Reform

Reform creates custom-designed furniture of good quality and reasonable prices. Offering both entire kitchen solutions as well as parts and products fitting the designs from Ikea, the fundamental desire of Reform is to improve the look and feel of kitchens and to rethink the entire, slightly old-fashioned kitchen business.   By creating a new kitchen concept and providing an online shopping platform the business is made to be scalable. One modus operandi is where Ikea gives advice on the fundamental kitchen composition and Reform then offers the specific products. When you decide you want a customized Reform kitchen or Reform cabinet doors, you send your desired design to Reform - and in less than a month it will be delivered. The philosophy of Reform is to create a fun and exciting atmosphere for every employee. We want motivated people who want their job to be a big part of their life; you spend so much of your lifetime working, so we do what we can to create the best possible framework. Our company structure is flat with a lot of freedom for employees to create their own terms and workflow. We actually call ourselves a family and have both regular and Christmas lunches and enjoy going out for a beer. We often go outside of the office for our lunches as well as for other activities, such as going for Swedish meatballs at Ikea, playing a basketball match or do business meetings on weekend trips abroad.

Reduced

Reduced is an innovative food production company. We specialize in creating high-quality food products made from excess produce. Our mission is to reduce food waste by using vegetables, protein and other nutritional sources leftover from the conventional food industry. Right now, we put all our time and effort into creating sustainable stock. We aim to develop a broad portfolio of products that will replace conventional choices. Always with a focus on taste and sustainability. In 6 months we have developed and launch four products based on excess produce, without seeking any financing. The products are sold in 55 supermarkets (Irma, SuperBrugsen, Meyers Deli etc), at Nemlig.com and in food service. The products are developed with one thing in mind: "How can we make taste from waste?". These are the four products: 1) Organic Chicken Stock: Made from egglaying chickens in excess from egg production. The chickens usually are used for biogas. We are changing this. 2) Shellfish Stock: Made from some of the 12 billion shore crabs in the Danish seas. Shore crabs are a massive problem for fishermen and they harm marine ecosystems. 3) Organic Vegetable Stock: Made from nordic seaweed and fragments of dried mushrooms. Seaweed is considered as one of the most overseen and essential resources of future food. 4) Organic Veal Stock: Made from bull calf bones in excess from milk production. There is little demand for bull calf bones. We strive to change the value chain. We now have a proven product-market fit and are looking into scaling our operation.

Mendonca Biomed

Mendonca Biomed is an early stage life science startup with the aim to develop and validate novel biomarker for the early detection of viral infections in blood with an affordable yet simple detection method that can be universally applied. The company was originally founded by myself Kevin Mendonca in India based on his 15 years of accumulative research knowledge. Preliminary data on the utility of viral miRNA biomarkers for the screening of blood for transfusion transmitted viral infections, which are potentially superior to the currently available markers, and a simplified assay that is cost effective and can be universally adapted, were developed in India. However, due to an innate lack of infrastructure and funding opportunities in India, I applied for the startup Denmark program to move the company to the medicon valley. I recently moved to Demark, registered a privately owned company and currently in pursue of funding to validate the viral miRNA biomarkers for the early detection of HIV, HBV and HCV in donated blood. Around the world, more than 92 million blood donations are collected every year. Screening of donated blood and derived products, for HIV, HBV and HCV is mandatory worldwide. Screening is a key safety measure in protecting recipients from transfusion transmitted infections, especially in developing nations in Africa and Asia, where the donated blood is not processed because of high costs and lack of infrastructure. Moreover, in emergency situation like natural calamities, disasters and sudden outbreaks, the currently available methods are inadequate for on-site screening. Serological testing (antigen and antibody detection assays) have historically been the foundation of blood screening but with huge drawbacks of long window periods. Newer strategies like the PCR based amplification viral genomic DNA/RNA in blood have helped shorten the window period but have not eliminated it. PCR assays have also been known to fail in low viremia and/or suboptimal amplification efficiency. They are far more expensive than the serological assay, requires expertise, specialized equipment and a molecular biology setup, which is not available in the resource poor settings of the developing countries. Our solution is to develop and validate novel viral miRNA biomarkers that have the potential to further reduce the window period and use the unique characteristics of these biomarkers to develop a simple, multiplex (3 in 1), inexpensive probe hybridization assay that can be universally utilized in all settings and conditions. Viral miRNA molecules are easy to validate as biomarkers since the presence of vmiRNA’s is a definite indicator of infected cells. Benefit: Multiplex 3 in 1 test. Method as simple to perform as the serological assay with the benefits of a molecular assay. Can be adapted in any setting, even in the field and low resource conditions in developing nations. Potentially, lower window period of detection compared to any biomarkers that are available in the market currently. Value: High throughput, lower turnover time with lower chances of human error. Advantages of a molecular assay with the simplicity and affordability of a serological assay. Does not require specialized setup, infrastructure and highly trained technicians. Potentially, could detect the infections faster than any other tests in the market, lowering the risk of transfusion transmission. Once this platform has been validated, the product line can be expanded to cover all commercially viable viral infections. A HPV assay based on this platform, for example, could be a potential replacement for the invasive PAP test, and can be performed during a routine blood test. The platform can be further adapted to screen for novel viral infections like SARS, MERS, ZIKA etc. It can be also be developed to screen and control other sporadic outbreaks the like Dengue, Chikungunya etc.

