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

Heini Zachariassen videredelte detteHeini Zachariassen videredelte detteThe 5-star rating system puts restaurant lovers in an impossible position. Your favourite neighbourhood pizza place deserves an honest score, but a 4 feels too low and a 5 is simply not true. That's the problem we're solving with Vota. Instead of stars, you compare restaurants you've visited. Your pizza place gets a 72. A 3-star Michelin gets a 100. Both scores are honest. Both make sense. Download Vota and help us build ratings that actually work.

Heini Zachariassen delte detteThe Messy Middle is where startups go to die. No launch excitement. No clear finish line. Just the grind. That's exactly where Vota is right now. Scott Belsky nails it in his book: you need to endure AND optimize. But how do you actually do that? Two words: Motivation and Momentum. They're not separate. They feed each other. → Momentum excites the team → Excitement fuels motivation → Motivation creates more momentum Lose one, and you're in a death spiral. So we celebrate every win. Today's win: 50% of all restaurants in Copenhagen are now rated on Vota. 🎉 We're not successful yet. We know we have a long way to go. But we're moving forward - and that matters. The Messy Middle doesn't care about your vision or your pitch deck. It only responds to M&M. Always Keep Pushing. #startups #entrepreneurship #vota #founders #momentumHeini Zachariassen delte detteCopenhagen is the first city to have 50% of all restaurants rated on Vota!

Heini Zachariassen syntes godt om detteHeini Zachariassen syntes godt om detteYou can't control outcomes 😬 (It's not what anyone really wants to hear!) But you certainly can influence them a great deal. ✅ You can control the way you show up. Energy. Collaboration. Communication. Dedication. Determination. All of these impact others around you a great deal. Maybe more than you know. ✅ You can control the things you work on. A not B. This not that. Knowing what to say yes to vs what to say no to is a superpower. And this impacts others around you a great deal as well as your own success. Not always easy when there is a lot to do, but it doesn't change the fact that focus is a superpower. ✅ You can control the final product you deliver. Maybe that's a new marketing program, maybe a new HR handbook, maybe a new sales motion, maybe a new way of onboarding employees. And what you deliver sets the bar for what great looks like. If done well because you controlled how it was done and the focus you gave it, the output can be a game-changer. 🛑 What you can't control are outcomes. What happens when you've delivered something is out of your control. HOWEVER, this is why the things above matter so much, because you should absolutely have outcome driven goals and control what you can to deliver an awesome initiative that is as close to or maybe even exceeds your ambition. This is not an excuse for for not having clear and epic goals. That will set the tone for the teams actions and final work products. This is really about: how you get there matters a great deal too, especially if you are trying to create a work environment where there is learning, growth, joy, laughter, trust, camaraderie, ambition. Don't believe me? Go talk to someone who is just coming into the workplace now and they care a great deal about this. Thank god for that! This is a core insight of Human Success that can lead to very different kinds of cultures and outcomes. Reward inputs, outputs, and outcomes and see your team soar.

Heini Zachariassen syntes godt om detteHeini Zachariassen syntes godt om detteVi har skrevet et lille stykke dansk mediehistorie i GoLittle PLAY. Vi har netop udgivet episode nummer 1.000 (!) af vores daglige comedy-show, Go' morgen Zoo. Idéen var at lave et originalt, nyskabende og langtidsholdbart comedy-show for børn, der kunne fungere som skærmfri morgenvækning. Og det er i høj grad lykkedes på grund af disse to flotte og veltrænede unge mænd. Fra en kælder i Vanløse har Karsten Baun og René Riis udviklet et overflødighedshorn af vanvittige karakterer, som børn (og deres forældre!) over hele Danmark elsker og vågner til hver morgen. Eller lytter til ved morgenbordet eller i bilen på vej til skole. Bl.a. er der Festaben Flemming, der taler syngende nordjysk og elsker håndbold, Volbeat, jokes, juice og peanuts. Giraffen Gurli, der er dyreparkens højeste dyr, kalder alle andre for pissemyrer og i næste uge får den nye læderjakke, hun har ønsket sig i årevis. Og så den måske mest legendarisk figur af dem alle: Lemuren Lenny. Min absolutte yndling, der er et merge mellem Donkey fra Shrek, Tigerdyret og Dory fra Find Nemo. Udover, at han pure nægter at blive vasket, kan han ikke rigtig beskrives men skal opleves. Der udkommer en ny episode af Go' morgen Zoo hver mandag til fredag, og hver eneste episode er et bevis på, hvad man egentlig kan med lyd. Hvis man gider og i øvrigt er helt vildt dygtig. Og det er Thomas Banke Brenneche og Jonas Landin, der har forvandlet Karsten og Renés univers til noget af det bedst producerede lyd, jeg nogensinde har hørt. Særligt taget i betragtning af, at Go' morgen Zoo udkommer fem dage om ugen og, som alt andet i GoLittle PLAY, er produceret til børn uden nogen form for offentlig støtte eller public service-midler i ryggen. Det er en kæmpe bedrift og en lille milepæl, som alle involverede kan være mega stolte af. Nu går vi efter episode nummer 2.000 - og så drømmer jeg i øvrigt om at bringe alle dyrene til live i et animationsformat. Så hvis du ved, hvordan man gør den slags, så skriv lige. Tillykke til alle i dyreparken 🇩🇰

