An accelerator program as it should be

What our alumni say:
"What really surprised me about Beyond Beta is the detail that they go into and the personal relationships that you build with the mentors. They are truly interested in that your startup becomes a success." (Christian Scheuer, Founder of SoundFlow)"There were many eye-opening moments. We found out how important it is, for us to really scale our company, to go towards another business model. That is a moment that we might have gotten to eventually but we reached that point way faster." (Amalie Lyngbo Quist, Co-founder of Natureventyr)
What is Beyond Beta?
Beyond Beta is Denmark’s top-tier startup program.We offer an open-for-all pre-accelerator, industry-specific incubation programs, and a core accelerator program. We do not believe in one-size-fits-all startup programs, or that essential resources should be reserved for a lucky few. That is why we have multiple entry points and offer hands-on support across the full startup journey from idea validation, gaining early traction, and getting ready to scale.
Beyond Beta was founded in the midst of COVID19 by three key stakeholders in the Danish startup ecosystem: Accelerace, the Danish Design Center, and the Danish Business Hubs. In 2022, 14 industry-specific clusters joined forces with the three founding partner organizations to continue building Denmark’s most tailored all-in-one startup program.
