Lukas Gentele is Co-Founder & CEO of Loft , the platform engineering company behind "kubernetes virtualization" to reduce costs and create efficiencies for teams with high (and growing) kubernetes usage. They allow any organization to scale self-service access to Kubernetes from 10 to 10,000 engineers. Loft recently raised $24M led by Khosla Ventures and previously raised from investors including Fusion Fund. In this episode, we dig into the company's journey through a shift from being a PaaS ( devpod ) to virtualization of kubernetes ( vcluster ), the rapid feedback loop you get from having an open source-based company, why Lukas thinks open source founders should be more commercial from the start & more!
