Some people read about the next generation of startups in three years. Some were in the room when it started.

On August 20, this year's summer batch hit the stage – handpicked from a record-breaking pile of applications, then put through three relentless months with Norway's founder elite in their corner.

And they're not showing up empty-handed: some have paying customers, a million NOK soft-funding in the bank, and funding rounds already brewing. Climbing robots, space-grade hardware, AI, health, energy – the range is as wild as the pace.

Investors: this is as early as it gets. Next time these founders are on a stage, there's a price tag next to them!
