Since 2008, Karsten has worked with product management in Otovo.com, Schibsted.com, Finn.no, and Norgesmøllene. In the period from 2015 to 2019, he started and built Livvin.com, which today is part of Finn.no. Today Karsten is a partner in the Norwegian product-company Skavl.no. Karsten also advises a number of start-up / scale-up companies, like Elaway, on product management.
Norway has become a go-to place for learning about electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy, and at the heart of it all is Elaway, a scale-ip founded in hydropower. After five years in operation, we've proudly built 1,400 charging facilities, serving over 140,000 parking spaces across our four markets. In 2022, we expanded our footprint to Sweden and Germany, drawing on our experience to make EVs more accessible throughout Europe. In 2024, we have added Denmark as our fourth market.
Elaway is a rapidly growing player in a fast-moving industry. Our goal is straightforward: to speed up the transition to EVs as part of the solution to the climate crisis. We're backed by three solid partners: Hafslund and Eviny, who bring over a century of electrification experience, and SUSI Partners, where we're part of the SUSI Energy Transition Fund.
