Are you in need of external funding to develop your startup?

Many entrepreneurs reach a point where they need more than time and commitment, they need capital to take the next step. Do you have an innovative solution that needs testing, validation or further development? Then Dalarna Science Park could be the right partner for you.
We help startups find the right type of capital for their business idea, prepare for meetings with investors and financiers, and explore opportunities for grants, checks and verification funds.
The path to finance starts with the right support
Attracting capital is not just about money. It requires preparation, strategy and a strong network. With us, you get guidance from experienced business coaches, access to investor networks focused on startups, and knowledge about seed capital, equity, loans and different types of government and regional support.
Verification tools - for those who need to test and validate
Verification funding is a financial support with funding from Vinnova, which aims to reduce uncertainty in the early stages of a startup's development. The support can be used to validate the business idea, market, team or strategy with the help of external expertise. Dalarna Science Park is one of the few selected incubators in Sweden to offer this support.
Please note: Verification funds can only be applied for by startups admitted to Dalarna Science Park's incubator.
Want to know more about how you can become part of the incubator and access these funds? Book a first meeting with us, free of charge.
Three tips from the coach when traveling capital
1. clarify the problem you are solving
Investors invest in solutions to real problems. Be concrete, what is the problem, who has it, and why is it urgent?
2. build relationships before you need money
Start building investor networks early. The capital journey will be easier if you have already established trust and understanding of your business idea.
3. Keep track of your strategy, not just your pitch
A strong pitch is important, but investors want to see that you have a well-thought-out strategy for market, revenue and scalability.
