Episode description as stored

Nikola Mrkšić didn’t grow up dreaming of building a $500 million AI company. He wanted to be a neurosurgeon , or a diplomat . Instead, he co-founded Europe’s leading AI platform, PolyAI , a company handling over 100 million customer calls a year, backed by NVIDIA, and reshaping how we interact with machines. In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Nikola reveals: Why he never planned to be an entrepreneur, and how he got “accidentally” rich. The real reason AI startups get funding with no product, no revenue, and no customers. How his childhood during the Yugoslav wars shaped his obsession with seizing opportunity . The stress, pressure, and burnout behind building a billion-dollar company with two toddlers at home. Why Europe is broken for tech and what he’d do differently if starting today. His brutally honest take on success, motivation, and why some people should never start a company. This episode cuts through the hype and tells the truth about what it takes to succeed in AI, and why most people are chasing the wrong dream. 🎧 Listen now to hear the story behind one of Europe’s most exciting AI founders.
