Morten Ugelvig Andersen, CEO at Venture Cup Denmark, Anders Heebøll-Nielsen, Patent Expert at AWA, Stephan Christgau, Senior Partner at Novo Seeds and Jes Broeng, founding member at DTU entrepreneurship and serial entrepreneur, kicked off the first day of the intense and exciting program.
Mette Mikkelsen, CEO of VasDeBlock said, “I found the first-day workshop very enlightening! ……The team & roles topic by Jes Broeng was what made the biggest impression on me. In our team, we are 5 very different people and we will definitely benefit from being more open about our goals and values, strong and not so strong sides.”

The first part of the workshop was about discovering and prioritizing the relationships and tasks in their personal and professional life with a proactive approach.
“It made me reflect on myself, my goals and my relations, which is something I usually don’t spend enough time doing,” said Love Marcus, Co-Founder of Provement.
- Provement is a digital evaluation and communication tool that helps clinicians individualize childhood obesity treatment and make it more effective while reducing the clinicians’ workload and the families’ perceived effort.
The second part of the workshop helped participants to create their daily private victory by adopting the habits and keeping a win-win situation in mind.
“I learned how to sharpen my focus, listen to others, and prioritize better in a busy life. I also loved the positivity, micro-pauses and the emphasis on good sleep.” – said Margret Jonsdottir, CEO of Selective Humans.
- Selective Humans provides a solution that enables users of the service to scan the barcode of pre-packed food and food supplements to identify and select or avoid selected ingredients in a fast and simple manner.
After the workshop, the facilitator, Jannick B. Petersen gave his feedback on the participants:
“My impression of the participants is that they possess high commitment and competence. They can truly benefit from the 7 Habits in their endeavor because, at the end of the day, results come from being clear about priorities – and focusing on the most important – while keeping personal balance. I have seen too many startups fail due to lack of personal energy management.оформить займ онлайн”
