Javad Mushtaq is back on EXPresso for the third time.
In our earlier conversations, we spoke about investments, impact, diversity, entrepreneurship and emerging markets. Since then, Javad has continued his journey internationally through MIT, Harvard, AI, technology, investments and work at the intersection of capital, society and impact.
In this episode, we meet in New York for an honest conversation about Norway, the US, ambition and what it takes to build bigger from a small country.
We talk about:
Why Norway has the talent, but often lacks the ambition and risk tolerance
The difference between Norway and the US when it comes to capital, networks, scale and belief
Janteloven, storytelling and why Norwegians need to become better at talking about their wins
Why Norwegian founders should think globally from day one
AI as a fundamental technological shift, not just a hype cycle
What responsible AI means when technology has the potential to impact billions of people
Outsider energy, imposter syndrome and social mobility
How Javad went from almost dropping out of high school to MIT and Harvard
Why failure, learning and resilience need to become a bigger part of Norwegian founder culture
Norway’s role in the world, Norwegian identity in the US and the excitement around Norway being back in the World Cup for the first time in 28 years
This is a conversation about technology, capital, identity, impact and why Norway needs to think bigger.
