Shace has been admitted to SSE Business Lab, the incubator at the Stockholm School of Economics. We are part of SSE Business Lab's first startup batch of 2026, where the common thread is how AI is used to solve complex problems in society and business.
What is SSE Business Lab?
SSE Business Lab is the Stockholm School of Economics' startup incubator. It was founded in 2001 and is open to students, alumni and faculty of the school. Companies in the program get coaching, access to a network of entrepreneurs and investors, and workspace alongside other startups.

Shace brings a different way of finding an office. Tenants describe the office they need, we search the whole Swedish office market and send a handpicked shortlist within 24 hours. After that we help with viewings and the contract. Landlords get qualified enquiries from tenants who already know what they are looking for, and can publish their premises directly from their own systems.
Why SSE Business Lab matters to us
Finding an office is still manual and fragmented work for many companies (see our guide to finding office space in Stockholm), and for landlords it is hard to reach the right tenants at the right time. It is a problem where AI can make a real difference, but only if the product is built close to customers.
Working in SSE Business Lab's environment gives us access to mentors, fellow founders and investor networks. It strengthens our ability to ship product at the pace the market expects, especially as demand grows for transparency, good data and smooth processes in the Swedish office market.
In the Swedish business press
The milestone has also been covered in Dagens Industri and other Swedish business media, alongside SSE Business Lab's focus on AI companies and the school's role as a hub for tech-intensive ventures.
