Swedish web startups
Since I pretty often speak with people about the success of Swedish web startups even on an international scale, a list of some players I could refer to would come handy. So now I am creating this list.
The criteria is that it must be web tools or apps with at least some kind of international approach or potential, no agencies or companies with a narrow b2b focus. I might make exceptions for really big players active on several international markets.
Web startups, services or innovations from or with roots in Sweden
