The StepFWD Together program is winding down, and it’s been quite the ride. With the help of Startup Norway, Innovation Norway, Bitdefender, and Google for Startups, we set out to boost early-stage tech startups—and boost we did. The second phase, Grow, was all about giving each startup the kind of attention and mentorship they needed to break through their unique challenges.
