Stockholm Founder CommunityBuild Your Network is the always-on community for startup founders in Stockholm. Connect with founders building in gaming, music tech, fintech, SaaS, and climate tech, find mentors who've done it before, and get in front of investors actively looking at Stockholm deals.
Stockholm's startup ecosystem spans gaming, music tech, fintech, SaaS, and climate tech, supported by 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.
Build Your Network brings this community online — founders, mentors, and investors all on one platform, each declaring their intent so every connection is purposeful.
