🎙️ A new Mostly Awesome Podcast episode is live!
Is it ambition or delusion to challenge US hyperscalers at 23? 🤯
Magnus Grünewald, CEO of Lyceum, raised a massive €10.3M pre-seed round to answer that question. In this episode, Katy and Hanano dig deep into what it really takes to build a sovereign European GPU cloud.
Here is what we unpacked:
🔌 Magnus challenges the status quo: Why AI engineers should stop managing server uptime and start "consuming compute" like electricity from a socket.
🏗️ Why scaling heat pumps was the perfect training ground for AI infrastructure. Magnus shares why pure software thinking fails when building heavy assets, and how to fix it.
🧠 Why a healthy dose of naivety is a feature, not a bug, when building "impossible" things in Europe.
🤝 How to lead people with twice your experience: Magnus reveals his playbook for recruiting PhDs and veterans by hiring for "high urgency" and giving away ownership on Day 1.
