Jakob founded WebProof in Copenhagen to make graphic production simpler, more efficient, and better integrated.

Our clients come from over 100 countries, and they approve over 5 million pages each year.
Our vision
We want to keep providing the best web-based solutions to automate collaboration and online proofing in marketing and advertising work. The "Lean Theory" inspired our desire to systematize and automate repeatable processes to improve speed and quality.
Our story
In 1998, Jakob was working as a database programmer when he first heard about the difficulties in the graphic production industry. He was working for a company that collaborated with IBM translation teams in France, Spain, and Italy. He was concerned with how complicated the proofing process was and how much time it took. A problem-solver at heart, he built a solution. It was called WebProof, and the company was established as WebProof A/S.
Today, WebProof works both as an online marketing collaboration and proofing platform and a cross-media publishing tool. By integrating with its own hot folder-based workflow, it has become the most automated workflow on the market.
Jan is a business founder with a technical background. He has a Bachelor of Science degree. He started his career in the graphic industry, where he got first-hand experience with the pitfalls of traditional document proofing. It was apparent to him that dealing with so many emails was ineffective, making it difficult to assign responsibilities and measure progress. He also saw how difficult it was to meet deadlines. This knowledge helped him see the potential in WebProof and moved him to invest in the company.
Martin has been the chairman of the board for 15 years, and he has helped build WebProof A/S into a powerful business. He is one of the most respected IT lawyers in Scandinavia. He co-authored the first treatise on Danish Internet Law. He also co-founded the Danish E-Commerce Association, Internet Society DK, Creative Commons DK, Danish Open Source Vendors Association, and Quantified Self DK.
Christian has achieved amazing results as an Internet Marketer. He has increased the number of visitors to Planday's website by 2,000%. He is an expert in the area of learning from customer feedback and improving services based on that feedback.
Niels has documented how large organizations can use WebProof to optimize their graphic production and establish effective routing workflows.
