Startupers, the company behind STRTP

Startupers

Startupers is a European startup consulting company. It was founded in 2018 in Stockholm by Max Moneta, after years of running his own startups, building products, consulting founders and leading startup programs in Sweden and Ukraine. Startupers Oü is incorporated in Estonia, registration number 14493992.

Those years taught us one thing. A startup’s fate is decided less by its deck than by its room: the mentor who makes one call, the co-founder met at a weekend hackathon, the investor who hears about you from another founder. Most startups never see that room. It lives in group chats, event lists and people’s heads.

So in 2019 the consulting company built a platform for the room. Today Startupers runs STRTP, the community, and Startupers Online, the place where it lives.

The founder

Max Moneta is an entrepreneur with a Master’s in Computer Science and solid management experience. Five years at Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks, then seven in the Swedish startup scene: running his own startups, building products, consulting founders and helping run Startup Weekend and Startup Grind in Stockholm. Later he led Founder Institute in Ukraine, mentored and lectured in accelerators and university programs, and began a PhD on how startup ecosystems work.

From every one of those chairs the view was the same. Startupers is what he built from it.

Startupers Online

Startupers Online is the digital home of the STRTP community. A startup shows what it is building, says what it needs and gets found by the people who can help: co-founders, first hires, mentors, investors and partners. Accelerators, universities and startup schools open their programs and events to the whole community in one place.

The first version launched in 2019. The new one, rebuilt around the community itself, opens on 1 December 2026.
