Ulobby

Ulobby ApS operates as a specialized Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider in the GovTech market, offering a platform for public affairs and stakeholder management. The company was founded in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 2016 by Anders Kopp Jensen and Bertel Torp. The founders identified a need to modernize the traditionally manual and time-consuming tasks of public affairs professionals, drawing from their own backgrounds in politics and public affairs. Anders Kopp Jensen, who served as CEO until 2024, has over 15 years of experience in the field, including roles at Burson-Marsteller and the Danish Investment Fund Association. Bertel Torp, the CTO, holds an MSc in International Business and Politics and is responsible for the platform's technical development.

The company's business model is subscription-based, providing clients with tools to monitor political issues, manage stakeholder relations, and gather political intelligence. Ulobby serves a diverse client base, including companies and organizations of all sizes, from experienced professionals to those new to public affairs. The platform launched its first version in November 2017 and has since expanded its operations, with offices in Copenhagen and Brussels. Key milestones include several funding rounds, such as a seed round in May 2019 and another round in September 2020 which included the Danish Growth Fund (Vækstfonden), CAPNOVA, and Cullen International, aimed at fueling expansion into the Nordics and strengthening its EU presence.

Ulobby's platform utilizes machine learning, artificial intelligence, and a knowledge graph to collect and analyze data from various sources like politicians, media, and social media. This enables users to track legislation, automate issue monitoring, and map stakeholder influence. The platform is designed to make lobbying more transparent and accessible. It offers features such as tailor-made monitoring feeds, stakeholder activity tracking, and data-driven reports to provide deeper insights into political issues. This allows organizations to better understand political risk, streamline their advocacy efforts, and measure the impact of their public affairs activities.
