Gain insights from experienced founders who have scaled businesses before.
Get warm introductions to relevant networks, investors, and experts - locally and globally.
Join roundtables focused on critical growth challenges, where you’ll receive hands-on input from those who’ve been in your shoes.
Workshops & Offsites
Join in-depth workshops and offsite events tailored to the needs of scaling companies.
Examples include the Funding Academy – a series of four half-day sessions focused on preparing for your next raise, capped off with a trip to Slush – and the FGC Camp, a 24-hour offsite for members to connect, share experiences, and get input from growth advisors.
These formats create space for focused learning and peer exchange.

Work directly with an experienced founder consultant to tackle key strategic challenges.
Get tailored guidance on market selection, ICP refinement, commercial scaling, fundraising, and more.
Programs range from 10-50 hours and require co-investment from the participating scaleup.
Growth Advisors Our Backbone
Our Growth Advisors are what we call the knowledgeable frontrunners. They have created the maps for the roads less traveled as they have pioneered the scaling journey.

A Scaleup Founder is a founder building a company beyond the startup stage – with traction, a scalable business model, and ambitions that reach beyond Denmark. In Founders Growth Club, that typically means at least 10 employees, DKK 10m+ raised, DKK 10m+ in recurring revenue, and a clear appetite for international growth.

What is a Growth Advisor?
A Growth Advisor is an experienced founder, co-founder, or key executive who has scaled a company internationally – and is ready to pass that experience on. Not as theory. As practical, first-hand advice from someone who has been down the wrong roads, learned the right lessons, and can help other founders scale smarter.

You have built, scaled, and (probably) exited. You have raised funds, grown internationally, and want to pass it on. We look for founders, co-founders or execs with real-world scaleup experience. Read about the requirements under ‘The Club’.

What is Founders Growth Club?
FGC is a founder-to-founder community designed to help Danish scaleups grow internationally. Backed by Denmark’s Board of Business Development and the Danish Industry Foundation, we provide actionable advice, strategic connections, and tailored support from those who have done it before.
Who is behind Founders Growth Club?
FGC is led by Canute by Thursday, Erhvervshus Hovedstaden, and Danish Tech Startups in close collaboration with FBV and our Growth Partners: Danske Bank Growth, EY, EIFO, and Danish Industry.
Why only scaleups?
Because this group is under-served. Most programmes focus on startups or traditional SMEs. We are filling that gap.
