Interim Chief Financial Officer (CFO)/Investor (Via Østerlund Madsen Holding Aps)

LitUpp is a revolutionary concept of sharing knowledge and digital products on social media through an app and getting rewarded for it. Based on the principles of ”sharing economic”* that we all know from Uber, AirBnB, Gomore etc., - the peer-to-peer-based sharing of access to goods and services coordinated through community-based online services.
Happiness and fulfillment is our #1 goal in life, right? But for so many of us it seems out of reach – like it’s always just around the next corner.
At LitUpp we believe a life that energizes and satisfies you comes from understanding yourself and then using that knowledge to light-up the areas of your life that hold meaning for YOU.
The same path isn’t for everyone – but whether you want light-up your relationships, spirituality, energy or success (whatever that means to you) – we know you can make your life happier and more awesome by learning from people who’ve been there.
The system is screwed - we got our whole lives mapped out for us in our first few years of school. That message ruins lives - like our whole value is judged on how book smart we are. We’re so much more than that!
We want to help people understand how so many of their limitations and inhibitions have been pushed on you by a system that doesn’t work. School teaches us to remember stuff - it doesn’t value other types of intelligence than the ability to remember and repeat. But in the world today - we don’t need to remember - all the knowledge that was ever created is just a click away . . . what we need is the unique human potential to be creative and think differently.
Our mission is to reach those who didn’t fit into the system - to reconnect you with the awesome human being you are - to help you to build on the talents the system overlooked - and to give you the key to realize your full potential.
If you feel you don’t fit in - if you feel like you could do so much more - LitUpp is for you!
And in a world where mechanization is taking over - AI is gonna wipe out 70% of jobs within 30 years - the human element is getting more and more vital. It’s what makes us stand out from the machines.
LitUpp is about the spark within you . . . that will to ignite.
