Tjek

Tjek was founded in Aalborg, Denmark in 2009 by Christian Birch and Morten Bo. They were surprised at how inefficient the process of distributing physical catalogs was. They thought a better way was needed. They built a service to automatically extract all deals from a digital PDF catalog. Then they launched an iPhone app that allowed you to search for deals near you. The app became an overnight success and it went fast from there. Tjek was fortunate to be funded by Karsten Ree and Frank Ludvigsen, which helped scale the business. Fast forward to today: Tjek has a great team, awesome customers, is profitable, gone international, and helps hundreds of thousands of people every week.
