Hear from our existing partners
"Maria 01 has been our platform to establish startup collaboration operations. We have made real progress over the past two and a half years. The 2019 definite highlight was the Maria 01 Internal Transformation Program. The program has opened up a channel for us to connect with the entrepreneurs and pragmatic venture capital professionals at a scale. The program gives us a unique path to transform our development projects to a more customer and business-centric focus. We can see how individuals grow week after week."

"When we started our journey in the world of startups five years ago, one of the first things for us to do was to find good partners to help us navigate in this new environment – and along came Maria 01 and their team. What started as a probing of a new segment has turned into an integral part of Danske Bank’s operations – with the help of Maria 01 and other key partners, we have grown to be one of the leading startup banks in the Nordics."
