Programme process
Beyond Beta does not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. This is why the programme is tailored to your individual needs.
How we help:
- We pair you with the right resources at the right time.
- You will be paired up with 2 dedicated mentors (industry and startup experts), who will make sure that you can navigate the process. They will offer honest feedback and support your success without any financial stake in your business.
- You will gain access to an extended network within the robotics, automation and drone industry.
- We will help you towards rapid scaling.
- We help you secure the first investment based on the experiences of +1000 startups.
As you get a tailored programme, the length of the program may vary within a 12-month period.
How it works - tools and training
Camps:
When we tailor your programme, you will be able to attend camps within the subjects of: Product-market fit, Leadership and business models, Sale and execution, Scaling, Funding, and Internationalisation.
Mentoring:
Mentoring is crucial for startups, and each founder requires personalised support. You will have two mentors by your side throughout the programme, who will support you with valuable guidance. One of them an industry expert and the other an expert in the startup field. These mentors will help you refine your product and tackle key issues. They will offer honest feedback and support your success without any financial stake in your business.
Insights on internationalisation:
Most Danish startups only start to think about their international strategy when an investor requires it, which is too late. At that point the organisation has grown big and more structured - which in this case translates to slower and significantly more expensive to change and adapt to new markets. Beyond Beta's internationalisation programme is designed to give you a more structured and scientific approach to expand beyond Denmark and select the right markets. You will learn how to build a global organisation, how to do data-driven market selection and pitch to international investors.
Navigation to funding:
60 % of Beyond Beta alumni have raised funding for their business, accumulated that is more than 173 millions. The programme cannot guarentee that the same will happen for you, however, we will do our very best to make sure you have a well-prepared pitch for possible investors. You will get all our tricks and secrets on how to make your business more interesting for the right nationals and international investors. We will also attend TechBBQ, where you get the chance to showcase your startup and meet protentional new partners and investors.
