No: Vårsolen skinte gjennom de store glassvinduene i Oslo Startup Inkubator.
En: The spring sun shone through the large glass windows in the Oslo Startup Inkubator.
No: Eirik sto ved sitt hjørnebord og så ut mot den grønne parken utenfor.
En: Eirik stood by his corner desk and looked out at the green park outside.
No: Trærne ble levende etter en lang vinter, og det håpet han også skulle skje med hans lille AI-startup.
En: The trees were coming to life after a long winter, and he hoped the same would happen with his small AI startup.

En: "We must show them our vision," she said firmly.
No: Lars var litt stresset.
En: Lars was a bit stressed.
No: Code'en hadde oppført seg rart, og fikse det i tide virket som en umulig oppgave.
En: The code had been acting strangely, and fixing it in time seemed like an impossible task.
No: Eirik gikk fram og tilbake, han visste at de hadde én dag igjen.
En: Eirik paced back and forth; he knew they had one day left.
No: Han kunne ikke utsette mer.
En: He couldn't delay any longer.
No: Burde de vise en halvferdig prototype?
En: Should they show a half-finished prototype?
No: Eller vente og risikere de skeptiske investorene mistet interessen?
En: Or wait and risk the skeptical investors losing interest?
No: Morgenen etter, i et lite konferanserom i inkubatoren, sto Eirik foran investorene.
En: The next morning, in a small conference room in the incubator, Eirik stood in front of the investors.
No: Kari og Lars ved hans side.
En: Kari and Lars were by his side.
No: Han startet presentasjonen.
En: He started the presentation.
No: Han pekte på skjermen, men plutselig stoppet alt.
En: He pointed at the screen, but suddenly everything stopped.
No: En kritisk feil.
En: A critical error.
No: Hjertet hans sank.
En: His heart sank.
No: Men Kari, alltid klar, smilte og begynte å forklare.
En: But Kari, always ready, smiled and began to explain.
No: Hun snakket med lidenskap om deres visjon og verken teknologien kunne oppnå.
En: She spoke passionately about their vision and what the technology could achieve.
No: Lars, med svette på pannen, jobbet intenst.
En: Lars, with sweat on his forehead, worked intensely.
No: Plutselig gav han Eirik en tommel opp.
En: Suddenly, he gave Eirik a thumbs up.
No: Prototypen fungerte igjen.
En: The prototype was working again.
No: Investoren som så skeptisk ut, lente seg fremover.
En: The investor, who looked skeptical, leaned forward.
No: Han var imponert.
En: He was impressed.
No: Mot slutten av møtet høres hans avgjørende ord: "Vi investerer."
En: At the end of the meeting, his decisive words were heard: "We will invest."
No: Eirik pustet lettet ut.
En: Eirik breathed a sigh of relief.
No: På vei ut takket han både Kari og Lars.
En: On the way out, he thanked both Kari and Lars.
No: Han hadde lært noe viktigere enn kode og investorstøtte: troen og støtten i laget sitt.
En: He had learned something more important than code and investor support: the belief and support of his team.
No: Våren ute i parken var mer enn bare et naturskifte; det var et nytt kapittel for dem alle.
En: The spring outside in the park was more than just a change of season; it was a new chapter for them all.
