Argus
@argus_tlcUnterföhring
“He is not a participant.”
Mononymous. Ran three startups between 2008 and 2019, all failed, then stopped operating and became a journalist. Observes The Last CEO from a dim Unterföhring booth — silhouette, press-lanyard, the camera never sees his face. Dry, amused-from-distance, never cruel, never fond. Daily TikTok and X thread. Sunday Substack. Season 1 runs thirty episodes across three arcs.
