Tallinn, Estonia – April 24, 2025 – The New Nordic Challengers 2.0 Program has officially launched in Tallinn, welcoming 6 promising startups Tenity has recently invested in. This exclusive growth program is tailored for visionary founders looking to advance their cutting-edge fintech solutions and scale their businesses with the support of Tenity’s extensive global network of mentors, investors, and industry partners.
“What excites us about this cohort is their shared ambition to build solutions for the next era of finance—smarter, more adaptive, and deeply embedded into the real economy. Whether it's rethinking how we insure, comply, or interpret data, they’re solving pain points. That’s the kind of edge we look for at Tenity, and why we invest early”, added Andrea Fritschi, CIO of Tenity.

Crosscheck | United States
Crosscheck is an AI-powered compliance platform that automates 80% of sustainability certification for EU importers, reducing errors, costs, and fines.
Uve Poom, Head of Operations at Tenity Nordics, commented: "This batch indicates that LLMs are automating tasks that have so far required human reasoning. Compiling and comparing data from disparate sources is becoming easier by the day, leaving more time for analysis and synthesis."
“This batch demonstrates that customer acquisition in insurance is going digital. While paper-based user journeys have been in the bin for a while, insurers have still relied on phone calls and emails to issue policies. The self-serve trend is accelerating, enabling customers to benefit from an improved experience in line with today’s expectations”, explains Andrei Anghel, Head of programs at Copenhagen Fintech.
In the weeks ahead, these startups will dive into a hands-on journey filled with 1-1 intros, expert-led workshops and market access events in both Copenhagen and Tallinn designed to accelerate growth. Throughout the program, they’ll receive tailored guidance from the Tenity team and tap into a powerful global ecosystem of 1000+ alumni, 400+ mentors, and an investor network that spans the globe.
Their journey will culminate at Latitude59 on 22 May, where they’ll take the stage to present their progress and pitch in front of investors, corporates, and key players in the industry.
