About Canute

At Canute we’re on a mission to help Nordic startups succeed internationally. We mainly do that with our three-day market entry programs abroad but also via event and networking activities in Denmark.

Our market-entry programs are currently available in Stockholm, Berlin, London and New York and are for Nordic startups ready to expand to the given market. During the program the participating startups get access to market knowledge and local network that can help them start and grow their business.

We’re a team of three and are located in Pilestræde in the center of Copenhagen where we share the building with other passionate startups and founders. Mia Grosen is the founder of Canute and has a background as a tech founder herself. Ellen De Bever is our Program Manager and responsible for all our international speakers and partners. Emil Brydensholt is our intern and responsible for all external communication. We’re a social team who love to have a Friday beer with the startups from the office and once a month we do a team day with a social activity. We enjoy great flexibility in our work and work remote or abroad when possible, as we’re all great travel geeks.
