Years Active: 2018 – present
FoodTrack by Maersk is an intensive one-month program for selected startups to run for an equity investment from Maersk Growth, the venturing arm of A.P. Moller – Maersk. The Danish transport and logistics company is looking for startups with solutions to reduce food losses along the supply chain. During the equity-free program, Maersk Growth is ready to leverage the company’s expertise, networks and brands for the startups’ growth. The Rockstart mentors and trainers provide the necessary support to help the startups building their investment case presented on the final day of the program: Demo Day.
The first edition of FoodTrack ran in July 2018 with 10 startups, and the second edition took place in December 2018 with 7 startups participating. After these successes, a third edition is scheduled to take place in the course of 2019.
“Rockstart is a solid partner; our collaboration provided us the right entrance into the world of startups. Rockstart designed a programme that allowed us to learn, experiment and successfully collaborate with startups. The FoodTrack programme has exceeded our expectations.”
