Do we need to have our tech inhouse?
If technology is the core of your business, having your tech team in-house is essential. If technology is primarily a tool to solve a problem, outsourcing development can be an option to extend capacity—though it comes with some risks.
How can I nominate a startup for your programs?
You can refer a startup by emailing our team or using any nomination form available throughout the year. Warm intros from alumni, investors, and partners are always welcome.
Where can I find upcoming events?
Most of our events are currently invite-only and not listed publicly. However, we regularly share highlights and information about select upcoming events on our LinkedIn page and through our newsletter. To stay in the loop, make sure to follow us on LinkedIn and subscribe to our newsletter at sting.co/newsroom.
What kind of coaching and support will I get?
Each startup gets a dedicated Sting coach. In addition, you’ll access experts in sales, fundraising, product development, go-to-market, and team building.
Do I need to be based in Stockholm?
We welcome startups from across Sweden, but participation in our programs typically requires a physical presence in Stockholm during key parts of the program.
What is Sting Test Drive?
Test Drive is a series of workshops for founders with an idea or a startup that are not quite ready to apply for our official startup programs yet. Test Drive runs 1-2 times a year and is usually sector-specific. For example, the past we’ve ran test drives focused on Climate and Energy, DeepTech, HealthTech and Blockchain innovations.
