The co-founder breakup that didn't end the company: Allegro Sprute on getting it right
In this episode, Allegro Sprute, co-founder and CEO of Brio, talks with Petter Made about what it actually takes to lead an AI company as a non-technical CEO, including the moments when the co-founder wants to go in a different direction and every mentor in the room is suggesting something different. Allegro started selling before the product existed, which led to early customers and enormous pressure to deliver. When the founding team's vision split in two, what followed was one of the rarest outcomes in startups: a co-founder breakup handled so professionally it didn't cost the company a single investor. He also opens up about hiring an engineer when what the company truly needed was a founding engineer, and why the difference matters more than most founders realise. When two people he deeply respected gave him completely opposite advice in the same week, Allegro had to find a third option: his own.

Finding new ways to get punched in the face: Wael Abdelmalek on GTM failures that shaped Uthereal
In this episode, Wael Abdelmalek, CEO and Co-Founder of Uthereal, gets brutally honest about what it takes to build a technical moat in the AI era – when anyone can ship a competing product over a weekend. Together with Paul Müller, Wael discusses why vibe coding without understanding the architecture can kill a product at scale, selling before the UX existed, spending $12,000 on sales emails with zero replies, and an enterprise demo that collapsed when a manager handed it to the wrong users without context. Plus the mindset shift that keeps Wael building through guaranteed failures and painful execution – this is not a journey for someone optimizing for happiness.

The $5M US Government contract VCs said wouldn't happen: Ravi Teja Chadalavada on proving them wrong
In this episode, Ravi Teja Chadalavada, Co-founder and CEO of Sapios, talks with Petter Made about his newly-signed $5M US government contract most VCs told him would never happen. Ravi is a PhD robotics researcher who built the world's first fully automated driving test system – autonomous car technology squeezed into a phone with no examiner required. Getting there meant cold-calling 100+ driving schools to get one yes, then throwing out the entire sales strategy afterward. It also meant turning down a 3 million Krona grant while unemployed, because accepting it risked losing his most important future customers. When visiting his sister in the US, he drove several hours to the DMV headquarters in Richmond, Virginia for a meeting that got rescheduled 10 minutes before he arrived. Ravi walked in anyway and waited 6 hours in the car park until they could fit him in before his flight back to Stockholm the next day. That 30-minute meeting turned into a $300,000 pilot, 2+ year partnership, a $5M contract, and 27 states in the pipeline. In this episode, Ravi breaks down every step of how he proved the B2G skeptics wrong.
