KRING is an institutional co-founder with 18 years of experience building digital ventures. Our venture building approach and core USPs mitigate the most common causes of failures for start-ups: 

Product/market fit and GTM strategy

• We de-risk the venture significantly through methodology and idea validation. Our structured Speedbooting ® methodology with pretotyping enables validation of business models and GTM strategies

Network and Partnerships

• We bring resources and expertise as well as access to corporate partners. KRINGs valuable network of corporates and advisors allows for improved business model and go-to-market strategy, innovation, and execution

Team and HR

• We help fill team gaps (co-founders, early employees). 

Fundraising

• We do multi-round financing so you can focus on operating. As co-founder and investor, we support fundraising efforts through an extensive network of investors and our own fund 

In addition, we de-risk your personal finances: 

• We cover incubation costs of experimentation/venture building team (non-convertible loan) 
• You earn a start-up salary (in line with market) 
• You keep a substantial part of your cap table (depending on stage, IP, etc.)

• You have an idea in the Digital Health space (specifically in our core areas of early detection, functional medicine, chronic disease identification/ management/ reversal, women health) or Clean Energy space
• Either you are pre-incorporation or recently incorporated (but no substantial external investment); may or may not have product-market fit.
• You see the synergistic value of joining forces with an institutional co-founder (KRING) beyond just financial investment (validation and scaling methodology, capabilities/talent gaps, corporate network)

Preferable experience: 

• Building and leading teams from scratch 
• +7 years of work experience 
• Preferably with passion and deep understanding (e.g. through personal experience) for subject area (e.g. health) or functional area (e.g. operations) 

Mindset and Values: 

• Entrepreneurial instincts: risk-taker, proactive and hands-on 
• Openness and reflectiveness to learn and change perspective when needed: high comfort with ambiguity 
• 0 to 1 mindset 
• Structured thinking 
• Committed to Zebra/path to profitability journey 
• Founder mentality with skin in the game 

Jane Kudsk, Co-Founder in Triba Health 

I’m looking forward to have a team around me and no longer be a solo-entrepreneur together with all the strong capabilities of KRING and the support to build something really big and meaningful. See interview with Jane here (in Danish) 

• Starts with a 2 – 3 days sprint workshop to engage, acquaint, dismantle, re-assemble your idea/project. No commitments or strings attached 
• Plan for Validation and/or Start Small phase. Terms for engagement agreed. 
• Execution of 2 – 6 months Validation and/or Start Small phase dependent on maturity of your idea/project incl. potential small cash investment. Team from KRING drives and supports key activities 
• Pre-seed investment decision from our IC (Investment Committee). 
• Potentially additional co-founders recruited for the core team.
