#Milestone We are proud to share that 2 weeks ago, we officially graduated from the #GreenUP accelerator program! 🎓🥳 We can’t believe that it’s been 20 months since our team joined the GreenUP accelerator program at DTU Science Park in May 2022. When we started, we had no idea what to expect and what happened just completely exceeded all our expectations. Not only did we get support through #funding and access to #office space, but most importantly, we became part of an amazing DTU Science Park Startups and a community full of #advisors who worked with us along the way on the biggest challenges we were facing on our growth journey. 🚀 We would like to give a big shout out to the awesome DTU Science Park team and especially Kristine Sylvest Brinks who would go above and beyond to make sure all the companies in the program feel heard and supported. 💚 PS: GreenUP is opening its next cohort so if you are a climate/sustainability-focused startup, definitely check it out. 🙌🌍 #TemptyFoods #FoodInnovation #Gastronomy #Sustainability #DanishStartup #alternativeproteins #fungifood #TEMPTY #mycoprotein #foodinnovation #GreenUP #DTUSciencePark #AcceleratorSuccess #StartupJourney #ThankYouGreenUP
