[Subscribe to Swedish Tech News](https://www.swedishtechnews.com/#/portal/signup) to get access to a **daily newsletter** that brings you a brief overview of news from the Swedish startup & tech sector, curated by [Martin Weigert](http://www.twitter.com/martinweigert). Or, if you prefer a **free weekly newsletter**, [subscribe to Swedish Tech Weekly](https://swedishtechweekly.com/)! Before we start, a vacation notice Monday is a public holiday (Sweden's National Holiday), and then **I'll take the rest of that week and the one after that off to recharge batteries.** The disadvantage of running a one person daily newsletter about an industry that never stops evolving is that there rarely is an ideal moment to take a break, so I do have a bit of a bad conscience. But I shouldn't have of course. On Sunday June 19, I'll publish and send out a summary of the past 2 weeks, and then on Monday June 20, the daily newsletter will be back. I hope you'll miss it a bit until then (I will miss curating despite looking forward to some off days!), but not so much that it would become a problem, of course. **Funding news** - [Insert Coin](https://www.insertcoin.se) (Gothenburg, B2B SaaS provider of gamification technology): SEK45M (€4.3M, $4.6M) in a funding round led by Fros Ventures ([English](https://insertcoinab.medium.com/the-leading-gamification-platform-raises-45-million-from-evolution-gaming-founder-fredrik-osterberg-ef6f5ac03dd4), [Swedish](https://www.breakit.se/artikel/33245/insert-coin-vill-fa-din-bank-att-gora-som-tv-spelen-plockar-in-45-miljoner-fran-natkasino-kung) / *Breakit paywall*). - Niklas Adalberth's investment in German cleantech aggregator [1KOMMA5°](https://www.1komma5grad.com) which German media reported about - as mentioned in Wednesday's Swedish Tech News issue - was done through Norrsken VC, which today published a press release ([Swedish](https://www.mynewsdesk.com/se/cell-solar-nordic-ab/pressreleases/norrsken-vc-investerar-i-cleantech-bolaget-1komma5-grader-3186647), [machine translation](https://www-mynewsdesk-com.translate.goog/se/cell-solar-nordic-ab/pressreleases/norrsken-vc-investerar-i-cleantech-bolaget-1komma5-grader-3186647?%5Fx%5Ftr%5Fsl=auto&%5Fx%5Ftr%5Ftl=en&%5Fx%5Ftr%5Fhl=en&%5Fx%5Ftr%5Fpto=wapp)). \>> Daily updated, subscriber-exclusive Google sheet with all funding rounds raised by private Swedish startups and scaleups.
