Chul Christian Aamodt was the founder of enerWE, a media startup launched from a home office. Together with a small and agile team, he built an online business newspaper that, through a merger, became part of DN Media Group.
Along the way, Aamodt collaborated closely with students and invited recent graduates to become shareholders, involving them directly in the growth of the company.
In his talk, Aamodt shares the mistakes he made and the decisions that helped position the company to become part of one of Norway’s largest media houses.
DN Media Group acquired all of Aamodt’s shares in the spring of 2025.
