Start Out

Test Drive

Sting Test Drive is a hands-on training program for teams with early-stage ideas or startups who would like support to develop their concepts, sharpen their business models and start growing their businesses. You will test and refine your idea, drive proofs of concepts, get meaningful critiques and help to focus your business.

What others say about us

Test Drive was the trigger that made me decide I wanted to build a company. I learned a systematic method on how to iteratively assess my business ideas − starting by 'getting out of the building'.
Sebastian Haglund El Gaidi, Greenlytics

Theory mixed with practice

During four evening workshops, you will gain new knowledge in business-critical areas such as business models, sales strategies, financing options, leadership and much more.

Experienced entrepreneurs and experts inspire and help you stake out a direction for your startup. Between workshops, you will do work on your own and get some individual coaching. In the final workshop, all teams present their startups and ”Best pitch” is selected.

The program is based on Business Model Canvas, a strategic template for developing business models. It is a popular tool used by entrepreneurs across the world.
