Jan Oberhauser is the face of Germany’s newest Artificial Intelligence (AI) unicorn, N8N. He taught himself programming. He actually comes from the film industry, where he worked on Hollywood projects such as “Pirates of the Caribbean.”
We want to become the first billion-dollar company with fewer than 500 employees.
In 2019, he founded N8N, a platform that allows users to create their own applications and artificial intelligence agents with minimal programming effort. The automation specialist recently became Germany’s third artificial intelligence unicorn, following the translation service DeepL from Cologne and the Berlin-based customer interaction specialist Parloa.
“We are thinking very seriously about what the organization will look like in the future,” Oberhauzer said in an interview with Handelsblatt technology reporters Lina Knees and Stephan Scheuer. His goal: fewer than 500 employees and 1 billion in revenue.
What sets this company apart from competitors such as Sweden’s Lovable? Does his start-up threaten the jobs of thousands of programmers? And will Oberhauzer stay with his company in Germany despite the relatively strict regulations? You can hear the answers to these questions in the new Handelsblatt Disrupt podcast series.
