A founder interview series by Trentinian
Building Software in Luxembourg
Thoughtful conversations with founders about what they are building, how they are building it and what they have learned along the way.
A 30–40 minute conversation. Publication online is entirely optional.
THE IDEA
A thoughtful conversation about building a company
Every product has a story behind it: a problem someone decided to address, assumptions that had to be tested, technical and commercial decisions, unexpected difficulties and lessons learned through experience.
Building Software in Luxembourg looks beyond the polished company pitch. The aim is to have an open and substantive conversation about what it actually takes to turn an idea into a working product and a growing company.
THE FORMAT
The format
Each interview is a relaxed, 30–40 minute online conversation recorded through Google Meet.
The eight recurring questions are shared beforehand. They provide a framework for the interview while leaving room to follow interesting subjects as they emerge.

Interview structure
CONSENT
Publication is optional
You may take part in the conversation without agreeing to public exposure.
At the beginning of the recording, you will be asked whether you consent to:
- Publication of the complete interview on YouTube
- Publication of selected short extracts on LinkedIn
You may agree to either, both or neither. The interview will only be published through the channels to which you have consented.
EIGHT QUESTIONS
Eight questions
The same eight questions are shared with every guest before the recording.
WHY TAKE PART
Why take part?
The conversation is an opportunity to step back from the day-to-day work of building a company and reflect on the decisions, difficulties and lessons behind it.
It is also an opportunity to exchange experiences with another software engineer and founder who is genuinely interested in how technology companies are being built in Luxembourg.
If you opt into publication, the interview can also provide:
- A professionally presented introduction to you and your company
- An opportunity to explain your product in your own words
- Direct links to your company and product
- A complete video interview on YouTube
- Optional short video extracts for LinkedIn
The series is new, so a large audience cannot yet be promised. What can be promised is a serious conversation, careful presentation and a genuine interest in your story.
GET IN TOUCH
Interested in taking part?
If you are building a software product or technology company in Luxembourg, I would be interested in hearing what you are working on.
Getting in touch does not commit you to an interview. We can first have a short conversation to see whether the format feels right for you.
