Ripple Aerospace is a Norwegian aerospace company developing the oceanic Sea Serpent launch system. Leveraging Norway's long history of seafaring, shipbuilding, and maritime technology, we are developing a rocket class capable of being built, launched and recovered on the sea.

Jeg ville ikke prøvd å beskrive dere som én startup med én problemstilling. Det interessante er nettopp at kandidaten kommer inn i et lite økosystem av ekte virksomheter og nye konsepter. På The Hub er det en styrke, særlig for den typen tech/AI-nysgjerrige student vi vil ha. Jeg ville skrevet det slik: About us We have a slightly unusual setup. We run several businesses and projects across hospitality, consumer products, media and design. Some are established businesses with employees, customers and real revenue. Others are early-stage ideas we are currently trying to turn into something real. Møllefossen is a café, event venue and hospitality concept in Oslo. We are building a premium Norwegian mineral water brand. We work with wine import, are developing new consumer products, and are currently launching a podcast. More ideas tend to appear faster than we can execute them. That is essentially the problem we are trying to solve. We are good at coming up with concepts, building businesses, finding opportunities and getting things moving. But today, a surprisingly large part of turning an idea into reality is digital: a website needs to be built, a brand needs an identity, something needs to be filmed, a product needs packaging, a podcast needs to become 15 good clips, or an idea needs to be tested before spending weeks and a lot of money on it. AI is changing how much a very small team can actually do. We want to take advantage of that properly – not by generating endless mediocre content, but by combining good taste, creativity and new technology to move much faster from “we should do this” to “it’s live.” That is why we are looking for someone who gets genuinely excited by having Framer open in one window, ChatGPT or Claude in another, a half-finished Reel on the screen and a completely new project landing on their desk the following week. If you need a clearly defined corporate job description and six months of planning before launching something, this probably isn’t the right place. If that sounds like fun, it might be.

Mattehelten ble startet med én klar visjon – å gjøre matematikk enklere og hjelpe elever som sliter med faget. Vi vet hvor frustrerende det er for foreldre å se barnet sitt streve med matte uten å vite hvordan man kan hjelpe. Matematikk er et av de fagene flest elever sliter med i skolen, og konsekvensene kan være store både for selvtilliten deres og fremtidige utdanningsmuligheter. Statistikk fra 2016/2017 viser at 22 % av tiendeklassingene fikk karakteren 2 eller lavere i matematikk, og i 2024 strøk over 20 % av privatistene i 2P, R1 og R2-matte. Disse tallene viser at mange elever ikke får den oppfølgingen de trenger for å mestre faget. I tillegg ser vi at stadig færre velger realfag på videregående, fordi de opplever matte som for vanskelig. Dette bidrar til mangel på ingeniører, IT-spesialister og andre viktige yrker, som igjen påvirker samfunnet og fremtidens arbeidsmarked. Mattehelten ble startet for å snu denne trenden. Vi hjelper elever med å tette kunnskapshull, bygge mestring og oppnå bedre resultater, slik at matte ikke blir en hindring, men en mulighet. Gjennom 1-til-1 digital undervisning tilbyr vi skreddersydd mattehjelp der elevene får tett oppfølging hver uke. Vi bruker Google Meet og tegnebrett for å forklare både skriftlige utregninger og digitale verktøy som GeoGebra, regneark og programmering. Mattehelten ble grunnlagt i 2020 av Stephan Hung Nguyen under pandemien. Han så hvor mange elever som slet med matematikk og ønsket å gjøre en forskjell. Med sin ekspertise innen undervisning og matematikk startet han et gratis tilbud for ungdommer – både for å støtte dem gjennom pandemien og for å øke interessen for faget. I løpet av tre år underviste Stephan opptil 20 timer i uken helt gratis, ved siden av studiene. Etter hvert økte etterspørselen, og flere forespurte fast digital undervisning. For å kunne hjelpe flere begynte vi å ta betalt, slik at Stephan kunne undervise på fulltid. Fokuset var – og er fortsatt – å tilby undervisning preget av empati, trygghet og mestring. Ryktet spredte seg, og stadig flere ønsket mattehjelp fra Mattehelten. I 2023 hadde vi 4 undervisere, i 2024 vokste vi til 11, og i 2025 har vi 20 dyktige undervisere – alle med samme mål: å hjelpe elever med å mestre matte og føle seg trygge i faget.

Crystallize is a New Normal Group company that has been at the frontier of digital technology and business models for the last twenty years, we have learnt the lessons for what to do and more importantly; what not to do. What to leave out. Both in terms of product scope as well as for your own business model. The founding brothers Bård and Aleksander Farstad have taken earlier ventures to the global scale, serving some of the most demanding clients globally, like The Economist, Financial Times, KitchenAid and NASA, building global ecosystems of partners and developers across all continents. New Normal Group is a venture accelerator and investor, founded by Bård, Aleksander and their partners, with a mission to build exponential software companies that chase the new normal of their industry. Being extremely hands-on, strategically and systematically supporting founding teams while at the same time supporting them with funding and resources so they can focus on what matters the most; building a world-class team, creating products customers love and driving growth. As we ourselves also are entrepreneurs, Crystallize is a venture fully incubated by the New Normal Group in 2017. Now a fully independent company, where Bård spends all his time as CEO, Crystallize still enjoys being a New Normal Group company. With their support we can still focus on what matters most; building the ultimate headless commerce service that redefines how to build, grow and succeed with business online, while pushing the boundaries of internet craftsmanship.

Fishency Innovation can give access to the entire salmon industry to affordable equipment to count automatically sea lice in the cage. Monitoring sea lice is the key to controlling them, it is access to good decision support for optimized treatments and to a reliable tool to measure the efficiency of preventive measures and existing treatments. Today, sea lice are counted manually over 20 fish, every week, in each cage. It is labor-demanding, and the collected data are not reliable. Sustainability starts with good data.

Startup Extreme was created by passionated founders in 2015, with the goal of showcasing the Norwegian startup scene to the world. Seven years on, Norway has a rapidly growing startup ecosystem, Increased international interest, and three new unicorns in 2021 alone. So we feel that it is now time for Startup Extreme to also evolve and work towards something bigger – a new mission: To help build a more connected startup ecosystem. We believe that true connections don’t happen in office meeting rooms, on video calls, or at traditional events and conferences; but when people are put in situations that allow them to be real, authentic, and a little outside of their comfort zones. So what better arena to meet upcoming startup founders, eager investors, and curious corporations, who all share a passion for the startup ecosystem? ‍ We are all about the startup community and developing bonds that go deep — natural connections that are almost spiritual. Essentially we — being a startup ourselves — build events that we’d love to attend.
