The SaaS company Mintra was founded by a supervisor and two students.

In his talk, he shares the mistakes they made and the crucial decisions that ultimately enabled them to build a global SaaS company.
Aamodt was among the company’s largest shareholders when it was acquired for approximately half a billion NOK, and the company later went public with a valuation of 1.3 billion NOK.
