In this episode, Lukas Koestler, Co-founder and CEO of SE3 Labs, tells Daniel Dippold why he joined EWOR after Paul Graham called it "intellectually dishonest", and why it turned out to be one of his best decisions yet.
He also discloses something he has never shared publicly: the last time he screamed at the top of his lungs. For Lukas, that is not losing control but a system, because bad shit happens all the time as a founder and your body needs an outlet before you can solve the problem. That system got tested mid-fundraise, when a Big Four consultancy called to admit they had failed to submit the tender his round depended on.
Additionally, Lukas shares why he turned down Tesla's autopilot team to found a startup in Germany, and how he achieved an oversubscribed pre-seed with Lakestar and Seedcamp in June 2026.
