7 000+ unique visitors weekly on 1 year old TheHub.se

TheHub.se, launched one year ago, sees more than 7 000 unique visitors on a weekly basis. Regardless of where Swedish entrepreneurs operate, TheHub.se helps them recruit talent, get in contact with investors and find smart tools and templates.

TheHub.se is a digital platform operated by Danske Bank and SUP46 to make it easier for startups to grow and reach their goals. The platform is continuously developed together with the users as new needs are identified.

TheHub was launched in 2015 in Denmark by Danske Bank and Rainmaking, and is today the largest recruitment and investment platform for startups in Denmark. The Swedish platform grows at the same pace.

– The aim with TheHub.se is to create a platform for all Swedish startups, so to see that we have users from all the way from Umeå down to Lund is great. In addition, the fact that international startups from countries such as Germany, Netherlands and Norway, when expanding to Sweden, are using TheHub.se to build their teams here is truly great. This proves both the attraction and status that the Swedish startup scene has but also that we have succeeded in positioning TheHub.se as the natural platform for startups when recruiting talent. I think this comes down to our close dialogue with the users and our focus on building something that really delivers value, says Daniel Sonesson CEO of SUP46.

– Today it is more important than ever to work together. We live in a world of constantly change. Solutions and products created yesterday will not work today. I am convinced that in order to be able to think innovatively, we must be open, passionate and inconvenient. You have to dare to be open to new smart solutions that can occur in the most unexpected places and moments. My strategy is to be open to the unexpected and constantly challenge old habits. By listening and co-create with our users, we’ve managed match their demand on TheHub.se, says Berit Behring CEO Danske Bank
