Climate Founder Track
Scaling your climate startup takes more than ambition - it takes access. Our Climate Founder Track program connects Danish climate startups with the heart of global tech, giving you insider access to top investors, mentors, and the innovation ecosystem - and helping you gear up for international growth.
Climate is global - and so is your idea. But scaling internationally takes more than a great product - and that’s why we created Venture Abroad: Climate Founder Track. During a tailored two-week program in Copenhagen, we will help you sharpen your company’s internationalization strategy, prepare you to engage with investors and help you take on the world.
Anchored around TechBBQ (Aug 27–28), the program will connect you with advisors from Munich, Seoul, and San Francisco, as well as a delegation of international VCs looking for Danish deal flow. Through targeted workshops, 1:1 pitch coaching, and sessions led by experienced professionals, we’ll equip you with the insights, tools, connections and confidence to take your company global.
From structuring your next fundraising round to refining your go-to-market narrative and positioning for international growth, this program gives you a launchpad for navigating new markets as a climate start-up with clarity and momentum.
Our startup programs provide inside knowledge from the Silicon Valley ecosystem, hands-on pitch training with leading advisors and investors, fundraising insights as well as valuable network and connections.
With support from experienced advisors, founders, and VCs, our aim is to fast-track your startup’s growth.
What to expect?
- A week of intensive training and guidance from international operators and VCs
- Insights on how to scale your start-up in different international markets (US, Asia, and Europe)

Who is this for?
This program is for Danish early-stage climate startups looking toward international expansion.

We welcome companies across all climate tech verticals which show ambition and drive to engage deeply in the process.
