Founder-in-Residence

Spend 12 weeks building your company from our office.

Culminating in a potential investment.

No fees, no equity upfront. You keep running your company. At the end of 12 weeks, we make an investment decision. Either way, you leave with a stronger business.

If we invest

CAPITAL Equity investment
STRUCTURE Negotiated per partnership
WHAT KRING BRINGS Capital + operational team

We invest in companies we believe in. Terms are always negotiated individually and reflect the stage, needs, and ambitions of your company. IP stays with you at all times.

After investment — an operational team embedded in your company

Once we invest, you get fractional access to KRING's growth, tech, and finance teams. This is named people who learn your business, sit in your meetings, and execute alongside you. Before an investment, we agree on the level and depth of services deployed. Pricing per service: 10-25K DKK/month. Pricing covers operational cost, not profit. Find it cheaper elsewhere? Go for it.

Growth

Building your B2B outbound motion, running paid acquisition tests on Meta/Google, designing the conversion funnel, helping you close the first paying customers.

10-25K DKK / month

Tech

Reviewing your stack, building AI integrations into the product, setting up data infrastructure, sparring on architecture decisions before they become expensive.

10-25K DKK / month

Finance

Building the financial model, preparing the next fundraise, setting up reporting cadence, sparring on unit economics and runway calls.

10-25K DKK / month

Why this works for founders

A fraction of market cost

Growth, tech, and finance operators for less than one senior hire.

Capital efficient

Your runway goes further when the team is already in.

Roadblocks removed

Playbooks from 12 portfolio startups, warm intros, and a desk to build from.
