About Sydhavet
Two practices that would rather be good than big.
After many years building and leading technology teams in growing companies, Sydhavet is a return to the parts of the work that matter most: making things, and helping others make good decisions about them, together with people who care.
The name
Sydhavet
/ˈsyðˌhæːvəð/ · Danish · “the South Sea”
Sydhavet is a local name for the South Funen Archipelago: a scatter of small islands, sheltered water and old maritime towns in the south of Denmark. Sydhavet sits on one of those islands, Tåsinge, on an old farm just next to the water.
The name is a reminder of what we are aiming for. Unhurried, rooted in a place, and built with the kind of care that comes from not having to chase scale.
Founder
Jeppe Nejsum Madsen
Jeppe has spent his career building software and the teams behind it, in technology leadership roles at companies including e-conomic and Coinify, and as co-founder of FleetZone. He has been on both sides of the table in mergers and acquisitions. He holds an MSc in Computer Science from the University of Copenhagen.
Sydhavet is his way of doing the work he enjoys most, without the politics and overhead of a large organisation. Through Sydhavet Partners he works hands-on with founders, CEOs, boards and investors on technology and product. Through Sydhavet Software he builds his own software products.
The work we say yes to
Something real at stake
A product with users waiting, or a decision that will shape the company.
People who care
A small, motivated team on your side who want to be closely involved.
Room to do it properly
Realistic timelines, and a shared view that quality pays for itself.