Ariia

Money laundering is a growing societal problem that annually costs Danish society between 34-59 billion or 1.7-2.9% of GDP. Besides the cost side of that, it creates a great inequality and leads to corruption which undermines society as a whole. Today the money laundering problem is rapidly increasing as the number of wanted individuals have been rising exponentially. ARIIA is a fintech company that develops an innovative IT solution to fight money laundering and financial crime. This solution enables banks and AML (Anti Money Laundering) regulated companies to ensure that they are not facilitating or involved directly or indirectly in such affairs. The three founders behind ARIIA are specialists within the AML sector and financial services. They have a proven track record of successful start-ups in financial services. ARIIA’s solution brings value via: 1. Compliance Ensuring that our customers comply with all the requirements set by the authorities in money laundering legislation. 2. Savings Providing additional savings by removing unnecessary expenses to run vendor systems on client’s premises using legacy rules engines. With ARIIA there is no maintenance, no fine-tuning, no solutions experts required. Our tool is cloud-based, ensuring all data protection best practices (encryption, data catalogue, etc.) 3. Business growth - up to 60% reduction in KYC cycle time - up to 70% cut in Case Resolution time - up to 50% reduction in False Positive hits Such efficiency boosts will improve customer experience and will free up resources for further business development. 4. Safeguard and peace of mind. Protecting from fines and reputational risks in an absolutely new level. With our cutting edge technologies we are able to uncover complex business structures that mask criminals or compromised individuals' participation, obscure connections, facilitation schemes and much more. Our cutting edge technologies: Central Knowledge Graph. The traditional method of screening is to make “lookups” vs sanction and watch lists. However the world is about connections and relationships. Our Central Knowledge Graph is a whole connection´s universe where we analyze companies and owners using interactive visual network. Interconnected Single Data Lake. Traditional approach is to work with siloed datasets that are updated one by one (often manually). We process many databases (bank data, public data, sanction lists, etc.) in a data model, which makes it possible to find far more contexts and connections vs traditional approach. And web crawlers that run 24/7 pulling the most recent up-to-date information from vetted sources. Intelligent Screening AI/ML Traditional approach includes rules engines and a lot of manual work that generates inconsistencies for the overall process and other limitations. We move from Rules Engines to ML models that learn from patterns, improve with feedback loops thus improving accuracy rates as well as ensure consistency in the process that is crucial for passing the audit from regulators. In a nutshell: ARIIA is the innovative, adding-value solution for KYC screening, transaction monitoring, AML compliance and risks identification in a single, intuitive platform. ARIIA are currently looking for funding opportunities to develop the MLP to the next level.

Poikilingo

Poikilingo is developing an adaptive language learning app for bilingual children, where social and cultural awareness are at the heart of our concept. Our program focuses on the cultural aspects of the language being learned, as we believe that cracking the social code is as important as learning vocabulary and pronunciation. This promotes a sense of belonging which will positively impact the child's learning process. We believe that each child is unique, so each of them deserves a study program that takes into consideration their peculiarities. The customized plan mixes activities, videos, songs and games, and adapts its level of difficulty according to the speed at which the child learns. We follow a consolidated learning approach that teaches different subjects through the language, all created by educational experts and aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. But the game-changing experience that Poikilingo brings into the market is based on animated stories where an avatar of the child goes through the culture clashes between her own culture and the one she is learning about. In societies with a high number of immigrants, it can both ease the integration of immigrant children, and also help to preserve the heritage language of descendants.
