BunkerTrust is an open rating platform on which buyers of marine fuel (called "bunkers") can rate the suppliers and the vessels supplying the receiving vessels. The bunker industry has always been very un-transparent which means that the suppliers and the supply vessels could cheat without being penalised. We are working hard to make this industry more transparent, to the benefit of the shipowners who are buying the bunkers, and to the benefit of the suppliers who are not cheating.   Hi, my name is Daniel. I was born and bred into shipping as my father started a shipping company more than 35 years ago. Now, my brother and I have taken over the shipping company and I am in charge of the daily operation. I have always been very interested in new technology and I am a keen advocate of disruption in shipping as this is a very traditional industry.  Most shipowners in this very traditional industry are struggling with their marine fuel deliveries, as it is very easy for the suppliers and delivery vessels to cheat without being penalised. Therefore I decided to start BunkerTrust, which basically increases the transparency in the industry by letting the shipowners rate the performance of the suppliers and delivery vessels (much like Trustpilot).  I am very passionate about this project and working hard with my team of developers to make it fly. Besides being a keen entrepreneur I am the father of two boys and married to my lovely wife, presently residing in Roskilde (about 20 mins by train from Copenhagen.)

Columbia Road is a digital growth consultancy challenging the old ways of running digital businesses. We exist to increase our clients’ revenue and help them get more customers in the digital era. Our team consists of business consultants who understand business-driven design, tech, strategy and growth. We believe in giving a lot of responsibility and freedom to our employees. There’s a common misunderstanding that happy and satisfied employees are automatically motivated employees. We don’t see things that way. Happy and satisfied employees are an important priority for us, but we think causal relationship is reversed: people are happy and satisfied when they have work that motivates them. For us, an employee’s happiness is the primary goal, not a tool for raising productivity or profitability. We want to empower our employees to become a better version of themselves and to have more of an impact on the world. We see happiness & satisfaction as end goals, not starting points. That being said we love to laugh a lot, play some tunes at the office and grab a few drinks after work. What kind of work is motivating in our context? People yearn for purpose in their work and want it to have meaning that creates value: purpose, for people and organisations, comes from making an impact on the world. Meaning & significance comes from providing value to someone else — in our case, clients. Clients (not us) define the value of our actions, always. Jobs at columbiaroad.com/careers

Proku is building an AI-native bid management platform to help Swedish B2B companies selling to the public sector win more tenders, by combining each company's own bid history with outcome data and human corrections into a system that improves with every bid written. Public procurement in Sweden represents roughly SEK 900 billion per year across approximately 18,000 published tenders. On the supplier side, the process is brutally inefficient. A mid-sized consulting or services company routinely spends 40 to 120 hours on a single bid: reading hundreds of pages of requirement documents, hunting down CVs and reference assignments, rewriting the same quality descriptions for the fifth time, and then reformatting everything to match a procurement officer's template. Win rates typically sit around 20 to 30 percent, which means most of that work gets written off. The problem hits hardest for companies competing on qualitative criteria, where evaluation is based on descriptions of methodology, competence, complexion of the tender and delivery rather than price alone. That is exactly where human writing determines the outcome, and exactly the part that is least systematized today. The knowledge lives in the heads of one or two people, rarely in a system. When they leave, it disappears. The consequence is that companies either walk away from business they could have won, or burn their margin on bid work that never converts. Proku is the workspace and data plattform where the bid is actually written, not another monitoring tool that stops at sending notifications. The platform ingests the tender documentation and breaks it down into a structured requirement matrix covering mandatory criteria, weighted criteria, and the evaluation model. It then generates drafts per requirement, grounded in the company's own previous bids, CV database, and reference assignments, with integrations to the systems where that material already lives: Cinode, CV Partner, SharePoint. Every draft is traceable to its source, which matters in a context where an inaccurate claim can disqualify the entire bid. What makes this hard to copy is not the model but the data. Because we own the writing surface, we capture three signals no monitoring service has access to: what was written, what the human changed before submission, and whether the bid won or lost. That combination means quality compounds with usage, both per customer and across the customer base. My co-founder Sadegh and I previously built and sold a digital agency. We spent an unreasonable amount of our own time on public sector bids, and kept having the same experience: we knew we were the right supplier, but lost because we did not have the energy to describe it as carefully as we had in the last bid. The work was repetitive, the knowledge already existed in the company, and we still started from a blank document every single time. When we started talking to other companies, we realized this was not our incompetence. It is a structural problem across the entire supplier side. The public sector has digitized its half of the process. Suppliers are still in Word. This is a market with enormous volume, clearly measurable outcomes, and almost no modern software. We believe whoever owns the writing surface toward the public sector in the Nordics builds something very large, and we intend to be the ones who do it.

