Boardway is an AI-first search and matching platform helping founders, investors, and companies find the right board and advisory talent to accelerate growth. We solve the network-driven and biased process of board recruitment, matching candidates based on skills, experience, and strategic fit — not who they know. Today, most boards are formed through closed networks, limiting diversity and competence. Boardway offers a verified talent pool and a data-driven matching engine that helps companies build stronger, more balanced boards. Through our Smart Dashboard, users can manage searches, assess skills gaps, and track board performance in one place. Born from firsthand experience with the inefficiency of traditional recruitment, Boardway exists because we believe better boards build better companies — and that smart algorithms and transparency are essential to shaping the future of modern governance.

Sisters In Startup (SIS) is a platform built to close the gender gap in entrepreneurship. Our mission is to empower women by bridging the gap between their entrepreneurial ambitions and the opportunities needed to succeed. Too often, female founders face structural barriers: lack of access to funding, networks, and mentorship. At SIS, we’re creating a digital ecosystem that changes that. Through curated resources, funding guides, community support, and actionable tools, we make it easier for women to turn ideas into sustainable businesses. SIS combines education, community, and funding readiness in one place, offering practical templates, founder stories, and growth programs tailored to each stage of the entrepreneurial journey. We believe entrepreneurship should be accessible to everyone, not just those who already have connections or capital. That’s why we’re building SIS: a space where women founders can learn, connect, and grow together. Our platform will officially launch in 2026 and is currently in development. We’re looking for a passionate co-founder who shares our vision and wants to help shape the future of female entrepreneurship in Europe (and beyond).

At ReBite, we’re developing a protein bar that makes it easier to choose something truly healthy. Many people are looking for snacks that are simple, natural, and actually good for them. But most protein bars on the market today are highly processed and don’t live up to that. Most current protein bars: - Have long and confusing ingredient lists - Contain artificial sweeteners, additives, and protein isolates - Are high in protein, but offer very little fibre or real food ingredients - Don’t leave people feeling like they’ve eaten something healthy ReBite is different. Our bar is: - Made with whole, natural ingredients - 45% made from upcycled side-streams from the food industry in Copenhagen - Free from sweeteners, preservatives, and other additives - Made without protein isolates—only protein from original raw ingredients - High in fibre (10g) and with only 8g sugar from natural sources ReBite is a cleaner, more honest alternative for people who want a snack that’s better for both their body and the planet.
