Land a strategy that actually makes sense — and moves you forward.

Whether you're just starting out, scaling up, or feeling stuck in complexity, this 2-day strategy workshop is designed to help you get unstuck and aligned.

Join a diverse group of founders, teams, and change-makers in a hands-on journey to:

✅ A clarified direction for your startup or project
✅ Tools for co-creating strategy with your team
✅ A structured, human-centered method to prioritize & decide
✅ Deeper alignment between vision and action
✅ Peer learning from other founders in the community
✅ A copy of Thryving Strategy: A Human-Centered Guide to Strategic Clarity, Co-Creation & Adaptive Leadership

You can join solo or with your co-founders. The process works even if your strategy is “a mess” right now. Expect learning, co-creation, and fresh energy to move forward.

Come alone or with your team. You’ll leave with a strategy you can actually use.

Want to Talk About Your Startup?

‍
At PIT STOP Entrepreneur Advisory, you’ll find answers to all your questions. We’ve invited a range of private advisors, giving you the opportunity to receive free, no-obligation guidance.

We host our popular and well-attended PIT STOP advisory sessions approximately every two weeks – and you're welcome to join as often as you'd like! No registration is required thanks to our unique pop-up concept – just show up and take a seat in line.

What kind of advice can you get?

• Legal
• Accounting
• Patents
• Digital marketing
• Unemployment insurance funds (A-kasse)
• Job center / recruitment
• Business development

Where?
The event always takes place at INCUBA, Åbogade 15, Aarhus N. You’ll be greeted by a staff member who will explain how it works and help you find the right advisor.

How does it work?
Just show up on the scheduled day – no sign-up needed. In the waiting area, you’ll see tables with signs like “Accountant.” If you'd like to speak with that advisor, simply queue at the table and wait to be shown into the room.

And why not use the wait time to network with other entrepreneurs? You might find someone to collaborate with among the other participants.

When it’s your turn, you’ll get 15 minutes with your chosen advisor, so we recommend preparing your questions in advance. You're also welcome to visit multiple advisors during the same evening if time allows.

We look forward to welcoming you!
