In 2016 I set up my own company - felt courageous and signed up for "ITSA Launch & Pitch Day" for the purpose of winning NOK 500,000. So I, engineer Trond Rolfsvåg 53 years, ended up on the school bench to learn to "pitch". It was a very enjoyable journey because of my interesting co-founders and energetic trainers. People gave of themselves and we helped each other. Good atmosphere. I got supervisors from the top shelf. They opened various important doors for me. Investor Einar Bekkevold had steel belief in the Hydrophilic technology from the start and gave me help and pushed me forward. I never won the $ 500,000 - I wasn't even close. I won a lot more. Hydrophilic now has good support from the industry and I am my own boss for the first time in life. When I think back, I feel deep gratitude to the people who are Valide. Thank you!
