The New Nordics Challengers Program by Tenity and Copenhagen Fintech kicked off this week in Tallinn with the 10 pre-seed startups selected from over 200 applications.
This groundbreaking pre-seed fintech program is designed to propel Nordic and Baltic startups onto the global stage, offering unprecedented opportunities for growth and innovation in the financial services sector.
Uve Poom, Head of Operations at Tenity Tallinn, says “The key value of acceleration programs is access to the right people, from mentors and coaches to customers and investors. With that in mind, the combined networks of Tenity and Copenhagen Fintech - and our community partners SEB Bank and TGS Baltic - can offer exceptional value to the startups joining this program.”
During the 4-month rigorous program, the startups will receive training, coaching, and mentoring from Tenity’s experienced team of experts. From the end of August to the first week of December 2024, the cohort will embark on four action-packed masterclass weeks, all leading up to an electrifying public demo day, designed to maximise networking on investor-readiness. This powerhouse program dives deep into essential topics: refining value proposition, mastering prototyping, nailing fundraising and structure, conquering marketing and sales, achieving product-market-fit, and perfecting your pitch.
Andrei Anghel, Head of Programs Copenhagen Fintech, adds “New Nordic Challengers brings Copenhagen Fintech and Tenity’s capabilities and resources into a new and exciting program aimed at supporting and connecting Nordic and Baltic early stage fintechs with market and investment opportunities across Europe. The fintechs have already shown a lot of potential in the sourcing phase, and we are now excited to move forward by supporting the founders in reaching some exciting milestones."
