Why Should You Apply To The Program

We have established a pioneering, industry-agnostic equity-free program tailored for Nordic founders, aiming to foster a more inclusive and supportive entrepreneurial ecosystem.

We encourage all tech startups with min. 1 female founder who are interested in scaling to apply to our growth accelerator program. We select the 10 most promising growth cases to participate in the program and become a part of our exclusive network.

We have gathered the leading Danish and international experts, mentors, advisors and investors in order to support your growth journey with concrete, hands-on and personalized know-how.

We are collaborating with the leading players and stakeholders in the ecosystem, including DTU, Google, EIFO, Startupbootcamp, KMD, Nordea Startup & Growth and many others.

We have also gathered the leading investors and tech VC’s in Europe and US, so you will get access to a large investor network and get direct exposure to investors at Partner level. In addition, you also get access to 500+ Corporate Partners.

Gaining funding is often key to scaling a tech startup, but it can be challenging and time consuming to get access to leading investors. We have secured that access and will be facilitating one on one meetings, events and Demo day where you will get to pitch to a carefully selected, invite-only audience.