Heini Zachariassen syntes godt om detteHeini Zachariassen syntes godt om detteTak for en rigtig fin snak om SAGA, Thomas Hvelplund Askjær 🙏 👍 Om det at være 'igang igen' i en super spændende tid, om de systemiske udfordringer i skolen og den kæmpe motivation der ligger i muligheden for at gøre en forskel på noget vigtigt. Og stort tak til team SAGA 🧡 Uden Laura Amalie Krarup, Christian Holm, Tobias Heiberg, Simon Hjaere Hansen, Frederik Ingwersen Linnemann, Simone Horwitz & Hélène Hulthin Hagnéré var det bare en idé. Istedet bruges SAGA og Skabende Læring nu i skoler hver dag 💪

Heini Zachariassen syntes godt om detteHeini Zachariassen syntes godt om detteDe farligste kunder siger ingenting. Ifølge Gartner klager 91% af utilfredse kunder aldrig. De forlader dig bare - uden ticket, uden NPS-svar, uden en enkelt rød feedback-prik på dit dashboard. Det er ikke en fejl i dit feedback-system. Det er feedbacken. Vores problem er, at vi har designet hele organisationer omkring de 9%, der råber. NPS måler dem. Support hører dem. Ledelsesrapporten er bygget på dem. Og imens forsvinder flertallet i stilhed. Hos Vivino er vi begyndt at kigge på det, vi tidligere kaldte støj: scanninger der ikke fører nogen steder hen. Søgninger der ender uden et klik. Sessioner der lukker midt i et flow - tilsammen er de den dør der lukkede, som vi aldrig hørte. Det handler ikke om at automatisere flere svar. Det handler om at lytte anderledes. Og at behandle adfærd som feedback - særligt når den er stille. Det var det, jeg sagde fra scenen til Salesforce Agentforce World Tour. Algoritmen ved allerede, hvilke kunder der er på vej væk, før de selv ved det. Spørgsmålet er, om vi har modet til at handle på det, ingen siger højt. Tak til Salesforce og Jan Simonsen for at give mig scenen - og til alle, der kom forbi bagefter for at snakke videre. Det var en dag, der gav mere energi tilbage, end den krævede.

Mergify - Global Consultancy Firm
The fundraising market has changed and founders need to adapt. Investors no longer fund ideas. They fund discipline. Founders who come prepared with audited numbers, clear repayment logic, customer acquisition clarity, and strong unit economics get meetings. Those who don’t, wait months. At Mergify, we remind founders that their documents speak before they do. If your pitch deck, financial model, or data room doesn’t withstand a five-minute analyst review, you’re out before the meeting begins. The market is tough, but it’s predictable. Show revenue. Show logic. Show control. Capital follows structure not hope. #FundraisingStrategy #VentureCapital #StartupExecution #FounderInsights #InvestmentReadiness #FinancialDiscipline #ScaleUp #Mergify #CapitalRaising #UnitEconomics #RevenueDriven #StartupEcosystem

Rupesh Aggarwal
In a startup world obsessed with blitzscaling and billion-dollar valuations, Henrik Werdelin's new venture, Audos, takes a different path - one that might be quieter, but no less ambitious. Rather than chase a few unicorns, Audos aims to help everyday people build hundreds of thousands of AI-enabled, revenue-generating businesses that may never raise venture capital, never IPO, and never appear on a leaderboard. Annndddd yet...they might do something more meaningful: change the economic trajectory of the people building them. Audos is offering infrastructure:tools, guidance, distribution, and early capital - all shaped by AI, but built on a very human insight. Their model is clear: no equity, no cap tables, no pitching. Instead, a 15% ongoing revenue share — a cut that mirrors app store fees, and that some might question over the long haul but for others, it’s a bridge where no other funding exists. Is it perfect? No. Is it repeatable? Possibly. Is it timely? Absolutely. In a year where the labor market is shifting, AI tools are proliferating, and people are increasingly asking, “What else could I build?” — Audos offers a compelling, if unconventional, answer. It may not create the next Google. But it might help create the next generation of self-sustaining, AI-augmented small businesses. And in 2025, that might be the more radical idea. #smes #SmallBusiness #venturecapital #Startup #AI #ProductThinking #tech #Donkeycorns #funding LinkedIn News

B2A Business Growth Mentoring
Most founders think growth is about sales or funding. But behind every scaling company is one skill, communication. - Communicate the vision, teams align. - Communicate value, customers trust. - Communicate clearly, decisions get faster. Poor communication costs companies millions in wasted time and effort. At B2A Business Growth Mentoring, we mentor founders and executives to build communication systems that drive business growth, not just conversation. #Leadership #CommunicationStrategy #Entrepreneurship #B2ASystem #ExecutiveGrowth Follow B2A Business Growth Mentoring for leadership and communication insights that scale business clarity.
