I help early-stage startups raise funding so you can stay focused on building.
Payment by success fee only. No funding, no fee.
Building your product, talking to your customers and growing your company should be your focus. Finding the capital to fund it is mine. I help with everything from your first grant applications to your pre-seed round, so you can focus on what matters — building.
I find the Danish grants and programmes that fit your company and put together a plan for what to pursue and when.
I handle the applications, from writing and project planning to budgets, deadlines and paperwork. You bring the technical knowledge; I put the case together.
When you’re ready for investors, I help sharpen the investment case, build your pitch deck and financial model, and manage the fundraising process.
No funding, no fee. I work on founder-friendly terms: you only pay when funding is secured. As a founder myself, I know how important it is to keep costs down in the early days.

I map your funding needs, runway and milestones, then build a practical strategy for which grants and investors to pursue and when.
From identifying the right programmes to writing applications, budgets and project plans, I manage the process through submission and follow-up.
When you’re ready for investors, I sharpen the investment case, create the pitch deck and financial model, build the pipeline and manage the pre-seed process.
I provide hands-on operational support across financial planning, grant administration, investor reporting and the day-to-day work that keeps the company moving.
I work in focused stages with clear goals and decision points. Start with the stage you need, or bring me in across the full journey. Either way, you know what comes next and who owns it.
I’m Mikkel. I’ve secured grants, built investor pipelines and led early-stage fundraising from both sides of the table. I’ve done it as a founder and as Director of Fundraising & Operations at LogiScan. I help technical founders navigate the work because I’ve had to navigate it myself.
