Heini Zachariassen videredelte detteHeini Zachariassen videredelte detteOn Google, the difference between a mediocre restaurant and the best in the city is about half a star. Sometimes nothing at all. Every place worth visiting sits between 4.0 and 4.7. That's not a rating system. That's every restaurant being told they're pretty good. On Vota, we use a scale from 1 to 100. All 100 levels are in play. A score of 100 means you're looking at one of the top 1% of restaurants in the world. A score of 1 — well, you know what that means. When the whole scale is in play, the scores actually tell you something. Download Vota. Help us fix restaurant ratings.

Heini Zachariassen delte dette"You've never been able to express yourself this clearly before." A Vota colleague said that to me yesterday. And it hit hard. I've always had the same challenge: I get a product idea and it's crystal clear in my head. I can see it. I can feel how it should work. Getting it OUT of my head has always been the long part. The old process: 🐌 → Conversation → Whiteboard → Designer → Figma → Back and forth → Eventually, a prototype Days, sometimes weeks. Good work by great people, but a tedious translation chain. Yesterday that changed. With Claude Design, I took the next iteration of a Vota feature straight from my head to a clickable, interactive design. Just prompted my way into something I could put in front of the team: "This is what it should look like." "This is how it should feel." "This is how the features should work." Speed is the obvious win. Hours instead of days. ⚡ But speed means more iterations. And more iterations mean a better product. For a founder who's been building products for 15+ years, this feels like a fundamental shift. What used to take you a week that now takes hours? #startups #ai #productdesign #vota

Heini Zachariassen videredelte detteHeini Zachariassen videredelte detteDet kan være en jungle at gennemskue online-anmeldelserne af spisesteder. Her kan en Michelin-restaurant, der udelukkende bruger de bedste lokale råvarer, få en dårligere rating end pizzabaren nede på hjørnet, der har et anstrengt forhold til levnedsmiddelkontrollen, men til gengæld er gavmild med dressingen og den fabriksfremstillede pepperoni. Den type skævheder har fået den dansk-færøske Vivinio-stifter Heini Zachariassen til at kaste sig ud i et nyt iværksættereventyr. Han har udviklet en ny app til anmeldelse af restauranter, som han har døbt Vota og kalder for en "Michelin-guide for folket." Det fortæller han om i et interview med Computerworld Du finder et link til artiklen i kommentarfeltet

Heini Zachariassen delte detteNot everyone agrees with us. But that's usually how we change things...Heini Zachariassen delte detteControversial opinion: a burger joint and a fine dining restaurant are comparable. Strip away the price. Strip away the occasion. What's left is food quality and experience and one of them is better. That's the idea Vota is built on. Agree or disagree? Download Vota and settle it.

Heini Zachariassen videredelte detteHeini Zachariassen videredelte detteOnline ratings can't tell you what the locals already know. Two restaurants can look identical on paper, same stars, same reviews and one of them is simply better. Vota fixes that. No stars, no sponsored rankings. Just honest opinions from real diners who actually know the places. Download Vota and help us build ratings that actually work.

Heini Zachariassen delte detteVivino ville ikke have været i Danmark i dag, hvis formueskatten fandtes i 2010. Der er to veje, det kunne være gået: 1) Vi havde ikke rejst penge og dermed tabt til den hårde globale konkurrence, vi stod i dengang. Vi ville sandsynligvis helt bevidst have undgået at rejse kapital, fordi vi ikke havde haft nogen realistisk mulighed for at betale en årlig ekstra skatteregning, udløst af værdier på papiret. 2) Og nok det mest sandsynlige: Vi var flyttet, så snart der var udsigt til at rejse penge og bygget Vivino et andet sted i verden. Formueskat bliver solgt som en “rigmandsskat”. Men den er mere en bygge-skat. De gamle penge skal nok klare den. Det er dem, der bygger, der bliver hårdt ramt. Hvis du beskatter værdier, før der er penge i kassen, tvinger du iværksættere til at sælge ud eller flytte. Det er sådan, man slukker for næste generation af danske startups. Alt det, en generation af iværksættere har skabt i Danmark de sidste 25 år, risikerer at blive destrueret af dårlig lovgivning. Det er de små virksomheder, der bliver store, skaber arbejdspladser og på sigt sikrer velfærden. Jeg har underskrevet et åbent brev til politikerne sammen med andre iværksættere i Danmark.

