Hannah Meiton and Fredrik Rosengren, both business coaches at Sting, moderated the live event and presented 2020 highlights from Sting world, including that, despite an otherwise gloomy year with news mostly concerning the Corona pandemic, 2020 proved to be a record-breaking year when it comes to fundraising for the Sting companies – more than 1,2 billion SEK were invested.  

During the event, investors participated in a survey and answered questions about their plans and predictions for 2021. Among other things, the survey showed positive news for startups – 39 percent of the respondents plan to invest more than in 2020, and almost half of the respondents said they the same amount as in 2020 (49 percent). Only 12 percent of the investors said they predict to invest less.
