What happens when a construction engineer, a world-class athlete, and a pandemic collide? You get an extraordinary entrepreneurial story that’s anything but ordinary. Welcome to the latest edition of Charge Incubator Blog, where we dive into the thrilling journey of Tommaso Scalet, founder of CTQuest, who turned his engineering know-how and love for adventure into a unique team-building platform that’s making waves in Norway and beyond.

Whether you're a budding entrepreneur, a seasoned founder, or just someone looking for a spark of inspiration, Tommaso's story is packed with the twists, turns, and resilience that define the entrepreneurial spirit.

From Italy to Norway: Crafting a New Path in the Land of Fjords

Tommaso Scalet wasn’t always in the business of team-building adventures. Originally from Italy and trained as a construction engineer, Tommaso's journey is a fascinating tale of pivoting when the unexpected happens. After making Norway his home, he faced the reality that his initial business idea needed a radical transformation. And what did he do? He tapped into his passion for orienteering—a sport he and his partner, Kate, excel in—and turned it into CTQuest, an app that’s redefining team dynamics in workplaces.

CTQuest: Where Team Building Meets Adventure

Imagine this: your team is racing against the clock, strategizing, and solving puzzles in an orienteering challenge that feels more like a high-stakes game than a corporate event. That’s what CTQuest offers—an exhilarating experience that pushes teams beyond their usual limits, fostering collaboration and quick thinking in a way that’s fun, challenging, and unforgettable. It’s not just about building a team; it’s about transforming how teams work together.

Lessons from the Charge Incubator: Flexibility is the Name of the Game

During his time at Charge Incubator, Tommaso learned that being a successful entrepreneur isn’t just about having a great product—it's about being adaptable, especially when the road gets rocky. The program taught him to embrace the complexities of running a business, from navigating taxes to refining business strategies. This mindset of flexibility has been crucial in allowing CTQuest to evolve and thrive.

Tommaso’s Top Tip: Flexibility is Your Superpower

Tommaso’s journey is a reminder that the path of entrepreneurship is rarely a straight line. His advice to fellow immigrant entrepreneurs? “Stay flexible.” Whether you're reimagining your business model or finding new ways to engage your team, adaptability is what will keep you moving forward, even when the going gets tough.
