Our portfolio company, Bikekey have never been afraid to listen, learn and change 🚲

Now, you should listen and learn from René Nørgård, who gives his best advice to new founders, beginning on the journey that they themselves began in 2021.

Is this something you can recognise?

Our undercover investor, "Lucy", has been hired as a design consultant for Tinyfarms. But, there might be some issue understanding the product 🫣

Do you like the original idea, or perhaps some of Lucy's suggestions? 😂

How do you attract awesome people to your , even if you can't afford their wages?

Stine Kalmer Jørgensen from -DK believe a little out of the box thinking can be the way to secure those critical skills from an early stage 🧠

Any other ideas that new founders could benefit from?

30/07/2024

Are Bikekey really doing as well as they are telling us? 😉

We took an internship with the to get a better understanding of how they were doing, and were really put to hard work by Anders Holm Nielsen 🥵

You can't control the timing, but you can control your process.

Kin and its founders had an uphill battle at the beginning of their journey. Yngvi Karlson has an advice to future founders, based on the most difficult time in the company's journey.

Have you gone through something similar, and what was your experience?

Thank you to Yngvi for sharing, so we can all improve together 👏

How do you help people gain financial independence?

That's what we're trying to learn, by going undercover at our portfolio company Dreamplan-DK 🕵️‍♀️

Dreamplan helps people with their financial planning and gives advice to obtain their financial goals. But how do they get to be so good at it? Perhaps CEO, Stine Kalmer Jørgensen can help us figure it out.

What is your number one advice for new founders? 🤔

We've asked many of the founders of our portfolio companies what they learned from their biggest challenges, and we're bringing that to you as a new series this summer.

What does founders with an ongoing journey say about the early process of ? First up is Pauli Minnaar from IDUN audio, about the everyday practicalities of running a company 👏

We're going undercover! 🕵️‍♀️

We have been visited some of our portfolio companies, to gain some better insight to how they are doing. They usually say everything is fantastic, but can we believe that? 😳

The first company we're uncovering is myKin.ai with co-founder Kasper Juul welcoming "Becca", the new employee, to the company. Kin have allegedly created a personalised AI, that you can speak to and share your innermost thoughts with. Someone who will always be on your side and who knows who you are.

Sounds brilliant, right?

Congratulations to our portfolio company, Exo360 👏

The team has been working tirelessly and expanding progressively, since Mads Terndrup got the idea to replace traditional plaster casts with their adaptive meta-materials. They are now getting close to their goal, and expect to perform clinical tests later this year, with the hope of getting their CE mark by the end of the year.
The Innobooster grant of DKK2,1M will assist them in the last stages and allow them to reach the finishline.

Traditional plaster casts, while reliable, have a significant drawback: A freshly broken limb swells up, and this is when the plaster cast is applied. But, as part of the healing process, the swelling also goes down again. When that happens and the static cast doesn’t follow the limb, it is no longer stabile inside the cast. This instability can lead to re-injury and surgery in 1 out of 3 wrist fracture cases.

The Exo360 Wrist addresses this issue by holding the limb securely in the correct position while applying even pressure, while swelling decreases.

We are so excited to see how they are progressing!

LexSee are democratising reading for people with dyslexia 👏 and we have invested in them!

When we read a word, or a collection of words, our brain visually analyses the text and relates this visual input to how they would sound. And it is not until after this that meanings and associations are formed from those sounds, and it is that process that is extremely challenging to dyslexic people. It has nothing to do with intelligence!

The consequences of their challenge reaches far beyond their reading capabilities, and actually impacts their earning potential.

Lexsee are now making help much more accessible, by providing an app that makes web pages easier to read, and gives a way to multi-input reading environment.

"Dyslexia affects 1 in 5 people around the world, so it's an enormous number of people who need assistance, but often don't receive adequate help, if any" - Mads Løntoft, venture partner at Accelerace.

Huge credit to the founders Keith Saft and Benjamin Keyser for their endeavour - hopefully this will give people the help they need!

We have invested in the future of VC data analytics

By harnessing the power of astrology, AstroVenture Analytics predicts the likelyhood that a startup will succeed, and therefore gives an incredible tool for VCs.

“Working in the pre-seed space, we are dealing with very high risk. Being able to significantly lower that risk by looking at the science of stars, is a no-brainer for us” - David Today, fund manager at Accelerace.

According to the stars and the AstroVenture Analytics model, they are in with a 100% chance of success. They will immediately come in as a portfolio company and a tool. It will use the investment to expand the number of star constellations within the data scope.

🗣 “The Danish ecosystem has come a long way, but still has a lot of untapped potential”

That’s what we work to fulfill every day, and why we are very proud to take part in this year’s The Guide from Heyfunding and TechSavvy Media

Our sentiment has always been, that we stand on the shoulders of those who came before us, so we don’t have to learn everything from scratch, and we are trying to pass on those learnings every day - whether it being to the companies we invest in, or for free on our online platform Tools.

But we won’t take away all your enjoyment of reading about us in The Guide, so instead, you really ought to jump over to page 59 https://lnkd.in/ekX_9KAs and then afterwards read the entire thing. It truly deserves to be read.

🇧🇬 Last week we travelled to Sofia, Bulgaria, as partners on BEYOND | Cross-border investment to assist some great reach their goals.

We learned that in Bulgaria you say "zele" (cabbage) when you take a picture 📸 but we also confirmed that there are incredible startups around Europe who can benefit from help in the pre-seed stage.

We had the immense pleasure of working with Pocket IP Travatar.ai Cars Central by Avtoikonom LTD SUBmerge Baltic Salesforge 🔥 Agenta Vodar by Mindset Design PERMITS to Fly AIDE and Razzle through the two days!

Through our proprietary courses, and deep dives with co-mentors Michał Olszewski Jesus Tapia Angel H. Angelov, CF Peder Nedergaard Krasimir Kehayov Yavor Gochev, we learned a lot, and hopefully helped a lot.

We're super excited to have partnered with FundingBox ISDI Accelerator and Innovation Capital who put on a fantastic Demo-day to round off the camp.

We have invested in a game changing for plant based alternatives to meat 🔥

Martin Decara, Jakob Einfeldt and Charlotte Vinther Schmidt, the team behind Umamamia, have developed their clean label product, Umamifix, using fermentation technology to enhance the natural umami flavour in pulses.

We believe that Umamamia have identified one of the main reasons the switch to plant based meat alternatives haven’t been as prevalent as we would all like.

Read more about the technology, the investment and what the future holds for Umamamia ⬇️
