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.

Reimagining how we create value in a changing world. Meaningful Entrepreneurship is an educational project by Startup Guide, which has supported 15k+ entrepreneurs and mapped 70+ ecosystems globally. This initiative began with a research report based on insights from 400 aspiring entrepreneurs across Denmark, revealing that traditional entrepreneurship education no longer resonates with the new generation of founders. Our purpose is to support founders in building ventures aligned with their values through tools and learning experiences socially and environmentally meaningful.

At Innovation Roundtable, our focus is on helping large multinational companies navigate one of their biggest challenges: innovating in complex, fast-changing environments. While most corporates understand the need to innovate, a lack of cross-functional collaboration, and difficulty translating new ideas into real business impact. We bring senior executives together across industries and geographies to share experiences, learn from each other, and explore practical approaches to innovation, digital transformation, and organizational change. By creating a trusted, peer-to-peer network through our Summits, workshops, and online community, we solve the problem of isolation and limited perspective that innovation leaders often face in their own companies. Our mission is simple: to make innovation in large firms less of a struggle and more of a shared journey, supported by learning, collaboration, and real-world insights.

Horaizon is an AI consulting and product company helping organisations turn the hype around artificial intelligence into measurable business outcomes. The problem we see every day is twofold: • Uncertainty — businesses know AI will change how they operate but don’t know where to start. • Inefficiency — companies waste time and money experimenting with generic tools that don’t address their specific needs. At Horaizon, we bridge that gap by working alongside organisations as if they were our own. We design and implement AI systems that are cost-effective, secure, and directly aligned with their workflows, from reducing customer support costs by 10x to automating time-consuming financial processes. Whether a client comes to us with excitement or hesitation about AI, our role is the same: to provide clarity, trust, and results, helping them adapt and scale in a future where AI is not optional but essential.

We’re building the operating system for modern golf clubs. GolfMore helps clubs run smarter, sell more, and deliver an excellent experience for members and guests - from the driving range to the simulator room and everything in between. Our story GolfMore grew out of Probox24, a self-service vending solution tightly integrated with national tee-sheet booking systems. What started as a single product is now a suite of connected software and hardware that powers daily operations at golf clubs. Today, GolfMore serves clubs across 18 countries, from small local clubs to large, prestigious venues. What we build A unified platform that combines payments, access, automation, and admin: • Driving Range — State-of-the-art self-service payment and ball dispensing • Self-Service Kiosk — Intuitive on-site purchasing and check-in tied to booking systems • Voucher Management — Issue, store, and redeem with full auditability • Simulator Management — Automated access control • Club Admin (Web) — Operational dashboards, content, and product setup, reporting • GolfMore App (Mobile) — A 360,000-user wallet for paying green fees, range, and more Everything is designed to be reliable, revenue-generating, and easy to run - so staff can focus on the golfer, not the system. Traction & momentum • ARR ~10m DKK and growing ~25% YoY • Operating in 18 countries with strong product-market fit • Recently welcomed a private equity fund as a shareholder to accelerate product and international expansion Why now Golf is digitizing - fast. Clubs expect seamless payments, automation, and data visibility, while golfers want frictionless on-course and off-course experiences. With new capital and a multi-year roadmap, we’re scaling the platform, deepening integrations, and launching new modules that unlock real operational leverage for clubs. How we work We’re builders. We value momentum, craftsmanship, and reliability. Engineers own problems end-to-end, ship iteratively, and collaborate closely with product, design, and operations. We favor pragmatic architecture, strong testing practices, and CI/CD to keep quality high and releases smooth. Culture & values • Ownership: Small teams, big responsibility • Customer impact: Decisions anchored in real-world club operations • Quality: Stable systems, thoughtful UX, measurable outcomes • Kindness & clarity: Direct communication, low ego, high trust Life at GolfMore (Ry, Denmark) Our HQ is in Ry, Denmark.

Perks & setup • Delicious lunch program • Modern office facilities (bright spaces, focus rooms, meeting rooms, great gear) • In-house coffee bar with excellent espresso • New tech gear, supportive teammates, and plenty of room to grow The opportunity With fresh funding, strong traction, and a packed roadmap, this is a chance to shape the global platform that powers golf operations - own domains, lead initiatives, and see your work live at clubs across markets.

Rune Raahauge Online Coaching is a tailored training and lifestyle universe that helps busy adults achieve lasting results without sacrificing life’s pleasures. We combine evidence-based training, habit change, and close personal support so our clients can enjoy a healthier life – physically, mentally, and socially. Many adults with careers, families, and active social lives struggle to prioritize their health. They jump from one quick-fix solution to another – diets, 30-day challenges, random workout programs – without achieving results that last. The problem is widespread: thousands experience stress, low energy, poor fitness, and weight gain, yet lack the structure, motivation, and solutions that fit their reality. We help break that cycle and create a sustainable lifestyle. We offer a 100% personalized online program where clients get: • A tailored training plan that fits their time, level, and goals. • A simple nutrition structure that works with their preferences and social life. • Ongoing support through chat, video, and check-ins, so they’re never left on their own. • A focus on habit change and mental strength, ensuring results that last a lifetime. Our method makes training and nutrition a tool to live better – not a punishment. Our secret sauce is the combination of human connection, simple systems, and a realistic approach that makes health achievable for ordinary people living extraordinarily busy lives. We started because, after more than 30 years in the industry as personal trainers, we’ve seen far too many people stall – not because they lack willpower, but because they lack the right plan and the right support. After working face-to-face with hundreds of clients, we saw a clear pattern: people don’t need yet another program; they need someone who understands their daily life and can help them navigate it. We wanted to create a solution that removes the confusion, makes health manageable, and gives people control over both body and mind – without forcing them to give up everything that makes life enjoyable.

I’m building Nuviou — an AI-powered career assistant that helps people figure out what they truly want to do and gives them a clear, personalized plan to get hired. It's like having a personal strategist at a fraction of the cost for a career coach , from self-discovery to job offer. I’ve built this solo so far — MVP’s in alpha, backed by Innovasjon Norge, won a pitch competition, and there’s solid early traction. But it’s time to stop building alone. Most people care deeply about their careers. The real problem? Career reflection is slow, exhausting, and restarts every time. I’m building Nuviou so that you only have to do it once — and then you own it, forever.

Eversay is a new social platform designed to help hosts and event planners spark meaningful connections among guests before, during, and after life's big moments -from weddings and birthdays to company parties and retreats. We're solving a common challenge: guests often don't know each other beforehand, and the connections made at events tend to fade quickly afterward. At the same time, photos and memories get scattered across private chats, cloud folders, and phones, and the host has to beg for them to get uploaded. Many of them are lost. Eversay brings it all together in one place: the guest list, playful introductions, a quirky (AI)event assistant, a shared media pool, and interactive tools that build excitement and a sense of belonging. We're reimagining the guest experience, focusing on human connection, shared joy, and effortless memory-making. Unlike most event or social platforms, we're building Eversay on Europe-first values: strong data privacy, ethical use of AI, and a deep respect for digital. Guests should feel as safe online as they do at the party. Our vision is to become the preferred, privacy-conscious alternative — rooted in European design principles and community spirit. We started in Denmark with endless global ambitions and roots in Copenhagen and Barcelona. Our goal is to become the go-to platform for social event engagement, where people don't just attend events; they feel part of something meaningful.
