Abios Gaming and Codarica to Bonnier Accelerator

Following weeks of jury deliberation and a series of interviews, the two teams of entrepreneurs who will take part in Bonnier Accelerator 2014 have been announced. 

The team of Oskar Fröberg, Anton Janér and Birger Myrberg are founders of Abios Gaming.
Abios Gaming aims to be the industry standard and go-to place for gaming enthusiasts who want to keep up with the latest tourneys, matches and teams on the eSports scene, including live matches. The company launched Abiosgaming.com last August.

Fröberg and Myrberg are recent graduates of the Stockholm School of Economics and Janér is finishing up a degree at the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology.

“It’s going to be great to work together with Bonnier,” says Fröberg. “We look forward to continuing to develop Abios Gaming and giving eSport the recognition its fans are looking for.”

The team of Rosalyn Knapp, Lovisa Levin and Sanna Nilsson are founders of Codarica.
Codarica produces educational material to teach children 5-10 to code, making coding more accessible and less intimidating while puncturing stereotypes. The company has launched an e-book in Swedish and English and has an app in development with more planned for the future.

The three studied digital data strategy together at Hyper Island. Knapp has interned at digital agency CREATETHE GROUP, Levin at Spotify and Nilsson has worked at Klarna.

“We have a ‘standing on the shoulders of giants’ feeling!” says Knapp. “We are very excited to join Bonnier Accelerator and looking forward to all the intensive challenges ahead of us.”

Ulrika Saxon, CEO for Bonnier Growth Media and chairman of the jury said: “With so many interesting and well-developed digital business ideas, our work was cut out for us. But we narrowed it down to two exciting startups that we believe have a lot to offer and can really benefit from the program and the resources we have.”
