How to go from idea to impact in early-stage innovation

Behind every successful startup is a spark, some frustration, a challenge, or an idea that just won’t let go. But turning that spark into something real? That’s where the real struggle begins.

"From Idea to Impact" is a webinar series where we explore life inside startups and scaleups with experienced entrepreneurs. It’s not just about the glory – we cover success stories and f*ck-up stories alike.

Startup life

In this webinar, we’ll explore life inside a startup with Vidar Ulset, a founder with several ventures on his CV, including Nabolagshelse.no, Lysne Psykolog, and now TailorEd. We also get to meet Chris Klemmetvold Business Developer at Impact StartUp and author of Handbook on Social Entrepreneurship and more. Kjell-Vidar Åhman Teig, Innovation Lead at Yulieta, will guide us through this hour filled with insights, tips and tricks.

We’ll dive into

  • Falling in love with the problem – why ideas without real problems fail
  • From research to entrepreneurship – shifting mindset from publishing papers to testing prototypes
  • Start small – really small – why your first product isn’t “the product”
  • Sell first, build later? – how to find out if anyone actually wants what you’re creating
  • Don’t go alone – finding partners who complement your strengths
  • Expect resistance – and how to deal with it
  • Action beats perfection – why progress matters more than feeling “ready”
  • Funding your project – building momentum before money

We’ll use TailorEd and other startups to illustrate how these startup insights play out in practice.

Join us for an inspiring hour where innovation meets impact – whether you’re building the future of education, or preparing the educators of the future.

Meet the Speakers:
