On the May 8, STING's Innovation & Technology Award will be given to the top technology companies that apply to the competition. The winners will get a nice 150,000 SEK (€16,000) in pricemoney, but more importantly the winner will be direct qualified to the final of this years Seedcamp. Last year I was lucky to be among the winners, and I have nothing but good things to say about the experience.

When working in a venture capital financed company and trying to get stuff going really fast really early, the most important thing to have is a good network of contacts. Once you know the right person at the right company, things get way easier. Seedcamp is about giving you the opportunity to create such a network, whether you win or not.

So if you are a Swedish company I strongly recommend applying to both STING's competition, but also to Seedcamp directly.
