There are too many lonely elderly people and it is too difficult to learn Danish as a foreigner.We solve these two problems by arranging for foreigners, learning Danish, to visit elderly Danes. The foreigner comes to the home of the Dane once a week, They learn Danish by having a normal conversation with the elderly.Municipalities pay us for bettering their activation of the elderly and their integration of foreigners. Currently I, Andreas, is the only one working at Elderlearn. I am however sitting in offices with other start-ups with whom I always have lunch with. I find lunch to be a crucial part of the day and always take at least half an hour free to eat and talk with the others in the office.I love playing board games, eating good food and meeting new people. If you join the team you will be a big part of shaping the office culture, and I will look very much forward to finding my first colleague.Since I am moving to another start-up office soon, the below images show some of the foreigners and elderly I have introduced to each other. They do still give a good impression of why, how, and what we do here at Elderlearn.

Our Mission Modern organizations are constrained not by a lack of intelligence, but by the way intelligence is applied. Decisions that should be systematic, auditable, and repeatable are instead handled through informal processes, institutional memory, and ad-hoc judgment. This creates inconsistency, opacity, and risk at scale. Our mission is to bureaucratize AI, not to add friction, but to add structure. We believe the next phase of artificial intelligence is not about replacing human judgment, but about formalizing it. By embedding AI into well-defined procedures, rules, and workflows, we aim to make complex decision-making reliable, transparent, and governable across organizations. Decision Support We build AI decision support systems that operate as institutional infrastructure rather than isolated tools. These systems do not issue commands; they surface options, trade-offs, and consequences in a way that aligns with organizational policy and accountability. By combining machine learning with explicit process design, our platforms augment human operators while preserving oversight and intent. Decisions become faster without becoming arbitrary, and scalable without becoming opaque. In doing so, we enable organizations to apply intelligence consistently at the speed and scale their operations require.
