Håkon Græsberg

Håkon grew up in a village of 60 people where nobody had a university degree. He found a loophole into NTNU’s computer science program, took it, and watched them close it the year after. He went on to specialize in AI at NTNU and EURECOM in France.

Before Native he built computer vision for autonomous inspection drones that cut cargo tank inspections from a week to a few hours, and radar that watches for signs of life inside prison cells. The radar runs in facilities in Norway and abroad, and it has alerted staff to serious incidents and saved lives.

At Native he built the backend, the AI agent infrastructure and the platform architecture, which in a single month published 40,000+ posts for 2,000+ companies. When launch day brought thousands of users at once and drained the servers in minutes, he got Google on the phone for more compute, and a week later the platform was faster than before.
