As to be eligible for BRAVE!, the startup must be a minority-led venture. We accept startups with at least 50% founders with an ethnic minority background.
Our goal is to have a gender-balanced program.

From the 31st of August to the 18th of September, we will open up the applications on our website. Interested startups can fill out the application form and provide us with all the required information. After the deadline, we will select the participants and will inform about the application status by the end of Week 38 and will take care of further onboarding practicalities afterwards.

If you are accepted into the program you have to pay a small participation and commitment fee of 500 dkk. It is free to create a campaign on the COOP Crowdfunding platform and you only pay a fee if your project achieves or exceeds its goal. Further information can be found here.

Yes, if you have a minority background you are entitled to take part. The program is also open for founders born in Europe and other countries – as long as you live and work in Denmark/Nordic region

We are looking for founders within Pre-Seed and Seed stages. Which means that you’ve identified a clear market opportunity and path to market with your product. Additionally, probably you’ve built or are currently building an MVP. However, we are happy to support startups that have made more progress and that are registered as companies and help fast-track your success.  

We are sector agnostic, our main focus is the IMPACT. But we do have a focus on technology. So if you’re using technology and you’re solving a big societal or environmental problem, you can apply.

Your startup must be registered in Denmark.
