Friday Evening Plan

PitchesPitches on Friday night will be in a “pitch-fire” format, which means you will have just 60 seconds to

get the audience interested in your idea. You will have no slides or props -just your voice. You won’t

have time to go over features, so just focus on the core of the idea and make your enthusiasm conta-

gious. Here is the format for pitches that we recommend:

• Who are you and what is your background? (5-10 Seconds)

• What is the problem that your product is solving? Or, begin with a story (10-20 Seconds)

• Explain the product and how it solves the problem (10-20 seconds)

• Who do you need on your team (a developer, marketing, designer?) (5-10 seconds)

• Finally, make up a name for your startup so the facilitator can give it a title

Voting & Forming TeamsAfter pitches, you will have more time to mingle. If you pitched an idea, this is your time to start

recruiting others that may be interested in your idea. If you did not pitch, or if you are having trouble

finding others to join your team, use this time to seek out those that pitched other ideas that you

found interesting.

Next, the crowd votes on their favorite pitches. This is simply a way to encourage quick team form-

ing. This is by no means an exclusive process and if you pitched an idea and it is not voted as one of

the top ideas, you are more than welcome to work on it if you find some other people who want to

work on the idea with you. From there we will form teams and these are the startup ideas that will

be worked on over the weekend.

ChallengesDanske Bank challengeOn Saturday afternoon at Copenhagen Startup Weekend we will have two mentors from Danske

Bank. They will be there to give a feedback on fintech ideas that attendees will work during the

CPHSW weekend. Danske Bank also provided with two issues that are currently looking for a solu-

tion. This is a great opportunity to tackle a real problem that Danske Bank is facing and potentially

solve a pain on the market.

Here are two challenges from Danske Bank:

Digital advisory model

Small and medium sized enterprises (SME) have a strong need to know their financial possibilities as

to react to growth, changing business environment, challenges and opportunities. The service model

of banks is moving rapidly towards digitalization. How can we combine these two and we help clients

understand their company’s business and industry risk/opportunities and thereby provide transpar-

ency about financing possibilities – purely digital? Here are some ideas to start with:

• Which kind of external public data is it possible to procure? How can it be extracted from e.g.

pdf formats?

• Which kind of public data would be suitable to exhibit and for what other purposes could the

data be used?

• Which kind of data do companies desire and how can it be presented in a useful manner?

• Is it possible to indicate a score/quality/benchmark etc. based on the above?

Bankruptcy predictor

Can you predict bankruptcy or fraud based on external non-financial information and how can you

present this information for benefit for suppliers, customers, banks, authorities etc.? Some ideas to

begin with:

• Does the ownership structure of the company distinguish information for better prediction?

• What impact has management and board members experience?

• Can recurrence of companies working at the same address have anything to say?

• Are certain networks of suppliers, customers, ownerships more prone to bankruptcy?

Organizer of the Danske Bank challenge is our CPHSW partner Copenhagen Fintech Innovation

and Research – CFIR. For any questions related the Danske Bank challenge please contact business

ChallengesNordea challenge For most people and especially for the younger generation, life insurance and pension is simply

boring. It is high on complexity and low on interest. Most would actually rather go to the dentist than

think about what happens if they get sick, die or what to do when they retire. Many have no positive

relations to their pension company. They would be more excited about a new offerings from Google,

Amazon or Apple than from their current provider. So the real question is how do we change that?

Here are some starting points to think about the issues in everyday life that you could tackle during

the weekend.

• What do the future of the life insurance and pension industry look like?

• How can we use technology to make life insurance more relevant and easier to relate to?

• How can we make people feel the same interest for securing their own life as securing the

latest iPhone?

• How do we disrupt ourselves?

Why should you work on this challenge you ask? Winner of Nordea challenge at Copenhagen Start-

up Weekend will get an invitation to participate in Nordea intensive startup week. The event will

take place in Oslo, Norway in week 34. Invite-only teams with accelerator potential will be invited to

participate. Participating team will receive approximately €1,500 in order to cover various expenses.

The week will consist of pitch training, developing and validation of the idea and other related work-

shop to help you grow your startup idea. The week will end up with final pitching in from of panel of

experts where Nordea representatives will decide which team will be invited to participate in the

accelerator program.
