 WHAT YOU NEED TO JOIN THE KITCHEN
To become a part of The Kitchen you need an idea – but what qualifies as an idea?
At The Kitchen, no ideas are too small, too big, or undercooked. If you’ve spotted a problem you want to solve, have research with commercial potential or a product/service you want to develop, then that is already a start!

When should you join?
As soon as you have an idea, sign up for Founder’s Entry! Don’t wait until everything is fully baked. No matter where you are on the journey, we are here to support you.

Why join early?
Because our community and experts can guide you through shaping and validating your idea – no matter how loose it may be right now. Our workshops and advisory service can help you build and grow your business.

As a member of The Kitchen, we expect you to take active part in our community, be the initiator of your project and take responsibility for your own process.
You or one from your founding team must be a researcher, student, or an employee at Aarhus University.

Join Gin & Tech at INCUBA for an engaging evening where early-stage startups present their ideas to a panel of mentors, investors, corporates, and specialists. The event kicks off with a focused pitching session, followed by G&Ts and informal networking.

ABOUT THE EVENT

Co-founder Nights is a curated gathering for people who think like founders – but haven’t yet found the right project or the right people to build it with. It’s part chemistry test, part conversation starter.

​We bring together experienced profiles – from ex-founders and early startup employees to corporate talents itching to break free. Everyone in the room is handpicked for their potential to co-found something meaningful.

​Two early-stage spinouts will be in the room, both looking for a commercial co-founder. But this night isn’t just about them. It’s about everyone else too. The chance to meet, talk, and see what happens when smart, ambitious people collide.
