What is the Denmark as Female Tech Founder Frontrunner programme?

We’re here to help women and non-binary founders in Denmark build successful tech companies. Whether you’re just starting out or ready to grow, we’ve designed these programmes to give you the skills, knowledge and connections to go further. With expert mentoring, accelerator opportunities and help raising funding, we’ll back you at every stage of your journey.

We run the programme in collaboration with Industriens Fond, Grant Thornton, Magnusson, Københavns Kommune, Nordea and other leading partners.

Why do we need this programme?

Denmark ranks below the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) average for female entrepreneurship for women between 18 and 64.

Only 1.7% of venture capital in Denmark is invested in female founder-led startups.

We’re here to fix that

By giving female and non-binary founders the support, mentoring and connections they need to grow and scale their tech businesses.

How does it work?

The programme is split into three powerful modules, each designed to give you practical tools to scale your business. You can choose to do one, two or all three.
