More about CANUTE

CANUTE invites tech startups with an international go-to-market focus to a program covering the areas of networking, founder learnings, funding, cultural differences, recruitment and legal. Canute programs are created by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs.

Our vision with the program is to provide you with a useful network and knowledge for your launch in a foreign market that it would otherwise take you months to build.

 

During three days, you will connect with investors, marketing agents, recruitment specialists and extend your knowledge on co-working spaces and accelerators.

The program helps startups get an overview of relevant offices, events and networks to join when moving to the city as an entrepreneur. Startups and businesses will be sharing valuable hands-on-experience from launching in the market. From tech businesses with +200 employees in their local office to smaller startups who have launched in the city this year.

Tax, VAT, payslips, EIS; all subjects you have to get your head around when setting up your business abroad. With Canute, you will be set up with the right people to guide you through the jungle. 

You will also learn about fundraising from on-location international investors and hear investment stories from other startups. The programme ends with half a day of pitching and feedback with local based Angels and VCs followed by a networking reception.