How people interact in the flow of work determines performance. The way they share information, express emotions, challenge ideas, make decisions, and protect focus shapes every outcome. Most teams leave these interactions to default. Humanity Pacts® is the interaction layer of work—an AI-powered system that helps teams intentionally design the agreements that shape how they interact, so high performance becomes the team's default, not an accident. Through AI-powered workshops and ongoing team support, we help teams identify the human patterns that matter most and transform them into TeamPacts®—AI-generated, context-aware agreements that define how people will respond when those patterns emerge. Instead of reacting on autopilot, teams pre-agree how they will communicate, challenge ideas, make decisions, navigate conflict, and support one another before predictable human dynamics take over. Every TeamPact® is tailored to the team's unique context using behavioral science, social norms, team dynamics, and AI—making high-performance behaviors easier to activate in the moments that matter most. Not values posters. Not policies. Not another personality assessment. A practical operating system for human interaction. Our work helps teams systematically and sustainably: • Speak up with ideas, concerns, and insights before opportunities are missed. • Make decisions with clarity instead of assumptions or politeness. • Use healthy friction to strengthen thinking and improve outcomes. • Build trust through consistent day-to-day interactions. • Protect focus and attention as a shared responsibility. • Surface misalignment early and course-correct before it becomes costly. Whether through in-person workshops or AI-powered guidance, Humanity Pacts® helps teams move from default behaviors to intentional interactions—creating cultures where people step up, speak up, give space, and show up when it matters most.

Verbu er en danskudviklet AI-medarbejder der håndtere henvdelser på telefon og chat. Den tager imod opkald og henvendelser fra hjemmesiden, besvarer spørgsmål, afklarer kundens behov og sender informationen videre i en struktureret form. Samtidig kan den arbejde sammen med de systemer, virksomheden allerede bruger. I mange virksomheder er den første kundekontakt stadig afhængig af, at den rette medarbejder har tid til at tage telefonen eller svare i chatten. Det skaber afbrydelser i arbejdsdagen og betyder, at potentielle kunder kan gå tabt. Problemet findes både hos den mindre virksomhed, hvor ejeren står optaget hos en kunde, og i større kundeservice- og supportfunktioner, hvor mængden af henvendelser kan være svær at følge med til. Verbu hjælper med at sikre, at flere kunder får svar med det samme, også uden for normal åbningstid. Løsningen håndterer de spørgsmål og opgaver, den er sat op til, og sender henvendelsen videre til en medarbejder, når der er behov for menneskelig vurdering eller handling. Verbu kan håndtere mere end 32 sprog. Det gør løsningen relevant for virksomheder, der både betjener danske kunder og arbejder på tværs af lande og markeder. For større organisationer kobles Verbu sammen med eksisterende arbejdsgange gennem integrationer. Det betyder, at information fra en samtale eksempelvis kan sendes videre til CRM, booking, kundeservice eller andre interne systemer, uden at en medarbejder først skal skrive det hele ind manuelt. Løsningen er udviklet med fokus på GDPR og europæiske krav til databehandling. Formålet er ikke at fjerne mennesker fra kundekontakten. Verbu tager sig af de gentagne og tidskrævende henvendelser, så medarbejderne kan bruge deres tid på de opgaver, hvor deres erfaring og faglighed gør den største forskel. Verbu er allerede i brug hos danske virksomheder på tværs af brancher og lande. Mange virksomheder har digitaliseret økonomi, marketing, CRM og booking, men telefonen og chatten er stadig ofte manuelle og personafhængige. Det er den del af kunderejsen, Verbu er bygget til at forbedre.
