Our Charlotte Ekelund is on fire 🔥 She is all about introducing, matchmaking, and creating connections. With her at the helm, our companies (current and alumni) are well taken care of! She is running laps around TECHARENA, so get your running shoes on and see if you can catch her!
Sting, "the OG accelerator & incubator in Stockholm", has for 23 years built up a portfolio with 299 alive Sting companies. My role at Sting is partly to matchmake investors & founders. 🎉😭 Last year, I had spent a lot of time with Petra Szeszula, PhD and Robin Pronk, PhD prior to TECHARENA. When they won the on stage pitch challenge, I started crying out of happiness. This week, it's time for the 2025 edition. And of course, we will have loads of exciting Sting (alumni) companies represented! Below a selection of them (my descriptions sorry, correct me!) & whom to ping if you're there - and stay tuned for more!
