More and more corporates are exploring ways to engage with the venture ecosystem – not just through direct startup investments or accelerators, but by becoming LPs in VC funds. This model can open doors to deal flow, strategic insights, and long-term partnerships, but it also requires a clear strategy, internal alignment, and the right fund fit.

In this session, we’ll hear perspectives from both sides of the table:

• VCs who are actively looking for corporate LPs
• Corporates who have already taken the leap

You’ll get inspiration, honest reflections and concrete input on how to approach the LP role – as well as the opportunity to meet a selection of funds looking to engage with corporates.

Join us for an intensive 4-hour mentorship event designed specifically for Ukrainian entrepreneurs in Denmark, while fostering international cooperation within Denmark's vibrant business ecosystem. Whether you're launching your first startup or scaling an existing business, this event combines expert knowledge on EU funding opportunities with personalized mentorship from experienced business leaders.

This program is delivered by Aalborg Institute for Development in cooperation with The European-Ukrainian Hub and financed by Danish Board of Business Development.

As part of the mentoring event, we will launch the Keys to Europe’s Money project by AMIS – A More Inclusive Society, in collaboration with Aalborg Institute for Development, Last Week in Denmark, The European-Ukrainian Hub, and InDe.
