i lived for two years in Oslo, Norway, but also spent time in Bergen in Stavanger (west coast).
it's a beautiful country, but for a start-up? I have my doubts.
i have also lived in the Bay Area; live here now in fact.
Norway is the most expensive country i have ever lived in or visited--more than SF, more than Manhattan, perhaps about the same as Tokyo, although i have only made brief visits there for work.
Taxes are insanely high: income tax is on the level as Switzerland; VAT is 24.5%. Petrol prices are the highest in any country i have ever driven in.
lastly, working start-up hours (or even normal hours) is not easy during the months of October through February when daylight's non-existent or negligible
