Lucas and Luna sit in a software-startup loft, laptops open, and talk about the messy reality of building technology companies. This show strips away the Silicon Valley hype to examine how startups actually raise money, scale products, and navigate competitive markets. Each episode focuses on a single case: a founder’s journey from seed to Series B, the economics of a subscription model, or the strategic pivots that saved a company from failure. Lucas brings the data—valuation multiples, churn rates, burn multiples—while Luna pushes on the human decisions behind the numbers: why a founder turned down a term sheet, how a product manager prioritizes features, or what a failed launch reveals about team dynamics. The conversations are specific: they name real companies (Stripe, Notion, Vercel), cite actual funding rounds, and debate trade-offs like growth vs. profitability. Listeners who work in or around startups—founders, engineers, investors, product leads—will find the kind of detailed, no-bull analysis they can use in their own decisions. What does it really take to build a lasting software company, and which shortcuts end up costing you everything?
