Why did you build this platform / OS?

Short answer
Our mission is to serve startups and improve the ecosystem and this is our best way of really making a difference.

Our goal is to empower founders through access to network, training, inspiration and best practices.

Longer answer
For two main reasons listed below:

⚙️ Lack of existing solutions
We couldn’t find any services out there that were empathic enough towards entrepreneurs and their dynamic needs and challenges. Investor matchmaking platforms or collaboration tools are only catering to a fraction of the needs of founders and young businesses. First time founders needs to navigate the unknown, serial entrepreneurs needs fast access to and quality assured resource without any bullshit.
🌐 Flaws in the ecosystem
We also believe that it’s time to evolve the startup ecosystem beyond physical buildings and improve the exchange between startup people - independent of where they are. One should not have to rely on "bumping into" good people randomly. Current ecosystem is also discriminating founders just because he/she can't come to larger city or coworking space nor knows anyone from these clusters. This is especially true for non-Swedes and minority groups.

**What does private beta mean?**

StartupPeople.com is currently in version Private Beta.
Beta means that our platform is freshly built and might have some unexpected bugs while we roll it out to you and others. Thanks for having patience and for reporting bugs to hello@sup46.com.
Private means that it’s invite only. We’ll start with our closest members and partners before making it available for a bigger audience.

**What do you mean with "OS"/"operating system"?**

Operating System / OS
An operating system can be used as a metafor to explain what we are trying to build.
An operating system is the software (i.e. Windows, MacOS, and Linux) that enables your keyboard strokes translate into words that are displayed on your computer screen.
Additionally, an operating system provides a consistent user interface, a set of standards and guidelines for developers to follow when creating new applications and services. This makes it possible for a variety of different applications to work together in a smooth way, and at the same time, serve a larger user base.

We would love to become the first standardized interface between startup founders and their core needs in the ecosystem to enable healthier and faster growing companies.

What is SUP46 and SUP? Are there any difference?

We refreshed our branding end of 2022 to reflect the new us. 😊
We removed the “46” (country code of Sweden) in SUP46 and instead focus on Startup People (SUP). The original SUP46 brand will still be active in for specific purposes.

Our values, empathy for startups and passion for community building is now fueled with a modern look and inclusive ambition.
