The journey — ventures that paid in lessons

Fa

Firra AS

Web design studio · Norway · Company №1

My first company — and the fastest education I ever bought. I learned to build websites, to pitch, and to run a company from the inside out: the accounts, the paperwork, all of it.

Took away → web design craft & company structure. Firra's skills built every venture since.

3D Printshop logo

3D Printshop

E-commerce · Norway · ~50 000 NOK revenue

I built and ran an online store selling 3D printers, handling customer orders, packing and shipping. The business generated approximately 50,000 NOK in revenue before I closed it because the margins weren't worth the time.

Took away → unit economics, logistics and when to quit while you're ahead.
