Where ideas take shape
Originate is a project company for personal ideas and selected projects - from first sketch to finished product.
What is Originate?
Primarily personal projects - occasionally others
Originate ApS is a personal project company - the framework for primarily personal ideas and concepts. Here there's the freedom to experiment, develop, and realize projects without bureaucracy or overhead.
Own Projects
At the core is developing and running personal projects - large and small, from early experiments to finished solutions.
Creative Freedom
As a one-man operation, there's the freedom to pursue the ideas that truly matter - and invest time and capital where it makes sense.
Selected Partnerships
Occasionally, I also take on roles as consultant or investor on others' projects when they align with my experience and interests.
My Projects
Selected projects I'm working on
From small tools to larger platforms - here are some of the projects I develop and run.
Holsted Whisky
A craft distillery in Western Jutland where the whisky is given time to mature. Cask shares let you follow your own barrel all the way - and I build the concept and software behind it.
SponsorLeap
A new project in development. The details are under wraps for now - I'll lift the curtain when it's ready.
Your project?
Got an idea or a project I should take a look at? Maybe it'll be the next one shown here. Let's talk.
Some projects are public, others are private or under development.
Behind Originate
Ove Hessellund Ovesen
Software Expert with 25 Years of Experience
“Originate is my own space - for building the projects I care about. I've been building software and companies since the early 2000s and founded Conexio in 2003. Some have survived, many others haven't - that's part of the experience too.”
Occasional Consultant & Investor
When the project fits
While my primary focus is my own projects, I occasionally take on roles in selected external projects.
My Approach
I choose projects based on strategic fit, potential, and whether I can contribute meaningfully with my experience. This can be as consultant, technical advisor, or investor.
When do I say yes?
- •The project matches my experience and interests
- •There is real market and potential
- •I can add real value
