Activities inFounders Growth Club

A focused push on a real challenge, guided by someone who’s been through it before.

The Growth Sprint is a 3-month program where you get matched with a Growth Advisor (a founder or operator with relevant experience) to tackle a strategic challenge you’re facing right now. It’s designed to create momentum, structure, and accountability - without adding fluff to your calendar.

Here’s how it works

You share your current focus or challenge. Growth Advisors browse the list, and if someone feels they can help, they’ll reach out for a quick intro call. If it feels like a good fit on both sides, you continue the conversation with 1:1 check-ins over a 3-month period. We recommend at least 4 sessions, but you can do up to 6.

While the Sprint is centered around a specific challenge, such as go-to-market, hiring, or expansion, you can use the time however it’s most useful. Your advisor is there to share their experience, pressure-test your thinking, and help you move forward.

We’re kicking off our first Founders Growth Club roundtable with Stine Sørensen - an experienced founder who has scaled across borders and knows the pressure it puts on people and culture.

Where founders grow - by learning from each other, openly and with intention.

The Founders Circle is a peer coaching forum for members of Founders Growth Club who want to grow personally and professionally - by tapping into the experiences of other founders.

Each Circle meets monthly (online or in person) in a confidential setting, guided by simple tools that create space for honest, real conversations.

The sessions are structured but founder-led. You bring your current challenges, whether personal, professional, or relational and get perspectives, feedback, and support from people who get it. It’s not therapy. It’s focused, peer-driven growth rooted in coaching principles and mutual accountability.

Whether you’re navigating team dynamics, fundraising, or just trying to stay sane - it’s a space to grow stronger, together.

Three hands-on sessions to help you prepare for raising internationally

Funding Academy is designed for founders who want to sharpen their fundraising strategy and get investor-ready - without guessing what international investors actually expect.

Across three focused half-day sessions, you’ll work with experienced founders, investors, and legal and financial experts. You’ll get the tools and input to strengthen your investor story, prepare the right materials, and avoid common pitfalls.

Participation in the Funding Academy is open to all FGC members. You’ll also have the chance to join a separate FGC delegation to Slush, 18th -20th of November.

It cost 3.500 DKK to attend the Funding Academy - everything included.

Session one - How to get international funding

• Avoid the classic mistakes Nordic founders make when pitching abroad

Session two - Get your dataroom ready for funding

22nd of October

With experts from EY, Danske Bank Growth, and Bech-Bruun. International investors expect a lot from your data room - and legal maturity is often a dealbreaker.

• Overview of the five most common founder pitfalls in term sheets
• How to maintain a healthy cap table - and why it matters to investors
• What’s realistically possible when fixing cap table issues (e.g. secondaries, capital reductions)

We’ll also bring in examples from real cases, and Søren will share practical founder insights on what’s often overlooked.

Session three - Pitch and Get Feedback

This is where you put your work to the test. You’ll pitch in front of the group and get direct, structured feedback on your story, delivery, and materials.

• Hear from founders who’ve raised internationally - how the process differs and what they wish they’d known
• Get insights into how investor expectations shift when you go beyond local markets

Tailored advice to help you tackle your biggest growth challenge.

Get 100 hours of dedicated support from experienced founders and startup consultants - customised to your scaleup’s needs.
