David pulled off his first entrepreneur andevour during high school in the mountain resort Krkonose, Czech Republic. Tourists were provided with scooters to go downhill. It turned out to be a profitable summer season but also challenging in a way he didn’t have a driving licence as a teenager. For that reason, next season he found a new journey – stock trading. It went multiple times up and then… you know the story. But it was until the business studies in Copenhagen where last venture got founded – a graphic design & development house that connects talented freelancers with innovative companies.
When he’s not building new products, he organizes Fuckup Nights Copenhagen that empowers managers to openly talk about professional failing or hosts Nest Talks about entrepreneurship, co-living and happiness. Oh, and if he’s not here, look into the sky – he might be paragliding.

Founders House is a co-working space for scalable tech startups and she wanted to get a foot into the entrepreneurial world after a crazy Startup Weekend in Vancouver.
Here she got to meet all sorts of startups and the passion and drive from entrepreneurs pursued her to keep moving in that direction. She postponed her MA to get back to Vancouver, Canada for a year where she worked in 3 different startups. The UX team of one is hard work and she’ll probably never work in Fin-Tech startup again, but her worldview expanded and she came back to Copenhagen with an ambition to turn her MA into a startup. While she worked on her social impact startup Foster Success, she moved into Nest and became the Danish chapter founder of Ladies that UX – Copenhagen, an international woman group for UX designers.
With great people she realized that the UX path was more for her, and she’s now working on setting up CPHUX a community for professional UX designers with the vision to create transparency about what UX is and how it can be used. She’s for sure the person to go to, if you have any UX questions!

Entrepreneur since 2009 with something as old school as a wine shop. Now in 2014, there are four of them. All named SMAGFØRST.
Morten has always known he was going to be an entrepreneur, but that he started with wineshops was more or less a coincidence – a pleasant one though, as it allows Morten to combine his hobby with work.
Selling wine is a highly competitive business, which has made Morten to focus on selling an experience and not only a bottle of wine. Having way too many different ideas for just one company, he started Tastersbox.com in 2014 – a concept that brings new wine experiences right to your doorstep every month.
When not working, Morten will be eating out, travelling or hanging out with friends – all accompanied by beer rather than wine, as wine tends to taste like work.
