SCALEit is a global growth program for Danish startups initiated by Innovation Center Denmark and executed in a partnership with Yggdrasil.me. With great passion for Danish entrepreneurship, the goal is to immerse Danish high tech companies to the world’s entrepreneurial capital: Silicon Valley. By creating a bridge to this unique ecosystem, the program will accelerate young Danish companies with a focus on improving their international competitiveness and create worldwide growth. We believe in the huge potential of the Danish startup scene, and our motivation is to see more of these startups become Danish growth companies on global markets.

SCALEit is designed to enable and support a wide selection of talent in the Danish entrepreneurial environments. Over three years SCALEit aims to involve more than 1,000 Danish entrepreneurs, while providing up to 100 Danish technology companies the option of either one week or a three month stay in Silicon Valley. In the first cycle we focus on IT - with options to head for Cleantech, Lifescience and Pharma.

We focus on small Danish technology companies in the size of 5-20 employees - usually with sales on national or regional markets. We are looking to work with companies that are product oriented - not service oriented. For us, the difference is that revenues of product oriented companies may not be (approximately) linear to the operating expenses (e.g. personnel). We seek product companies that sell 10 units a month with the potential of selling 1000 units without a linear increase in expenses. That’s scalability to us.

Growth rocket for Danish companies
The SCALEit program is a multistage scale rocket that makes it possible for entrepreneurs at all stages to attend. The program follows three steps; a workshop in Denmark, a one-week intro camp in Silicon Valley and a three-months accelerator program also in the valley. Each step will refine and qualify the companies to accelerate through Silicon Valley and become global growth companies. But one size doesn’t fit all! Some companies are more mature than other, which is why participants don’t have to follow steps chronologically. If your company is ready to commit to three months, we are ready to have you.
