Artifical intelligence, healthcare, robotics, defense, synthetic biology - one room in Copenhagen. Attendees from London, Paris, New York, Tokyo, and all over the European continent.
Heartcore Day 2026 packed a lot more range into 24 hours than most things I have attended this year :)
Three things stood out:
The incredible breadth. Andreas (Corti) with a healthcare foundational model, Evan (Fora Travel) with a platform empowering travel entrepreneurs, Eden (Nūmi) making breastmilk for moms who can't breastfeed, Fabian (Qualia) making the layer that robotics companies building on VLAs need, Simon (EGIDE) explaining Shahads with Pixar, Mehdi (Davis) outlining their incredible recursive language model in real estate, and a few founders still in stealth, together in one room. The range of incredible businesses Heartcore founders are building has never been wider.
The truth. The best moments were the ones where founders and LPs talked openly. We asked for honest conversations and got them!
The love. An evening of jazz (way too loud! but apparently world-class), then a day of debate on what we have learned, what we are seeing and where we go next.
Thank you to every founder and LP who gave us those 24 hours. The trust, and the honest conversations in this three-sided marketplace business, are what makes us work. $500M returned so far!
Already planning Heartcore Day 2027! If you were in the room: say hi and lmk what I missed. And if you want to be in the room: comment and I'll put you on the waitlist for next year!
