✅ 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.

FEESH...the feed for your fish Aquaculture is the fastest-growing food sector and is vital for meeting the protein needs of a growing global population. Yet, its growth is constrained by reliance on two unsustainable protein sources: fishmeal and soy protein concentrate (SPC). Fishmeal is produced from wild-caught fish, putting pressure on already fragile marine ecosystems, while soy production drives large-scale deforestation and carries a heavy carbon footprint. Both are also subject to volatile global markets, making aquafeed production environmentally damaging, expensive, and vulnerable. Insects, particularly Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL), are an attractive and more sustainable alternative. They can be produced locally, upcycle organic waste streams into valuable protein, and have a low environmental footprint. However, despite this potential, insect meal remains a niche ingredient in aquafeeds. The main barrier is chitin, a fiber-like polymer in the insect exoskeleton that reduces digestibility and locks away valuable proteins. This limits inclusion rates of BSFL meal in aquafeeds to just 2–8%, far below the levels needed to meaningfully replace fishmeal and soy. At FEESH, we are solving this problem by applying a precision microbial fermentation platform, enhanced with ultrasonication pre-treatment, to upgrade BSFL meal into a high-performance protein ingredient. Our process disrupts the chitin-protein matrix, making proteins more bioavailable, reducing indigestible fiber, and enriching the lipid fraction with beneficial fatty acids such as EPA and DHA. Additionally, fermentation produces bioactive peptides and immunostimulatory compounds that improve gut health and disease resilience in fish. The result is a fermented insect meal with digestibility levels reaching 90–95%, enabling high inclusion rates of >20% in aquafeeds without compromising fish growth, palatability, or welfare. By combining biological and physical processing, FEESH unlocks the true nutritional potential of insects, transforming them from a niche supplement into a viable replacement for fishmeal and soy protein concentrate. This matters because the aquafeed industry needs scalable, circular, and climate-friendly solutions. Our innovation reduces dependence on environmentally destructive feed sources, cuts CO₂ emissions, and strengthens food system resilience. For insect producers, it creates new market opportunities with higher-value products. For aquafeed formulators and fish farmers, it delivers a sustainable, locally produced protein that supports both performance and animal health. And for society, it contributes to global food security and a more sustainable bioeconomy. FEESH is pioneering the next generation of aquafeed ingredients, designed not just to sustain aquaculture, but to make it thrive responsibly.

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.

GitHub made it easy for the world to build software together. SomebodyMakeIt does the same for physical products. SomebodyMakeIt is where brands, IP owners, and product creators can turn ideas into real products without building supply chains from scratch through a shared infrastructure for sourcing, collaboration, production, and scaling. Physical product creation is still absurdly broken. If you want to launch something real, you usually need to find the right people, manage scattered files and feedback, coordinate suppliers, handle production risk, and commit money before you know if demand exists. That kills speed, margins, and momentum. It also locks out a huge number of creators and companies that could launch great products if the system were easier. This is a massive market gap hiding in plain sight. We are building the platform where physical products get built. A place where ideas, briefs, collaborators, makers, manufacturers, production knowledge, and execution can live in one system. Instead of every company rebuilding the process from zero, they can plug into shared infrastructure for developing, testing, and scaling products. The more projects that run through the platform, the stronger the network becomes. More data, better matching, faster execution, more repeat production, and more value captured across the lifecycle. We started this because we think it is crazy that software has world class infrastructure for building together, while physical products are still stuck in email, spreadsheets, fragmented sourcing, and expensive guesswork. That should not be true anymore. We are building SomebodyMakeIt because the company that becomes the default place where physical products get built can become incredibly important.

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.
