Exit Academy vol. I

​⚡ Join Exit Academy — a closed, cohort-based programme for founders preparing for a future exit, learning directly from those who have already been through it.

🎤 Speakers:

• ​Dennis Kayser (Forecast): Built and exited a global SaaS company - sharing the early decisions that quietly determine your valuation years later.

• ​Allan Mørch (AskCody): Scaled AskCody to 500,000+ users - showing what had to change in product, pricing, and operations to turn growth into a scalable, sellable business.

• ​Christian Broendum (Managing Partner, Seed Capital): Led Planday through rapid scaling and exit to Xero - bringing an investor and operator perspective on what makes companies truly exit-ready.

​👤 Who it’s for
– Founders & CEOs of scale-ups with 20+ employees
– Executives involved in strategy, finance, or exit planning

​If you're thinking about an exit in the next 24–36 months, this is the moment to start preparing, not later in the process.

Exit Academy is designed as a continuous 3-part journey.

The same group moves through all sessions together, building trust, shared context, and more open conversations along the way.

Participation is limited to ensure relevant peer discussions.

​Date: April 16th
Time: 15:00 – 19:30
Venue: Danske Bank, Bernstorffsgade 40, 1577 København V

​Catered dinner to follow the session (18:00–19:30).

​👉🏻 What comes next:
• Session 2 focuses on running the process — due diligence, deal structuring, and negotiations.
• Session 3 focuses on closing & beyond — integration, tax & liquidity, and life after exit.
