πŸ¦„ Our story

2013: We opened our doors in Sweden, Stockholm for the first time and quickly became a central meeting point and a hub for startup people, investors and tech leaders.

2019: Our community transitioned from a co-working based community into an online community with the ambition to serve more founders, where ever they are and on their own terms.

2022: β€œSUP46” re-branded to β€œSUP” to better match who we are and match our transition from a co-working space into a online platform with a digital and international community.

Today: A growing community of ambitious startups ready to help each other grow and succeed.

Founder of Fishbrain, Stockholm
β€œI owe it to SUP as that's where Fishbrain grew in the very early phase and where I was connected to the local ecosystem after moving back from the US and not knowing that many people here. Keep up the great work!”

Founder of Unomaly, Stockholm
β€œSUP had the ability to inspire a perfect combination of performance, context, and network. From Unomaly's perspective, SUP was a strong contributing factor in our ability to hire some of the best in the industry to our team. SUP was an important component in making Unomaly's journey to a successful exit.”

β€œSUP have been extremely supportive in our early stages of the company, and also introduced us to our first investors. What we as founders find particularly helpful is the almost weekly workshops covering most topics you would need as a founder with +100 things going on at the same time”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

We look for early stage technology companies, high potential, large and scalable ambitions with great community fit. We tend to accept applicants that have launched their product/service and have some early traction indications. We'd expect you to be committed to the company and have at least one founder working full time. We are industry and business model agnostic but may reject applications from companies active in areas where we have less experience or with extensive time to market.

β€œSUP46” is an acronym for Start-Up People of Sweden (+46 is the country code of Sweden). SUP46 was re-branded to SUP back in 2022 to better resonate with our new international ambitions.

We discontinued our coworking business in 2020 to focus more on our new software platform. This enables us to serve founders and teams beyond the walls of a physical office space. Additionally, we hope that many more will benefit from our network and learnings by focusing on our online presence.

No, SUP are currently focusing on making investor connections and preparing founders for a potential fundraising process.

No, we have no structured curriculum or mandatory sessions. Nor do we take equity in companies or have limited membership times. If you’re evaluating accelerators or incubators, please check out our lists and guides to learn more and make informed decisions if and what accelerator/incubator might fit your needs.
