Arfve Tech Lab – Stockholm Edition
Lead. Build. Engineer. Shape the Next Swedish Tech Breakthrough.
Are you a final-year student at KTH, Handels or other Stockholm based University ready to turn your skills into real-world impact?
Do you want to be part of the founding story of the next global consumer tech company, built in Sweden — with modularity, intelligence, and sustainability at its core?
At Arfve, we’re not just launching a product.
We’re building Modular Intelligence — and we’re now recruiting a 8-person leadership team to co-drive our crowdfunding accelerator and campaign launch in September 2025.
Who We AreArfve is on a mission to end disposable hardware by rethinking how we build, own, and upgrade tech.
Our first product — the world’s first 3-piece modular, AI-powered earbud — lets users swap the battery, chipset, and speaker instead of throwing them away.
We’re already 5 months into the journey, with a Tech Lab of 35+ international co-creators, 5 specialized product teams, and early traction in both B2C and white-label markets.
Now, it’s time to scale.
