๐Ÿฆ„ 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: โ€œSUP46โ€ re-branded to โ€œSUPโ€ 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 grow faster, inspire each other and improve competitive advantage.

    Founder of Fishbrain, Stockholm
    โ€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!โ€

    Johan Gustafsson
    Founder of Unomaly, Stockholm
    โ€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.โ€

    Co-Founder of Kudos Labs, Berlin
    โ€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 timeโ€

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    SUP46 stands for Start-Up People of Sweden (+46 being Swedenโ€™s country code). In 2022, SUP46 was rebranded to 'SUP' to ensure non-Swedish startups also feel included.

    We ceased coworking operations in 2020 to focus on our new software platform, enabling us to support founders and teams beyond a physical space. By prioritizing our online presence, we aim to expand our network, insights, and user base while enhancing our offerings.

    No, we donโ€™t. At the moment, SUP's focus is on building investor connections and helping founders prepare for fundraising opportunities.

    No, we are neither. We donโ€™t offer a structured curriculum, mandatory sessions, equity agreements, or limited membership periods. If youโ€™re considering accelerators or incubators, explore our lists and guides to find the right fit and make an informed decision.
