Donkey Republic
Donkey Republic is a bike-sharing platform. It provides fleet managers with smart locks, apps and management platform to create and administer station-less and low cost bike share. The first locks are implemented at Roskilde University, Denmark in October, 2014.
The company aims to increase bike usage globally by making bike sharing more convenient, cheap and easy to implement.
I founded Donkey Republic with four others, and currently implementing and broadening our service. My role varies from sales and partnerships to managing supply chain.
Social Impact Bonds
Social impact bonds (SIB) are payment by results contracts between government and private sector and investors to solve social issues. These can be unemployment, childcare integration and many more.
Public benefits form SIBs, as it will learn about new ways of delivering social goals without the risk of losing funds. Currently, public projects tightly avoid risk, and focus on inputs rather than outcomes. This makes innovation difficult and undesirable.
I worked with Copenhagen Municipality and with various clients of Social Finance in designing and developing social impact investment cases.
Wedecide
Wedecide is a platform for citizen engagement to crowd source policy.

Since its launch in 2011, Wedecide served various municipalities and political organizations, including Europe's 3rd largest party, the Alliance of Liberal Democracts for Europe. These campaigns attracted thousands of participants producing hundreds of collaborative policy ideas.
I've led Wedecide business, including sales and implementation of campaigns.
