Only three weeks into the second Stockholm program, many teams have already tracked out and started developing their ideas. Two lucky teams got to pitch their ideas directly to the Prince, WantABaby who are building a platform to improve the fertility journey, and WorqMate, with the vision to unleash growth and innovation by increasing the well-being of millions of employees.

These teams were formed in the program less than two weeks ago but has already come far in terms of ideation, validation and even some traction. Prince Daniel offered valuable, hands-on feedback to the co-founders that will be useful to enhance the chances of building successful companies within the areas of femtech and healthtech.
