Valerian Funds' vision is to be the world's preferred source of growth capital for online businesses accessible at the click of a button. Simple, Fast and Non-Dilutive From startup founders to startup founders, we have been there – we know how hard it is to raise capital. Your business needs to tick a particular box with a VC or have a minimum track record for a bank manager. Ultimately, a successful fund raise is less a testament to the quality of your business and more a consequence of being at the right place at the right time – not a very comforting thought. The founding team at Valerian set out to create a product that would eliminate the serendipitous element of fund raising and instead root the investment decision in hard data – eliminating the self-selecting criteria of who you know and instead focusing solely on performance. The team at Valerian brings in a wealth of unique specific expertise that aims to provide you with the best available, most flexible and ultimately cheapest cost of capital available for your growth.

Aeris is a Copenhagen based bottled cocktail brand, handcrafted to the highest of standards. The concept is simple: everybody should be able to enjoy a high quality, perfectly balanced cocktail, regardless of their skillset or financial status. More often than not, a really well balanced cocktail, made with high quality ingredients, is only really accessible in high end restaurants, hotels and bars. For those with the financial means to enjoy cocktails in these places, Aeris cocktails is simply a really nice supplement when one wants to have an equally good tasting drink at home (the importance of this rose during the pandemic and lockdown). For those with less deep pockets, Aeris is simply put some bottled luxury for a decent price. Our recipes are an echo from Barcelona where our founders started their journey, and every cocktail is handcrafted and bottled to the highest of standards. The essence of Aeris is all about wanting to step out of the box, do something that feels fresh and exciting, a new concept embracing that amazing Copenhagen vibe. Our brand oozes of luxury, and yet, is very affordable, for anybody who wants some atmosphere at any place, at any time. Sustainability and quality is key for us and so we have a zero plastic policy and refill options to ensure our bottles get reused. The founders are currently trying to find the time to keep up with the growth and demand, and are in need of a cool team of people to help in the journey of taking Aeris out into the rest of the world.

SimplyPrint is cloud software for managing and monitoring 3D printers. 3D printing has grown quickly over the past decade, but the software infrastructure around it is still fragmented and often difficult to manage, especially when multiple printers are involved. Schools, makerspaces, companies, and print farms often run several printers at the same time, but lack a simple way to monitor them, manage print queues, track usage, or help users interact with the machines remotely. SimplyPrint was created to solve exactly that problem. Our platform connects directly to 3D printers and provides a centralized interface where users can monitor prints, manage printer fleets, organize users, and control printing activity. For organizations running many printers, this dramatically simplifies daily operations. Today SimplyPrint is used by more than 75,000 users worldwide, ranging from hobbyists with a single printer to universities, schools, businesses, and professional print farms running dozens of machines. The company started about 6 years ago, directly after the founder finished high school. The first years were spent experimenting, pivoting, and rebuilding the platform several times. The current version of the platform (SimplyPrint 2.0) has been in active development for the past few years and has seen strong adoption and growth. One of the unusual things about SimplyPrint is that most of the growth so far has been organic. The product has spread through the 3D printing community largely through word of mouth, SEO, and user recommendations. The company is 100% bootstrapped and runs as a small, lean team based in Denmark. Today the team consists of three full-time members and several part-time contributors, with the core team also holding equity in the company. Despite the small team size, the platform now generates roughly 200,000 DKK in monthly recurring revenue and has grown significantly over the past year. The majority of customers are located in the United States, followed by Europe, as the global 3D printing market continues to expand. As the technology becomes more widely adopted in education, manufacturing, and product development, the need for reliable management software is increasing rapidly. SimplyPrint aims to become the standard platform for managing 3D printer fleets, helping organizations run their printers more efficiently while making the technology easier to access and use. We believe the market for 3D printing software is still early, and that a focused, product-driven team can build a significant global company from Denmark.

The founders of dibz.se struggled with the housing shortage in Sweden. Therefore, they took up the fight to make digital waitlists accessible to the people, starting with Swedish housing waitlists. The vision is to do the same for all markets with an imbalance between supply and demand, worldwide, independent of waitlists. dibz launched the platform dibz.se in July 2021. The platform currently covers all housing waitlists in Sweden, from Kiruna to Ystad. Enabling our customers to maximise their opportunities for a firsthand rental contract by utilising cloud computing, robotic process automation (RPA), UX/UI, and an agile approach. The journey has just begun, and we are now looking to expand the product into more areas that need digital infrastructure improvements. We will erase the information privileges that exists, helping people around the globe to make future proof decision. For example, it isn’t fair that a child’s possibility to play guitar is based on the child’s parents’ knowledge of a hidden waitlist that the child needs be in from the date of birth. We are driving change. There are better ways to distribute services and goods more efficient and fairer. dibz.se will be the go-to platform for goods and services with matching market characteristics where price simply can’t clear the market. dibz will serve both B2B and B2C, making the future brighter step by step.
