International scaling expertise for accelerator programmes
Early international thinking changes outcomes.
Founders need practical tools – not theory.
The challenge
Accelerator participants often:
Focus locally instead of globally
Lack clarity on international fundraising
Expand without a structured commercial strategy
International growth and international market expansion are more than pretty slides – it’s experiences and insights shared by founders who have already done it.
How we work
This is the process we will guide you through.
Choose the right programme track
We help define whether the programme should focus on international fundraising or international commercial scaling — based on the founders’ stage, needs, and growth ambitions.
Deliver focused founder webinars
We run short, practical webinars that give founders a clear introduction to the chosen subject and the key decisions ahead.
Turn insight into action
Through half-day workshops, we help founders apply the frameworks directly to their own companies, markets, and commercial challenges.
Bring market access into the room
We execute physical events with a specific market focus on Germany, the UK, or the US — connecting founders with relevant insights, networks, and opportunities.
Support selected founders 1-to-1
We provide tailored advisory to selected founders, helping them sharpen their strategy, prepare for key conversations, and move faster on international growth.
FOUNDER story
"We had validated our technology but needed a clear path to our first commercial customers. Canute helped us clarify the buyer journey and sharpen our go-to-market strategy."

Why Canute by Thursday
