Mesh Community

New position - Nordic outlook 😎 My past 6 months with Mesh Community have been incredible, intense, and fun. Connecting with 100s of new entrepreneurial spirits! It has also let me to understand the importance and need for a high-level #Nordic ecosystem to support and advocate for our #founders and #creators. Right now, there’s still a long way from Oslo to Stockholm to Copenhagen to Helsinki.. And that is despite the fact that the Nordics are globally viewed as one market providing high-level, innovative and researched-baked founders. There’s an opportunity to start living up to that potential. To push for better conditions, exchange networks, and educate the market on how to support and engage with founders - across borders. As a Nordic organisation with 500.000+ entrepreneurs using our services, Mesh stands in a unique position to make it happen. This has led us to create a new role for me advancing from local partnerships to building our programme and network on a Nordic level. Working closely with Anders Mjåset on the Nordics and Frederik Jean Herold Ferbing in Copenhagen - supported by the rest of the awesome Mesh Community team. I will still join forces with new and existing partners to elevate their engagement with and contribution to the ecosystem - which is what Mesh is all about. But soon, with an elevated platform to do so. I can’t wait to start sharing more. We are still in stealth mode for now.. but! if you are a VC, innovation/investor focused C-level executive, or series A+ founder looking to elevate your network in the Nordics + San Francisco; reach out and I’ll get back to you with more ASAP. A special thank you to Frederik, Anders, and the rest of team Mesh for the journey so far - 2025 is going to be nothing but wild! 🚀 Matrikel1 / The Hub / Mesh Oslo / Digs

7Analytics at Arendalsuka 2024! Key take home lesson: Natural damages cost insurance companies in Norway 7.4 billion (!) NOK last year. Yet another all-time high. Arendalsuka is THE place to get together and talk about the society around us and solve problems for the future. Ragni Rønneberg Hernes from 7Analytics attended two days to check out some of the presentations on climate adaptation, visit the startup community at the Gründerboat and catch up with industry colleagues. 3 take home lessons: 🤑 2023 was a record year, and not in a good way. Insurance payouts for natural damage cost about 7.4 billion NOK. 🚨 Prevent > Repair. Too little money is put into climate adaptation in the municipality budgets. 1 NOK invested in natural damage prevention may save society 6 NOK. ☔ Fortunately, interest in climate adaptation is growing. Both within the insurance industry as well as for asset owners, finance and banking. Lastly the official selfie, confirming the visit. See you next year!
