CBS also runs the CBS Startup Accelerator, a program that supports student startups in their early stages through workshops, mentorship, and office space.

A significant success story to emerge from CBS is GoMore, a car-sharing startup. The founders of GoMore, Matias Møl Dalsgaard and Sune Theodorsen, were both former students of CBS. The business has found tremendous success and has expanded beyond Denmark's borders into several other European countries.

Trustpilot is another notable startup founded by am alumnus of CBS, Peter Mühlmann. Trustpilot is one of the world’s most powerful review platforms, with their site reaching millions of consumers across the globe. The success of Trustpilot has contributed to CBS's reputation as a nurturing ground for startups.

Besides founders, CBS alumni have also made their mark in the Venture Capital landscape. One such notable individual is Niels Vejrup Carlsen, who works at SEED Capital, one of Denmark's biggest venture capital funds. He is a prominent figure in the Nordic startup ecosystem.
