BetterNow named top undiscovered startup in Denmark

The online platform for Danish non-profit organisation BetterNow has been named the top undiscovered startup in Denmark by the online valuation platform Equidam (equidam.com).

The top 10 ranking was whittled down from an initial list of 200 companies compiled by users of the Equidam valuation platform, public sources and directories.

“These companies displayed exceptional growth opportunity while not being on the main radar of investors or media websites,” Equidam wrote.

“We analysed Equidam information and gathered external data to determine companies that exceeded the mean performance among their peer group, aggregated based on industry, stage, and country.”
