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.

  • When

    18. August 2025 00:00 to 28. August 2025 00:00

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)
  • Understand trends in the climate tech funding landscape
  • Direct access to a U.S. investor delegation visiting Denmark
  • Tactical sessions on fundraising strategy, international GTM, and investor storytelling
  • A founder cohort built for global ambition and peer learning
  • Full access to TechBBQ

Who is this for?

This program is for Danish early-stage climate startups looking toward international expansion. Your global ambition should be manifested in your business and visions, but we do not require you to be ready just yet - remember, that's why we're here. We welcome companies across all climate tech verticals which show ambition and drive to engage deeply in the process.

After the program, you will have

  • A sharpened pitch and narrative tailored for global climate investors
  • A clear sense of how and when to approach international fundraising
  • Tools and frameworks to shape your GTM strategy beyond Denmark
  • New connections with a mix of international advisors, investors, and peer founders.
