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.

NPCares

NP CARES. Functional Medicine Meets Emotional Safety The first Functional Medicine platform turning nervous-system calm, lab data, and real food into one integrated healing system. (Behind every feature lies a deeper mission to help people feel safe in their bodies again.) Most people don’t fail their healing. They just get lost between appointments confused, overwhelmed, and alone. NP CARES was built for that space in between. It’s a digital ecosystem that connects Functional Medicine, emotional regulation, and Mediterranean living through one clear mission: to make healing human again. The app helps users track daily energy, focus, and calm turning nervous-system awareness into a lifestyle. Inside the free community, people can share progress, learn simple rituals, and rebuild self-trust one day at a time. When they’re ready to go deeper, they can access premium programs including the 10-Day Reset, Detox Program, DNA Nutrition Plan, and 12-Week Transformation — all integrating functional lab testing (GI-MAP, DUTCH, DNA Life, Metabolomix) with real food, mindset tools, and step-by-step nervous-system repair. The platform is built on Passion.io, integrated with Zapier and ManyChat, and already live with 124 downloads and two UK doctors interested in collaboration. NP CARES has early traction and a growing audience of health-conscious individuals and professionals who are seeking a calm, data-driven alternative to the chaos of conventional wellness. We’re now looking for helping hands people who want to grow something meaningful from the ground up. Developers who can refine the UX and backend automations. Marketing and operations minds who understand storytelling, community, and health tech. At this stage, we’re looking for individuals who want to contribute for experience and passion and grow with the project as revenue builds. The goal is to form a small, mission-driven team that believes in long-term impact, not quick exits. The bigger vision is bold: To become the leading integrative health platform in Europe, bridging science and soul through partnerships with clinics, retreats, and hotels and to later expand globally into longevity, performance, and emotional health. NP CARES isn’t another wellness app. It’s a movement toward connection, calm, and clarity using the best of Functional Medicine and neuroscience to help people feel safe in their bodies again. Because the future of health isn’t more information. It’s integration.

CryptoSuvereign Norge AS

1. CryptoSuvereign Norge AS is developing a regulated digital investment platform that makes it easier for people and small businesses to access the crypto market safely. We simplify exposure to digital assets through one transparent, Norwegian-based solution that combines technology, trust, and compliance. Our approach is based on proprietary mechanisms for value stability and portfolio management, details are confidential and shared only under NDA. 2. The crypto market is growing fast, but most people find it too complex, risky, and unregulated to invest in. Today, over 90 % of private investors who enter the crypto market either lose money or never diversify beyond one or two coins. Small businesses and startups also struggle to gain secure, compliant exposure to the sector. We are addressing this gap by building a bridge between traditional finance and the blockchain economy, giving users a safe, regulated entry point into digital assets. 3. The technical framework and operating model behind our solution are proprietary and can only be shared under a signed confidentiality agreement (NDA). The idea started with frustration seeing how ordinary people wanted to invest in crypto, but were pushed away by technical barriers, high volatility, and lack of trust. Our motivation is to create something that gives everyone a fair, transparent, and professional way to invest in this new economy without needing to be an expert or take unnecessary risk. We believe Norway and Europe need their own secure framework for digital asset management, and we want to be the ones who build it first. Because the concept combines regulated finance with blockchain innovation, we require all external collaborators to sign an NDA before receiving detailed project information.

Tapp

Tapp is developing a software-only POS suite—tap-on-phone payments, eshop self-order, Native AI data platforms, and AI-assisted menu/setup - to help small UK service businesses ditch expensive hardware POS, solve slow service and rising operating costs, and stay compliant by default, powered by our ultra-fast UX, AI onboarding, leading AI features, and embedded payments. Independent cafés, massage parlors, and any other service spots are squeezed by hardware terminals, clunky back-office flows, and staffing shortages—which translates to slower turnover, longer queues, and lost revenue. Operators also face VAT/receipt/tips complexity and card-data obligations that traditional POS doesn’t simplify. The market is crowded, but legacy and “one-size-fits-all” tools still mean slow UI, multi-minute setup, and rigid pricing. Our analysis of UK-relevant providers shows many still require dedicated hardware or fragmented QR solutions—creating cost, training, and integration friction for small teams. Whilst providing insights on all the data collected, without the user having to ask. Tapp replaces boxes and paper with a phone-first POS: - Tap-to-Pay on iPhone & Android: take contactless cards/Wallets directly on staff or owner smartphones—no reader required. Fully productised in our “Staff” flow. - QR self-order, eshop & pay: guests scan, order, tip, and receive receipts digitally; staff stay focused on giving the best service, not card machines. - AI onboarding & menu import: snap a menu or upload a file; Tapp auto-parses categories/items, generates a store description, and lets owners tweak with guardrails (VAT, pricing, tags, duration). - Built-in compliance for UK SMBs: support for e-receipts, VAT invoice scenarios, and transparent tip/service handling—plus card-data best-practice via our payments stack. - Embedded payments on Adyen: unified acquiring, wallet rails, refunds/chargebacks, payouts, and potential embedded finance/share—with clear IC++ economics and SoftPOS fees. - Elite performance: our internal tests show UX runs 2.7× faster LCP and 3.3× less blocking than a leading competitor—keeping staff in “flow” during rush. Why this wins: zero hardware CAPEX, minutes-not-weeks deployment, faster service cycles, and fewer receipt/VAT/tips headaches—all in a single app the team already knows how to use (their phone). Feature depth is production-ready across signup/KYC, menu, staff, orders, payout views, and refunds per our shipped user stories. Whilst (soon) providing industry-breaking intelligence to make the small merchants play in the big leagues. We started Tapp after watching small venues spend too much on terminals and too long wrestling slow software—only to still miss orders at peak. We dug into the UK compliance tangle (VAT, receipts, tips) and saw a chance to bake the rules into the workflow, not bolt them on. Then we validated the experience with hard performance data and a best-in-class payments partner so owners can serve more customers with less kit and less stress. That’s why we’re doing this: give time back to small operators with a POS that is fast, compliant, and delightfully simple.
