I’ve kept a BIG secret ??
In April I shared that Konfidens made it to the top ten in the regional Startup World Cup finals and would pitch at Startup Extreme. What I didn’t tell you, is that out of more than 200 great companies… WE WON ????
Right now, I’m on my way to San Francisco to participate in the global semi-finals and pitch the world’s top investors, together with leading startups from all over the world.
???Probably the most expensive 2 minute pitch I’ll ever give - I basically won the opportunity to pay $2500 out of my own pocket for the trip. That's $1250 per minute on stage ?? But what an adventure!
Big thanks to the jury for their vote of confidence ?? Lise Fulland

You made it so easy for me to get approval from my girlfriend to leave her alone with two small kids for an entire week while I jet-set to San Francisco ???(you’re the best Tale Hagtvedt ???May the force be with you ??)
A big shoutout to my incredible team in Konfidens that keeps proving that little Norway can deliver world class tech on par with the best of the best from Silicon Valley ?? And to all the investors that believes in us and keeps on pushing us forward - this wouldn’t be possible without your support ??
?? HELP A FELLOW OUT
If you have tips on fun things to do in SF, great places to eat, or interesting people I should meet, please drop a comment ???I’ve never been there and really need help making the most of the trip!
