At the end of June, ArcticStartup
will be organising an ArcticEvening in Copenhagen, Denmark. The
date is set so that it is in the eve of the fabulous reboot conference.
We have previously lined up a panel
for our events, but since there is so much untapped startup
potential in Copenhagen, we decided to set aside the whole evening
for startup pitches. So if you’re a startup and would like
to receive Nordic wide coverage for your startup – apply for
a slot in the evening. Have a look at the guidelines for applying below.
If you haven’t been to ArcticEvenings before, we suggest
you take a look at this video. The events are laid
back and we’ve received a lot of compliments from
organising these in other Nordic cities and now it’s
time for Copenhagen.
Venue
The venue for the event is the La
Oficina located at Suomisvej
4. The event will begin at 6.30pm.
How do I sign up?
The tickets will be available on the
16th of June, 9am Danish time (UTC+2). Without exceptions, the
tickets have ran out extremely fast, so make sure you are here to
get your ticket. Make sure you’ll show up if you reserve a
ticket, or you’ll end up on our black list which means
there’s no coming to our events in the future. We are able
to host the event free of charge for participants due to our
wonderful sponsors. Our sponsors are presented below.
Company pitches
In Copenhagen we have reserved the
floor purely for startup pitches. If you would like to come and
present your company – drop us an e-mail at info (at)
arcticstartup.com and with a few sentences explain what you are
doing, in what stage your company is at and why you should be
chosen to present at the event. Unfortunately we can’t
guarantee everyone a time slot to present (even though we do our
best to fit everyone in), so we will make sure those with the best
effort get a chance. Deadline for applications is 18th of June.
We will let you know by 20th June.
Sponsors
Our event is made possible by our
Sponsors. Do take time to get to know them – they are one of
the most interesting organisations in the industry. We hand pick
our sponsors to bring value to the evenings – these guys are
truly worth your time.
