About Us
Meet our Founder and CEO
“Our world is experiencing a difficult time on a Global scale. Governments are not capable of handling citizens’ massive need for social and economic help in post-pandemic scenario. There are huge refugee waves in several regions, many are experiencing crisis situations, and everyday life is tough and lonely for many. On top of this we have climate change to tackle, and also inflation as well as law and order. There is a huge need to re-build societies and economies. To get through all this I believe humanity needs to act together, we need to help each other rise, collaborate and build stronger communities. This is why I built TheHeroLoop together with my amazing team, to help organise a wave and movement where everyone in a self-sustaining and rewarding way help each other within their own communities to pay it forward. In any city. In any town. Everywhere.”

“Our world needs our actions, and our sunshine stories, let's pay it forward.”
– Bente Acking
During the pandemic Bente took the chance to innovate. Through winning hackathons she founded The Hero Loop to implement a feasible idea. She started by building a team of volunteers to win hackathons together with, whom some even later became temporary employees.
The Hero Loop company started to take form in March 2020, and founded August 2020. So far she has bootstrapped $250k of her own funds in The Hero Loop AB. If you are an investor, please reach out (LinkedIn). We have built an advanced technical platform, but we need to scale-up to handle the world.

Help create a better tomorrow
TheHeroLoop wants the world to be a healthier, happier way of life for all – at all ages. So we created a concrete way for everyone with a need to be matched with someone to help. We want to support transforming our world – to create a better tomorrow, for all life on Earth.
