Elderlearn

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.

We have a monthly budget for team building, which can be used for anything from Friday lunches at a restaurant to GoKarts and Lazer Tag to buying a new BBQ grill or Playstation 4 to play. But it’s not the STUFF that’s important, it’s the PEOPLE. Every day, we talk about the importance of building great culture. We invest in our people, in a BIG way!Professional development and growth is hugely important to us and we place a premium on face-to-face time and team building activities. We serve as groomsmen in each other’s weddings, we enjoy hanging out together on the weekends, and we plan each other’s bachelor parties. As cliche’ as it may sound, we really are best friends… and at the end of the day, that commitment that we have to each other pours out in our passion for building great products.We have a very horizontal leadership structure and do things not because we have to but because we want to. This company is 100% employee owned and we all care about the growth and success because we are invested in it… I’m not talking financially, I’m talking emotionally.

We empower our team to work from where they want and on a flexible time schedule. All one needs is a laptop and a good internet connection.8. We are geared upAs true digital craftsmen, we want nothing but the best tools to do our work.

Tobi

Our purpose is to enable children to get the best possible start in life. This purpose can take on many shapes and sizes. The first of which is helping parents invest their children's longterm savings. In a sense you could call us a niche robo-advisor for families though we would argue that we have so much more lined up to support our purpose. Why start here? Because today no one is focusing on helping families - parents, grandparents and friends of the family - get started saving and investing on behalf of their children. In this sense, children is the most underserved market within wealth management. This has direct consequences for children's financial future as families today have scattered savings accounts where the majority of deposits are in cash. With a very low interest rate the children's savings are losing value year after year after year due to inflation. Put another way: children are missing out on far more than 10x returns. At Tobi we help parents open an investment account for their children. Then the whole family can deposit cash gifts (think at birth, X-mas, birthdays, etc.) and advance inheritance in the child's Tobi account. All deposits are invested based on the parent's risk profile and we advise families all the way over the years towards reaching the savings goals for their children. This is why we compare Tobi to pension - just for kids. Because we believe children's money should be treated just as well as grown ups'.
