Скачать или смотреть Building Billion-Dollar Tech Companies: Ep. 12 with Matthias Laug (Just Eat Takeaway, TIER Mobility)

Welcome to Episode #12, and this one is truly special.

In this episode, I sit down with Matthias Laug, someone I deeply admire and was fortunate to call a mentor. Matthias was the CTO and co-founder of Just Eat Takeaway (publicly traded, $2.8B raised) and the co-founder of TIER Mobility ($647M raised), two iconic European tech companies that reshaped entire industries. He also served as CPTO of Enter, one of Europe’s most exciting climate-tech startups.

This 1h20m conversation is packed with insights, stories, and practical lessons for engineers, founders, and CTOs.

🔹 In this episode we discuss:

🚀 How Matthias built multiple billion-dollar companies
🧠 Leadership, communication, and decision-making lessons for CTOs
🔧 How we co-built a RAG workflow (Notion + Google Docs ingestion + Pinecone assistant)
⚙️ The future of automations using n8n, VibeCoding, and modern LLM workflows
🎙️ Behind the scenes of my hybrid podcast + streaming setup (VibeStage)

We also briefly touch on TerraSpark, Matthias’ newest venture exploring Europe’s bold approach to Space-Based Solar Power.

And yes… I pushed a late-night update to VibeStage right before recording, it broke at the start 😅 but then worked perfectly. Startup life.

This podcast keeps evolving, and I’m excited to bring even more inspiring guests to future episodes.

My setup is fully mobile, it fits in my backpack, so if you know someone I should interview or co-build with, just drop their name in the comments or DM me.

If you enjoy this conversation, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share, it helps a ton.

Thanks for being part of this journey 🙏
Amazing conversations ahead.
