Nothing resonating yet? If you are chasing strategic problems with long-term impact that don't generate revenue, maybe philanthropic capital is the path for your idea. Talking to funds early and building relationships within the funds will help get your project off the ground.
After three weeks training like a full-time triathlete as a scientist who actually just left academia, I have the update everyone is waiting for - THE STATS!
Swim: 28 km, 9 hrs
Bike: 1000 km, 46.5 hrs
Run: 23 km, 2.5 hrs
An exercise in control, patience, and progression. Highly recommend Malaga!
Training update from your local scientist-turned-athlete: I got sick the day before we left for Spain, so the first days have been focused on enjoying the sun and recovery.
Slowly starting structured training again: 70.3 efforts on the bike and a threshold swim

A great agenda for today at KU Lighthouse, covering all pathways for funding startups in Denmark, from EU and national grants to pre-seed investments. Looking forward!
