Sting Core

Run by Sting.

Sting structures its Stockholm programme as three six-month blocks — October to March and March to September — so companies stay 6, 12 or 18 months; each block is five months of active support plus one for momentum and wrap-up. Sting takes up to a 2% warrant per block, excluding a possible SEK 600,000 from Propel Capital, made up of SEK 400,000 plus SEK 200,000. Climate, healthtech, AI and deeptech.