Heini Zachariassen videredelte detteHeini Zachariassen videredelte detteMost app founders fight for the most popular keywords in the App Store. That's exactly why they lose. The apps that win aren't targeting "weather" or "calorie tracker" — they're finding the keywords where they can actually rank, structuring their metadata like a roadmap for the algorithm, and nailing their rating strategy. I put together a video with Noam from Applift breaking down the exact ASO framework we use for Vota — the do's that will move you up the rankings, and the don'ts that can get your app banned entirely. https://lnkd.in/eFwS-tBp

John Schønberg yeah you might have to average out the restaurant rating. You can actually rate dishes now. Thank you for the kind words 🙏

Heini Zachariassen syntes godt om detteHeini Zachariassen syntes godt om detteJeg er beæret over at blive udpeget som ny bestyrelsesformand for Energinet. Siden jeg gik ud af politik for snart fem år siden, har jeg brugt det meste af min tid på at arbejde med klima og grøn omstilling. Nu får jeg mulighed for at arbejde med det på en ny måde. Energinet er en af de vigtigste aktører herhjemme for, at vi lykkes med den grønne omstilling. Samtidig betyder elnettet rigtig meget for at forbedre konkurrenceevnen for danske virksomheder og sikre energiuafhængighed. Jeg starter i rollen 15. august og glæder mig, og jeg ved godt, at det ikke bliver nogen nem opgave. Energinet sikrer dagligt, at vi har energi til alt, det vi vil. De er i gang med en historisk udbygning og store projekter, og de har samtidig en række konkrete udfordringer. Jeg glæder mig til at løfte opgaven sammen med resten af bestyrelsen, ledelsen, hele organisationen, kunderne og samarbejdspartnere. Det bliver en stor opgave, som selvfølgelig betyder, at jeg kommer til at skrue ned for mit fokus på investeringer, så jeg hurtigt kan lære området at kende og være med til at løse udfordringerne. Tak til Samira Nawa og regeringen for tilliden. Jeg ser frem til samarbejdet. https://lnkd.in/ehBJbE4a

Heini Zachariassen syntes godt om detteHeini Zachariassen syntes godt om detteChok! 113 sider fra Sø- og Handelsretten med titlen “KODA mod Werner…”. Det bankede hårdt på døren i vores hjem. Min kæreste åbnede, og til sin store skræk mødte hun en stævningsmand: “Goddag, det er fra Retten i Lyngby!” - hvorefter han stak hende den enorme bunke papirer. Jeg er blevet sagsøgt af en organisation med statskoncession. Derfor skal jeg i retten. Men bare rolig, jeg tager kampen op. Sammen kan vi hjælpe de tusindvis af restauranter og butikker, som i årtier har betalt høj Koda-afgift, fordi der manglede et reelt og billigt alternativ. Det alternativ får de nu uden at skulle betale til Koda - helt lovligt! Og når butikkerne sparer penge, får vi forbrugere billigere varer og bedre service. Hos Odatone har vi nemlig, sammen med en kendt dansk komponist, produceret mere end 5.000 egne numre til baggrundsmusik målrettet restauranter, indkøbscentre og butikker. Koda ejer ikke en eneste tone – i modsætning til Odatone. Alligevel opkræver Koda licens, når virksomheder afspiller musik offentligt. Selv hvis butikken afspiller musik fra Spotify, hvilket er i strid med reglerne, da Spotify ikke må benyttes erhvervsmæssigt. Det forholder Koda sig imidlertid ikke til. Når butikkerne indser, at en sådan musikløsning ikke er godkendt til erhverv, kan det betyde, at de helt slukker for musikken, og så frafalder Kodas licens uanset hvad, og lydtæppet trækkes væk under gæsterne. Det er her Odatone kommer ind i billedet, som ny international spiller, der udfordrer Koda. Over 1.000 virksomheder har allerede skrevet sig op til vores musik og digitale afspiller, der må bruges fuldt ud lovligt erhvervsmæssigt. Således vil de typisk spare 80%, fordi de ikke skal betale licens til Koda eller tilkøbe en afspiller. Fx koster det 1.643,94 kr./md. i Koda-licens til en café på 200 kvm, mens Odatone koster 300 kr./md. inkl. digital afspiller. Og selvom musiknumrene er forskellige, er det værd at kende til den enorme prisforskel, så må det være op til markedet at vurdere, hvad de vælger. Vi lever i et frit land, bygget op om konkurrence. Derfor skal vi som alternativ også have lov at sige det højt - vi skal ikke have mundkurv på! Musikere skal selvfølgelig have løn, hvis deres musik spilles offentligt. Derfor handler sagen i stedet om en spiller med eneret, der bruger midler på at bremse sund konkurrence. Det er et kæmpe problem for både dig, mig og de erhvervsdrivende. Det skal frem i lyset. Prøv selv Odatone.com gratis i 8 dage og vurder kvaliteten - restauranter som ovenstående kan spare over 15.000 kr. årligt, mens store kæder på flere hundrede butikker kan spare markant høje beløb. PS. Følg med i retssagen her på LinkedIn. Uanset om Koda ønsker det eller ej, vil restauranter, supermarkeder og butikskæder verden over lære Odatone at kende - og ja spare rigtigt mange penge.

