Get ready for Sting

When your application is submitted, our coaches will review it and decide whether to move you to the next step. Expect to hear back from us a couple of weeks after the application deadline.

If accepted onto one of our programs, you can receive 500 000 SEK investment from Propel Capital – Sting’s own investment company. 

Sting offers two programs: Incubate for researchers/founders with complex technical solutions (up to 18 months), and Accelerate for startups with a launched product/solution and at least two full-time employees looking to accelerate growth (4 months).

Yes, Sting Startup Academy is 100% free and open to anyone. Right now we have limited seats though, so you may be put on a waiting list until new seats open up. In order to get accepted to any of Sting's regular programs, you have to be based in Stockholm, Sweden.

We propel you towards your vision for the future by providing a lifelong support ecosystem that delivers more value and opens more doors than any other.

Test Drive is a series of workshops for founders with an idea or a startup that are not quite ready to apply for our official startup programs yet. Test Drive runs 1-2 times a year and is usually sector-specific. For example, the past we’ve ran test drives focused on climate and energy, deeptech, healthtech and blockchain innovations.
