Danish Founder Breakfast · Small World Sommerfest 🇩🇰🗽

​Just got back from two weeks in Copenhagen. Landed for vacation with no idea it was Copenhagen Tech Week — it really is a small world in Denmark and we ended up spending time with some of the most amazing founders there.

​Now it's our chance to pay back the "Danish hospitality" – next Thursday morning, we will be hosting a breakfast to welcome 5 amazing Danish founders and introduce them to our small world here in NYC.

​There are some remarkable brands and products coming out of Denmark that deserve more attention – and some future ultimate compounders hiding in plain sight:

Sander Janca-Jensen, founder & CEO of Flatpay, one of Europe’s fastest-growing unicorns, bringing its formidable field-sales machine to the U.S. with a launch this month. Watch out, Square and Toast!

Martin Assenholm Nielsen, founder & CEO of Blackbird Coffee, building the "Cintas of workplace coffee" – a modern business-services platform for an overlooked $100bn category.

Anders Cederholm Nielsen, founder & CEO of Arturel, a Nordic tastemaker in design and wellness shaping a new consumer product category tackling noise pollution.

Peter Baech, founder & CEO of Kanpla, building the operating system backbone for the $360bn contract catering industry – a hugely underserved category – and now raising its Series B.

Simon Cederholm Lyhne, founder & CEO of Shouter, now taking his next big swing in stealth AI consumer tech – you’ll have to ask him what he’s cooking up ;)

They’re making concrete moves to expand to the U.S.: hiring, raising capital, meeting customers, developing partnerships...

If you’re curious about these companies or the Nordic ecosystem more broadly, come to our Sommerfest. We'll also be showing them around NYC next week, so if you want to join us for a walk, lunch, or quick meeting, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
