We are a rapidly growing scale-up with a very ambitious and impactful mission, backed by leading VC’s, Angel investors and the Danish Growth fund.

We respect work-life balance and have flexible working hours. We do not believe in micro-management but instead believe in creating an environment to help you learn and shine.
