Peer Richelsen is co-founder and co-CEO of Cal.com. He’s also an ODF alum and On Deck team alum.
The internet returns to its roots
Peer Richelsen views the internet as a democratic, transparent, and open technology that is undergoing a renaissance. Open-source software development was the spiritual precursor to 2021's web 3 boom. Tinkerers like Peer are ecstatic that technologists are returning to the very fundamentals of the web that made it so inclusive and exciting in the early 2000s. In this episode, Peer explains how the Internet can finally return to its decentralized roots because of incentive structures that have developed over the last few years. We also dive into several fun other topics, including how to pick the right web domain, how to build a company with two CEOs, and what the differences in cultures of compensation transparency are between the US and Germany.
Also available to listen on Spotify, YouTube, and Pocket Casts.
