Swapped is developing a frictionless payment platform to help new and experienced cryptocurrency users seamlessly purchase and sell digital assets with fiat currency. Users can pay using their local currencies and payment methods with industry low fees, allowing anyone to enter the crypto world as easily as they'd swipe their credit card (or other local payment method). The complexities of buying and selling cryptocurrencies can be a barrier for many people. Lack of trusted payment options, and confusing on/off-ramp procedures deter even tech-savvy users. This affects a huge segment of potential crypto adopters—from everyday consumers exploring digital assets for the first time to seasoned traders looking for a simpler way to move funds. Swapped tackles this widespread challenge by offering a one-stop, user-friendly payment solution for users, cutting down the complexity and risk associated with typical crypto transactions. We support a wide range of national currencies and digital assets, breaking down geographic barriers. Our state-of-the-art fraud prevention and regulatory compliance ensure each transaction is safe and meets global standards. By eliminating unnecessary steps and providing clear guidance at every stage, Swapped dramatically lowers the entry barrier to the crypto ecosystem. We saw firsthand how a confusing, fragmented purchasing process was preventing widespread adoption of digital assets. Despite the disruptive potential of crypto and Web3, too many newcomers were discouraged by technical jargon, multiple steps, and security fears. Our team believed that a streamlined, familiar payment experience—akin to everyday online shopping—could unlock the power of crypto for millions. Fueled by the vision of a borderless, accessible financial future, we quit our day jobs to build Swapped. We’re driven to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the decentralized web, ensuring anyone, anywhere, can confidently participate in the next generation of digital currency. We're a small and LEAN startup, looking to onboarding millions of new users into the crypto ecosystem.

BuddyUp Social

BuddyUp Social is a social discovery platform helping adults in Denmark—especially expats and newcomers—find meaningful connections through shared interests and real-life events. We’re solving the problem of adult social isolation by making it easy to create, join, and engage in hobby-based meetups, all through one intuitive app. Making friends as an adult can be surprisingly difficult. Whether you're a Dane moving to a new city or an expat starting fresh in Denmark, it’s common to feel socially disconnected. Many adults don’t know where to start when it comes to meeting new people outside of work, dating apps, or closed social circles. This problem is widespread and well-documented—especially in Denmark, where surveys consistently show that many internationals struggle with social integration, and even locals describe it as awkward to make new friends past a certain age. We’re tackling this head-on by making socializing more accessible, interest-based, and low-pressure. BuddyUp Social is designed to break down the barriers of adult friendship and create opportunities for spontaneous, real-world connection. Whether it’s joining a hike, hosting a board game night, attending a ceramics class, or finding a casual pub quiz crew, BuddyUp is all about connecting people who are "up for it"—with no pressure, no awkward messaging phase, and no algorithms getting in the way. Unlike traditional social platforms focused on digital interaction, BuddyUp is built around real-life meetups. Users can explore and join events happening near them, or create their own. Events can be public or invite-only, recurring or one-off, and are always centered around shared hobbies or interests. The app also welcomes collaborations with local businesses, allowing them to showcase open community events, bringing even more variety and accessibility to users. We’re launching in Denmark first—starting with Copenhagen and Aarhus—before expanding to similar cities across Europe. The idea behind BuddyUp was born from personal experience. As someone who returned to Denmark after years abroad, and with friends struggling to meet people after relocating, it became clear how socially challenging adulthood can be. We kept hearing the same story: “I’d love to meet new people, but I just don’t know how or where.” Instead of settling for outdated forums, clunky Facebook groups, or apps not designed for platonic connection, we decided to build a better solution ourselves. BuddyUp is more than an app—it’s a movement to make adult friendship and community-building normal, easy, and enjoyable again. We’re passionate about creating a product that helps people feel less alone and more empowered to take the first step toward new friendships. We believe that real-life connections are essential for personal happiness and social wellbeing—and we’re here to make those moments happen.
