🦄 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: “SUP46” re-branded to “SUP” 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.

    “I 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!”

    Founder of Unomaly, Stockholm
    “SUP 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.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

    In short, it’s a startup and ecosystem-matchmaking platform.
    A "startup platform" refers to our digital space designed to support founders throughout their entrepreneurial journey. It provides access to a wide range of resources, including fundraising tools, best practice playbooks, expert webinars, and a community of like-minded founders. The platform also offers exclusive perks, discounts on essential services, and connections with investors, all aimed at helping startups grow and succeed.

    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.
