Stockholm FoundersBuild Your Network surfaces startup founders in Stockholm who are actively building — filtered by what they're working on, what skills they need, and how close they are to you. No cold email, no noise.
Stockholm has a growing community of startup founders across gaming, music tech, fintech, SaaS, and climate tech. Key institutions supporting them include EQT Ventures, Creandum, Spotify ecosystem, KTH Royal Institute, and STING incubator. Stockholm is Europe's unicorn factory — producing more unicorns per capita than any city outside Silicon Valley. Spotify, Klarna, Mojang, King, and iZettle all originated here. The city's world-class engineering education (KTH, Chalmers), strong social safety net that enables risk-taking, and a culture of design-led product thinking have created a startup ecosystem that consistently punches far above its weight.
On Build Your Network, founders in Stockholm list their venture, their skills, and their current intent — whether they're looking for a co-founder, a mentor, or their first investor. You see exactly who is building what, before you send the first message.
