Back where it all began!
10 years after Sebastian Rundqvist founded Zeipt, he returned to where the entrepreneurial journey first took shape. This time to showcase a live fintech solution built from the ground up.
At The Village, hosted by BI Norwegian Business School, finance, technology, and entrepreneurship intersect to explore real-world innovation. Through sharp keynotes, in-depth fintech interviews, and focused panel discussions, the event creates a platform for exchanging knowledge and challenging how future solutions are built.
For us, this wasn’t just another speaking opportunity. It was a full-circle moment! Demonstrating how an idea formed in an academic environment can evolve into a live, scalable solution used in the market today.
A big thank you to Handelshøyskolen BI,Chul Christian Aamodt, Jörgen Skjelsbæk for the invitation, and Per Kristian Næss-Fladset (DNB), Torill Standal Eliassen (Conta), Thuc Hoang (Firi), for continuing to build an arena where students, researchers, founders, industry, public sector, and capital come together to accelerate new ventures.
Entrepreneurship is not just theory. It’s ex*****on. And it starts somewhere.
