FGC - Thought Leadership Academy
Thought Leadership Academy is coming to SMIL!
Founders Growth Club brings together the next generation of unicorn builders with founders and leaders who have already scaled companies to global success.
In this special 1-hour closed-door session at Aarhus SMIL, Danish startup founders will gain firsthand insights through open conversation and Q&A on the realities of scaling, from fundraising and leadership to international expansion.
Program:
What does it really take to scale a European tech company from Aarhus?
Jakob Lilholm, co-founder of Formalize, has been on that journey. From early days to a €30M raise and international expansion, he has experienced the shifts that come with growing beyond startup stage.
At this academy, he shares the story behind the growth, the decisions that mattered, and what scaling actually looks like in practice.
15:30: Welcome to Founders Growth Club by Alexander Tolstrup.
15:35: Jakob’s journey of scaling a European tech company
16:30: After Hour drinks, snacks and music outside (or inside if the weather demands it).
17:30: Dinner (the Thought Leadership Academy venue is located right next to the dinner spot).
Who is FGC?
At Founders Growth Club we empower founders to scale up smarter, by connecting them to a network of experienced founders with the practical guidance on the unknowns ahead.
We take pride in supporting the Danish scale-up scene, and helping shape & drive a prosperous future for Denmark and it’s companies.
Our growth advisors have travelled down the wrong roads, to learn the right lessons. With knowledge of what lies ahead, we empower founders with practical advice - gained from first-hand experience - to guide them past today’s challenges, towards global success.
Because, when time is precious, it’s those who spend it wisely, that scale effectively. We are your shortcut to scale faster, and a direct line to the future.
