​Curious about what it’s really like to work in a startup? 👀

​​Join us on May 13th from 14:00-20:00 for Tour de Startup - an afternoon where we take you on a ride through some of Aarhus’ most exciting startups and funds.

​​Together with a small group of engaged students, we’ll visit 3-4 selected companies - one stage at a time - and get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how they actually work - from culture and day-to-day tasks to growth, decision-making, and career paths.

​​This is not a typical event. It’s an opportunity to step inside real companies, ask questions along the route, and connect with the people building them.

​Throughout the tour, we’ll keep you fueled with snacks and drinks - and we’ll cross the finish line with a shared dinner and networking session together with representatives from the participating companies

​​🏢 Companies you’ll meet

​​🚀 Formalize
A fast-growing SaaS company helping businesses manage compliance and risk — with a strong focus on scaling internationally.

​During the visit, you’ll meet Lauritz Bundgaard Grost a master’s student at Aarhus BSS, working part-time at Formalize - and a previous member of BSS Startup.

​Laurits will share his journey from student to working in a fast-growing startup, giving you a relatable and honest perspective on what it’s actually like to take a less traditional career path.

​You’ll also get insight into how Formalize operates as a scaling tech company, how teams work in a high-growth environment, and what challenges come with expanding into new markets.

​​💡 The Kitchen - Aarhus university
A hub for entrepreneurship at Aarhus University, supporting students and early-stage founders in building and developing their ideas.

​At The Kitchen, you’ll get insight into how the local startup ecosystem is supported from the ground up - from idea to execution - and how students can get involved, explore entrepreneurship, and take their first steps into building something of their own.

​📈 Founderment
Representing Founderment, you’ll meet Anders Boelskifte Mogensen, founder of Founderment and co-founder of Guest (later acquired by Airbnb).

​Anders will share his perspective from both sides of the table - as a founder and now as an investor - giving you unique insights into how startups are built, scaled, and backed.

​You’ll get a deeper understanding of what investors look for in founding teams, what makes a startup stand out, and how you can position yourself on the radar of VCs — whether as a future founder or part of a startup.

​🌟 Cernel
An ambitious startup building the next generation of ecommerce infrastructure through AI-powered agents.

​Cernel is developing an advanced agent framework that can analyse data, make decisions, and automate complex workflows across systems - helping ecommerce teams improve performance.

​During the visit, you’ll get insight into how AI is being applied in real-world business settings, how products are built, and what it takes to develop scalable infrastructure in a fast-moving tech space.
