The best place to be an employee can also be the best place to be a boss.
We at Startup Norway have been wondering what makes some people to decide to start up their ventures in Oslo. The high paychecks and amazing benefits for employees make people think twice before starting their own companies. It is seen as an unnecessary risky situation for many.
However, there is something flourishing in Oslo that is defying the 9 to 5 paradigm. Doers, hackers, hustlers, designers, innovators, etc have been gathering in Oslo and they are creating a culture that empowers and promotes entrepreneurship.
Oslo is a great city to live in. It has the advantages of being an European capital, like flight connections and cultural activities. And it also preserves the great benefits of nature, with plenty of outdoor activities to choose from and one of the cleanest airs in the world. Nevertheless, Oslo can be also a bit tough sometimes.
