Editorial
Let’s build a stronger
ecosystem together!

O
nce upon a time, building a
tech startup was a wild and
lonely adventure only few,
brave entrepreneurs dared
embark on. However, times have changed. Drastically.
Today, the number of successful startups
and scaleups from Denmark is booming.
Communities are forming all over the
country, and the number of stakeholders
and initiatives surrounding the ecosystem and supporting the wild growth is
amazing. In a few decades, the startup
ecosystem has grown from somewhat of a
curiosity to its own, to a flourishing part
of the Danish business community.
While the explosive growth and
ever-changing nature of the ecosystem is
what makes it so amazing to be a part of,
it also makes it a jungle to navigate for
both newcomers, experienced serial-entrepreneurs and ambitious stakeholders.
It is extremely complicated and resource-intensive to fully understand the
dynamics and find your way around.
In order to make the ecosystem more
accessible, Techsavvy Media and Heyfunding joined forces. And we are happy to
finally present this first edition of “The
Guide - A comprehensive overview of the
Danish startup ecosystem”. A guide built
on top of Heyfundings mapping of the
startup ecosystem and Techsavvys editorial and startup-centric expertise.

drive. They make things happen, but that
does not mean entrepreneurs have to
know and do everything by themselves.
