No participation requirements, full support and with great passion.
Our Story
Founders Loft was created in 2019, but our history stretches back as far as 1999 when the association Framtidens Företag was established on the initiative of the School of Business at the University of Gothenburg.
In 2000, we became an independent incubator to support entrepreneurs and companies in their development, which is still at the core of what we do every day. We now have over 20 years of experience in business development and nearly 150 companies have started their journey in collaboration with us.
We know that building a company is not done based on a framework - all people are different and all business ideas have different needs, so we sit down together to come up with what suits you and your company best. We believe that sustainable entrepreneurs create sustainable companies.

Incubator
An incubator or business incubator is an organization with the aim of promoting and facilitating start-up companies' path towards growth and profitability. The incubator's main task is to offer qualified business advice or business coaching, as well as networks to facilitate contacts with customers, partners and investors.
In many cases, the business development support is combined with support services such as rental of premises, telephone and IT resources. In addition, the incubator often has partner agreements with service companies in accounting and financial management, business law, marketing and recruitment.