Heini Zachariassen syntes godt om detteHeini Zachariassen syntes godt om detteTwo years ago, almost to the day, we signed the term sheet for Issuu to be acquired by Bending Spoons. A few weeks later, the deal closed. At the time, Bending Spoons was already impressive. But I don’t think many people fully appreciated what they were building. Today, Issuu sits inside one of the more fascinating portfolios in tech, alongside brands like WeTransfer, Evernote, Eventbrite, AOL, Harvest, Meetup, Vimeo, Brightcove and others. And now Bending Spoons has filed to go public. 500M+ monthly active users. Millions of paying customers. Hundreds of millions in quarterly revenue. A Milan-based company quietly became one of the most aggressive and effective software acquirers in the world. For founders, there’s a lesson in this. An acquisition is not just a price. It’s not just a term sheet. It’s not just a headline. It’s a decision about where your product, your customers, your team’s work, and your company’s legacy will live next. When we sold Issuu, of course I cared about the outcome for the shareholders and team. But I also cared deeply about the millions of creators and businesses who had used Issuu for years. Two years later, I’m grateful to see Issuu still serving that community as part of a much larger operating system. Bending Spoons has built something unusual. Not traditional private equity. Not a typical software roll-up. Not a venture-backed growth-at-all-costs machine. Something different. A company that buys scaled digital products and tries to operate them with a very specific discipline around product, engineering, monetization and efficiency. You can agree or disagree with parts of the model. But you can’t ignore it. And as someone who sold a company into that model, I’m watching with real appreciation and curiosity. The biggest lesson for CEOs: Don’t only think about who might buy you. Think about who should own the next chapter of what you’ve built. That question matters more than founders realize. #issuu #BendingSpoons #IPO #MergersAndAcquisitions

Heini Zachariassen syntes godt om detteHeini Zachariassen syntes godt om detteI own a vending machine company in Denmark with Sigurd Bæk Jensen and Adam von Haffner that is slowly being taken over by AI agents, and I could not be happier about it. Kioski.dk runs a fleet of smart machines. Real hardware, real snacks, real money. The boring parts (which machine is low, answering customers, what to restock first, which products are performing best, what to reorder) used to be handled by us staring at the raw data. Increasingly, agents watch the data and act. We hope that by the fall, the whole business will be run on an autonomous agent operating system (a bit like the Anthropics research project). Here is why this matters beyond one small Danish business. There is a story almost nobody tells about AI and work: more people owning small, real businesses that a few agents help run. Kioski.dk will never be a unicorn. It does not need to be. It needs to make a good living for its owners and its staff, and now a handful of agents handle the grind that once made a business like this not worth starting. The interesting number for me this decade is not how big the biggest companies get. It's how many people get to own one at all. So if running the boring parts got close to free, what small business would you start?

