TESTIMONIALS

  • INGI RAFN SIGURDSSON

    "It is great to be noticed, and even better to be recognized – giving the team some satisfaction for the hard work put in. This recognition helped us in a great way with validating our solution to both partners and customers, we have heard from people they have noticed the award and were curious about us. We were in the middle of closing our seed round when we received this award so it was a nice boost when going through the investment process."


    CEO at Karolina Fund (Regional winner of "Best Social Tech Startup" category in 2016 at Nordic Startup Awards) - from Iceland

  • BRIAN MUNKHOLM

    We are very humbled and deeply honored by it. I think this award is quite important to us. It is a great testament of the technology that we have developed over the last four and a half years, so it is hugely appreciated.”

    VP of Engineering at Realm (Regional winner of "Startup of the Year" category in 2016 at Nordic Startup Awards) - from Denmark

  • ANETTE NØRGAARD

    "Nordic Startup Awards is a great organization because they recognize startups and make them visible. If they want to have success, they need this visibility; they need customers, investors and everyone to have a reference to them. Nordic Startup Awards is really helping them with that."

    NextGen AMM at Microsoft, sponsor of Nordic Startup Awards - from Denmark
