthand how powerful gaming and structured hobbies can be when given the right environment. This is the foundation of SGC Arena: creating Denmark’s leading chain of gaming- and TCG-based community hubs. The motivation is simple: to give youth, families and adult hobbyists a place to belong — and to build a scalable, commercially strong concept that brings community and business together.

Birdie Studio

At Birdie Studio, we’re building Birdie – a platform that finally fixes the biggest reason most AI tools fail in B2B marketing: bad input. AI can write fast, but if it doesn’t know your brand, your market, your goals, or your customers — it just makes things up. That’s a huge risk for marketing teams trying to move fast and stay on-message. Birdie changes that. We structure all of a company’s GTM knowledge — from strategy decks and sales insights to product positioning and audience research — and use it to power AI tools that create content that’s on-strategy, on-brand, and actually useful. We’re not building generic chatbots. We’re building the execution engine modern B2B teams need to go from idea to campaign — with AI that doesn’t guess, but understands.

Milva

Milva er en innovativ dansk techvirksomhed, der udvikler avancerede softwareløsninger til ressource-, miljø-, og materialekortlægning i byggebranchen. Vores mål er at hjælpe både private aktører og offentlige myndigheder med at effektivisere deres processer gennem præcis registrering, prøvetagning og afrapportering. Vores løsninger gør det nemt for kunderne at overholde lovgivning og bidrage til et bedre arbejdsmiljø. I Milva er vi ved at revolutionere måden, man dokumenterer materialer og eksisterende ejendomme på. Med vores software, Milva, har vi vendt hele processen på hovedet og omdanner en eksisterende bygning til en minedrift frem for den bunke affald, som det oftest opfattes i dag. I processen nedsætter vi tidsforbruget, standardiserer data og automatiserer afrapporteringen for lovpligtige processer. Den korte version er, at vi med vores digitale værktøj i hånden under en fysisk inspektion af huset kan finde ud af, præcist hvad det indeholder af materialer, miljørisiko og muligheder. En Milva-rapport bliver beriget med en masse ekstra data og udregninger, på baggrund af de informationer, som der er indsamlet på matriklen. Informationer som enten er lovpligtige, nødvendige eller snart bliver det. Det er mega smart, hvis vi selv skal sige det, at automatisere tidskrævende skrivebordsopgaver og standardisere dataformatet. Alle aktørerne i byggebranchen, de offentlige instanser og endda civilsamfundet har interesse i den data vi dagligt indsamler og behandler. Denne information kan vi bruge til at optimere logistiklinier, projektøkonomier, arbejdsmiljø, forsyningssikkerhed, affaldsstatistikker og meget, meget mere på sigt. Vi har fundet en lille niche som ingen andre udvikler digitalt, men som alle har interesse i. Nogle vil endda kalde det fundamentalt for udviklingen af fremtidens digitale byggeindustri. Men hvis vi skal være helt ærlige, så er det de økonomiske besparelser og effektiv compliance vores kunder oplever i dag, der er den primære årsag til væksten på vores SaaS. Det med cirkularitet og bæredygtighed har større potentiale i fremtiden. Et enormt potentiale!

Andsend

Andsend is developing an AI-powered relationship management platform to help consultants, small business owners, and sales professionals build authentic business connections that convert to results, with intelligent conversation guidance. WHAT PROBLEM ARE WE SOLVING? We're addressing the gap between traditional CRMs and communication tools. Professionals who depend on relationship-building know strong connections are crucial, yet follow-ups slip through cracks, outreach becomes reactive, and they struggle to prioritize effectively. This affects three key groups: * Independent consultants and small agency owners whose client work leaves little time for nurturing their business pipeline * Relationship-focused sales professionals whose CRMs track deals but don't guide strategic communication * Senior consultants with business development responsibilities who need to balance client value with relationship cultivation Current alternatives (sales automation, email tools, contact managers, and complex CRMs) fail to provide intelligent assistance for purposeful relationship-building. HOW ARE WE SOLVING IT? Andsend offers a relationship intelligence platform built on a powerful premise: a tool that understands your goals and guides interactions toward achieving them. Our solution provides: * AI-Powered Contact Prioritization: Identifying who needs attention now based on goals and opportunities * Strategy-Driven "Playbooks": Strategic plans that guide conversations toward specific relationship objectives * Authentic Message Assistance: Communication help that sounds like you, tailored to relationship context * Smart Follow-Up System: Ensuring critical follow-ups maintain momentum with optimal timing Technically, we integrate with LinkedIn and email via Chrome extension and APIs, creating a unified conversation view that eliminates platform-switching. WHAT MOTIVATED US? Our founders experienced this problem as consultants, agency owners, and sales leaders. We saw how fragmented tools cost professionals up to 40% of their relationship management capacity through platform-switching alone. We believe business is built on relationships - not just transactions. Andsend transforms how professionals manage their most valuable asset with AI that enhances human connection rather than replacing it.
