Time to Raise by Techarena Accelerator Welcomes Fall 2024 Global Cohort of Female-Led Startups

Time to Raise by Techarena is proud to announce its Fall 2024 cohort 6, featuring 11 promising startups. For the first time, the program includes participants from outside the Nordic region, with startups from Mexico and the United States joining the program, along with US-based and European investors and mentors, marking a significant expansion of its global network.

This cohort includes startups in climate tech, deep tech, premium furniture, and music, all well-positioned to transform their industries. They are, for example, advancing sustainable energy solutions and enhancing forest management practices in climate tech; leveraging AI for optimized workflows and improved data analysis in deep tech; giving new life to premium furniture, and redefining the connection between artists and audiences to enrich the creative experience in music.

“The startups we’ve selected collectively are at the forefront of change. They reflect the dynamic spirit of entrepreneurship, effectively addressing the critical challenges we face today,” said Mikaela Larsell Ayesa, Director of Time to Raise and Head of Investor Relations at Techarena Group, “with the right support and funding, we believe they will achieve a significant impact.”
