Leftovers

Leftovers (leftovers.food) is a marketplace for affordable, home-cooked meals made by talented local cooks and sold to students and young professionals. Problem: In cities like Copenhagen, there is a clear gap between expensive takeaway / delivery (often over 150-200 DKK per meal), and cheap supermarket food, which requires time, planning, and cooking skills many people don’t have. For international students, young professionals, and time-poor households, the result is: 1) Overpaying for mediocre takeaway, 2) Eating repetitive, low-quality convenience food, 3) Food waste from over-purchasing groceries, and 4) A lack of affordable, authentic, home-style meals. At the same time, there is untapped supply: 1) Skilled home cooks with excess capacity, 2) Parents cooking large family meals, 3) Culturally diverse residents who want to share traditional cuisine, and 4) People looking for flexible side income. Solution: Leftovers connects people who love to cook with people who want affordable, authentic, home-cooked meals. Through the digital platform, customers can: 1) Browse daily meals from local cooks, 2) Order affordable portions (e.g. 60–90 DKK), and 3) Pick up locally or access coordinated delivery. Cooks can: 1) Monetise excess capacity, 2) Generate flexible income, and 3) Build micro-brands around their cuisine. Leftovers sits between informal food-sharing and expensive food delivery platforms - creating a structured, trusted, and potentially scalable marketplace. Importantly, a favourable regulatory environment in Denmark allows small-scale food sales from home kitchens under certain conditions, lowering barriers to entry. Why Now? 1) Cost-of-living pressure makes affordable meals more attractive than ever, 2) Platform trust (ratings, payments, verification) makes peer-to-peer food viable at scale, 3) Cultural diversity in cities like Copenhagen increases demand for authentic cuisine, 4) Regulatory tailwinds in Denmark lower entry barriers relative to many other countries, 5) Consumers are increasingly open to non-traditional food distribution models, and 6) Values of trust, community, sharing and sustainability in Denmark are key enablers. Founder: Leftovers is rooted in lived experience. I identified the problem firsthand while living in a Copenhagen student dorm, and validated demand through surveys across students, young professionals, and families. I understand scalable marketplace economics from your finance background. I have hospitality connections (chefs, food influencers) and access to capital networks. And finally, I understand how to position this as more than a food app - but as an authentic, community-driven, scalable, city-by-city platform model. How? The app is live (https://apps.apple.com/au/app/leftovers/id6748817523) and a kickstarter program is imminent to launch (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/leftovers/leftovers-pilot-edition-a-community-food-sharing-experiment) in collaboration with CBS student housing to further validate the concept. The near-term plan is to build awareness and trust in order to drive user adoption. A targeted marketing campaign (incentives, content and events) and funding efforts are underway. I am looking to offer a co-founder equity that is passionate about the concept to help drive community-building and marketing efforts. Leftovers is not just about cheap meals, it’s about unlocking under-utilised kitchen capacity, creating income opportunities and empowering home cooks, reducing food waste, building local food communities. Long-term, it becomes the Airbnb of home-cooked food - starting in Denmark, then expanding city-by-city across Scandinavia and Europe. *We are on a mission to empower home cooks to provide a more affordable, authentic and sustainable alternative to delivery, while building community*

Galeria 18

Galeria 18 is developing a unique, Southern European-inspired gallery space to help art lovers and emerging artists find a creative community, explore new art forms, and showcase their talent in a relaxed, inclusive atmosphere. Our mission is to foster creative connections and make contemporary art accessible to all, with a hands-on approach to curating, exhibitions, and workshops. In the contemporary art scene, emerging artists often face barriers to gaining visibility and connecting with a community of like-minded creators. Many galleries are formal, exclusive, and intimidating, leaving talented artists without a platform to share their work. Art enthusiasts, on the other hand, are looking for a more relaxed, intimate experience where they can appreciate art at their own pace and engage with the creative process. This gap affects both the artist's exposure and the audience’s ability to connect deeply with art. At Galeria 18, we are solving this by creating a dynamic space that blends a gallery with a creative hub. Our gallery showcases modern art from both emerging and established artists, offering a platform for creativity, connection, and growth. In addition to exhibitions, we host workshops and courses led by the artists themselves, fostering a community where artists can share knowledge and connect with visitors. We aim to break down the barriers between artists and the public, making art more approachable and interactive. The motivation to start Galeria 18 came from a deep desire to create a space where art can flourish in a non-intimidating, vibrant atmosphere. I, Karen Dulong, have always been passionate about both art and entrepreneurship. With my background in strategic design and entrepreneurship and my own experience as an artist, I saw an opportunity to create something different – a gallery that not only showcases art but also acts as a creative haven for both artists and the community. This gallery is my way of supporting artistic talent and making art a more inclusive, shared experience.

Styla

Styla is a fashion discovery app that helps style-conscious individuals to keep up with fast-paced fashion trends by offering a platform where users can share and explore outfits. Our vision is to become the single source of truth of fashion. The problem is twofold: Consumers find it difficult to keep up with ever-changing fashion trends, and when they do, the trends they see aren’t always validated or trustworthy. At the same time, influencers struggle to monetize their influence effectively on current platforms. -The app’s trends are validated by real-time engagement metrics, ensuring that what’s shown as trending reflects what users truly love. -The app offers shoppable links and a variety of filters—including age groups—for a personalized experience. -Content Creators are able to monetize their content, while fashion brands get high quality exposure and are able to access to trend data and performance analytics. The motivation behind Styla came from the frustration of trying to keep up with the ever-changing fashion landscape. Like many others, I didn’t have the time to constantly follow fast-moving trends, and the ads I encountered felt disconnected from what was actually "in." I wanted a platform that would show me what’s actually trending for a person like me, and I realized many others shared the same need.

LIMA Dynamics

In classical drug discovery, researchers sift through a large database of known compounds, until they find one that has a desired effect on a target virus/protein. A new technique, Inverse Molecular Design flips the script: Researchers specify a desired behaviour/effect, and Generative AI builds the drug molecules. Generative models for drug design navigate a configurational space vastly larger than their counterparts in image generation, necessitating massive volumes of highly specific training data. LIMA is the first MD software build for generative AI. Unlike other MD engines, it plugs directly into existing technologies used to train AI models (PyTorch), making it possible to directly simulate drug discovery experiments. LIMA MD will enable companies to generate compounds not possible in a wet lab and put this information directly into Generative AI models. Why are we doing this? To help pave the way for a new generation of drugs, with fewer and well known sideeffects.
