Elgato 🎥 : Vom TV-Karten-Anbieter zur relevantesten Streamer-Marke

30 March 2026, with Joël Kaczmarek and Julian Fest

Summary

This episode is in German.

Julian Fest, son of the founders, describes how Elgato went from a hardware supplier of TV cards, founded in Silicon Valley in 1999, to a brand for creators that hit the nerve of YouTube and gaming in 2012. The Money Monday episode covers the pivot itself and how the merging of software, hardware and a willingness to focus on a niche produced the Stream Deck, now used on stages, in home offices and at the Olympic Games. Mistakes, creativity and keeping a brand independent while growing are also discussed.
