Aarhus' new hub for investors and growth-ready startups

Here, we create the framework for capital and talent to come together in a strong community and networking environment.

The hub brings investors and start-ups together under one roof. With structured programmes, curated matchmaking activities and an engaged community.

This provides:

  • Investors with access to qualified cases
  • Start-ups with access to capital, knowledge and the right connections

INCUBA Next Level

CAPITAL. COMPETENCIES. COMMUNITY.

The framework for a strong community and network environment

Next Level brings together capital, expertise and community in a strong network environment where the right connections can be made. With structured programmes, curated matchmaking activities and an active community, start-ups gain access to capital, knowledge and advice, while investors gain access to qualified cases.

  • Founder Hub – for start-ups on their way to the next growth leap. Here, founders are offered access to an active mentor and advisor network and a framework that strengthens development and scaling. 
  • Investor Hub – an exclusive members' environment with offices and a lounge area where investors can work, network and meet informally with founders. 

With Next Level, INCUBA is creating a framework for capital and talent to meet – and for Aarhus to take another step towards becoming one of Denmark's strongest investor environments.

A community makes all the difference as a solo founder

“As a solo founder, it’s important to have a place where you can come in and say good morning. The house is full of people, investors and companies who have been through the whole journey – and that makes a difference. It's about creating a culture where we don't just sit with our noses buried in our computers, but use each other's networks and talk to each other."

- Mikkel Eskesen, Founder & CEO, StreamWerk

Community makes the journey easier

‘Being self-employed can be a lonely business, but at INCUBA I find a community, sparring partners and knowledge that make the journey both smoother and more enjoyable.’

- Matilde Fevre, Co-founder & CEO, LevitaCare

It is important to be surrounded by like-minded founders

'It means a lot to have someone to bounce ideas off – to be able to get something back, but also to pass something on to others. It’s important for me to be part of an environment and be surrounded by like-minded founders.'

- Emil Zanchetta Ulsig, CEO and founder of QVersion

Venture fund of DKK 600 million becomes part of INCUBA Next Level

With the establishment of Delphinus Venture Capital, DKK 600 million has been injected into research-based start-ups sprouting up in Aarhus and the rest of Denmark.

The fund was established by Aarhus University Research Foundation, HEARTLAND, Norlys and Salling Group, and with CEO Mathias Brink Lorenz at the helm, the ambition is clear: to follow companies all the way from their initial ideas to international scaling.

Investor Meetup at INCUBA

Welcome to Investor Meetup, an exclusive meeting for invited investors only, designed to promote informal knowledge sharing and networking.

The goal is to strengthen Aarhus as a leading investor city by facilitating meaningful conversations and learning among investors.

For the first meeting we had crowdfunding, investment experiences from Anyhow, from serial entrepreneurship to investment, Q&A and of course lots of networking on the programme. Watch a video from the meeting here.
