Yesterday, on a sunny Sunday afternoon, a group of startup people and investors gathered to the new premises of Startup Hub SUP46 in the central Stockholm for a demo day. It showcased post-seed startups from the latest 500 Nordics Distro Dojo program batch and from SUP46.
Sean Percival, 500 Nordics General Partner who recently announced his departure from 500 Startups, did one of his last duties for the company by hosting the session. 500 Startups co-founder Dave McClure was also present and thanked Sean and Stina Liland Nysæther, the program manager, for their work. Dave also mentioned about the open position to fill the gap Sean’s departure leaves. They are looking for some Viking blood, so if you feel you are the right person, go ahead and apply!
