Capital raising, public funding and commercial scaling
From securing public grants and non-dilutive funding to raising equity and expanding into new international markets – we build the capital strategy and commercial engine that allow ambitious founders to scale globally. We are former founders ourselves.
We know what it takes to raise capital, build commercial engines and scale internationally – because we’ve done it.
FOUNDER story
“Canute supported us throughout the entire fundraising process and also helped make our seed round international. In addition to the many warm introductions, their guidance was particularly valuable in structuring a built-in secondary component in the round.”
Anders Holm Jørgensen
Founder & CEO, Proprty.ai
Scaling internationally is not one decision
It is a sequence of the right decisions made at the right time.
At Canute by Thursday, founders typically work with us across three stages:
Raise capital
Secure non-dilutive funding and raise equity from the right international investors.
Win your home market
Define your Ideal Client Profile, master your buyer journey and build a commercial engine that converts predictably.

Select the right next market, establish the right setup and scale with focus - not guesswork.
