After my enriching experiences in Norway and the success in various university projects and hackathons, I felt ready to take on a new challenge. The next pivotal moment came when I decided to attend Collision Conference 2024 in Toronto, Canada—a decision that would change the course of my life. Originally, I had planned to return to Norway after the conference to continue working as a teaching assistant during the summer, but the possibility of starting my own business in Canada during the summer was too compelling to pass up. Starting my business in North America was an opportunity I couldnt ignore. I quickly acted on this decision, applying for a work visa through the International Experience Canada program, which allows young people from 18 to 35 to work in Canada. To complete the process, I traveled to Stockholm, Sweden, to have my fingerprints taken at a Canadian VAC center. Once my visa was approved, I informed my employer in Norway of my plans and found a place to stay in Toronto. Fast forward a month, and I had already fallen in love with Toronto. The citys towering skyscrapers and vibrant tech scene were unlike anything I had ever experienced. The energy of the city fueled my ambition and solidified my decision to move there and build something meaningful. The transition wasnt easy, but it was worth every challenge. Moving to a new country, navigating the visa process, and adjusting to a new city while starting a business was daunting. However, I was fortunate to make great friends during the Collision Conference who played a crucial role in my journey. Their unwavering support and guidance provided me with the strength and confidence needed to navigate the complexities of starting a business in a new environment. Their insights and connections were instrumental in helping me overcome obstacles, shaping my resilience and adaptability—qualities that have become the backbone of my entrepreneurial journey.