(FAO, 2025). That disconnect is something we spend a lot of time thinking about at Too Good To Go, because we believe technology can make it easier for surplus food to reach the organisations and people who need it most. 💚 That's why I'm particularly proud that our Donations+ solution has been recognised as one of the 100 Best Ideas of the Year 2026 by Actualidad Económica and El Mundo. 🏆 Donations+ helps connect food businesses with charities, making food donations simpler, more efficient and more traceable, so even more surplus food can reach people who need it instead of going to waste. A huge thank you to our partners, charities and teams who have helped bring this solution to life.

Heini Zachariassen syntes godt om detteHeini Zachariassen syntes godt om detteAfter 11 incredible years at Dixa, I’m excited to share that from July 1st, I will transition into the role of Chairman of the Board 🚀 Looking back, I’m filled with immense pride and gratitude. I still clearly remember when we were just 4 founders sharing a small office in Copenhagen and celebrating the founding of Dixa over G&Ts at Sankt Hans Torv 🍸 It’s hard to believe how far the journey has taken us since then... This feels like a true full-circle moment. 11 years ago, I started this journey as Co-founder and Chairman. Along the way, I had the privilege of serving as CEO for 7 years, later as Chief Innovation Officer, and now I return to the role where it all began 🔄 Together, we built Dixa from an idea into a global company serving some of the world’s most recognized consumer brands and e-commerce businesses. We secured more than $155 million from world-class investors across Seed to Series C, expanded internationally, built a category-defining platform, and earned the trust of amazing customers around the world 🌍 A huge thank you Christian Lohmann for your friendship, trust, and leadership as CEO over the past 18 months - together with your strong leadership team Morten Spurr Pihlkjær, Sascha E.H. Skydsgaard and Jakob Nederby Nielsen - has accelerated the company’s growth and momentum. We’re about to close an excellent quarter, welcoming major brands such as Net-a-Porter, Mr. Porter, Naked Wines, and YOOX 🏆 I also want to thank Thomas Neergaard Hansen for his outstanding leadership as Chairman and for being an invaluable mentor, sparring partner, and friend throughout this journey. I’m grateful that Thomas will continue to serve on the Board as we enter our next chapter 💪 And to my incredible co-founders - Jakob Nederby Nielsen, Krisztian Tabori, and Jacob Vous Petersen - thank you for one heck of a ride. Building Dixa alongside you has been one of the greatest privileges of my life 💙 And finally, to my wife, Heidi Blicher Fosselius ❤️ Thank you for somehow managing to share me with Dixa for the past 11 years 😀 Your patience, understanding, and constant support have meant everything. This journey wouldn't have been possible without you 🙏 What makes me most excited today is seeing Dixa thrive with a world-class team, strong leadership, a clear vision, and tremendous momentum. As Chairman, I look forward to supporting the company as we continue to shape the future of customer experience through innovation and AI 🤖 The next chapter of Dixa is just getting started ✨ Our Design Team has created a little trip down memory lane, celebrating 11 incredible years of Dixa 🎬 To every Dixaterian (past and present), customer, partner, investor, and supporter - thank you for being part of the journey. Thank you for the trust, support, and belief through the ups and downs. We wouldn't have made it this far without you 🙏❤️

Very cool with another YC-company out of Norway - Arcline (YC W26) provides AI-native legal services for startups, with same-day turnaround & elite lawyers in the loop. We are super proud at Antler having backed Arcline’s founder Pamir Ehsas from day 0. They’ve built a bench of top-tier startup lawyers to change that - folks from top schools (Harvard, Stanford, Oxford) and leading firms (Cooley, Goodwin, Fenwick). Arcline’s lawyers start with first drafts generated with AI, and then do final revisions. This ends up reducing the work by up to 80% - so startups pay elite lawyers only for the final 20%. More importantly, your legal matters can often be handled same-day. No other law firm today offers this kind of speed. In a few months, they’ve scaled to helping several Y-companies and 50+ venture-backed startups across the US and Nordics. Discover Arcline: arcline-ai.com Congrats on the launch, Pamir Ehsas + Stefan Mandaric!
