Successful B2B SaaS founders listen

Books are great. And I'm the biggest advocate of reading being part of your daily habit. But, as a SaaS founder you spend a lot of time in front of the computer. Thus, it can be nice switching things up every now and then with a podcast.

Selecting a podcast can be difficult though. You don't want spend your valuable time on irrelevant podcasts, with questionable merits, or where quality does not hold up. You want the best.

After +5 years of listening my way through virtually all podcasts in startups, SaaS and B2B - here are the big top list for B2B SaaS podcasts.

9. StartUp (bonus)

In short StartUp is a documentary-like show about what it’s really like to start a business.

On the topic of B2B SaaS podcasts - this is an honorable mention, as one of the best and most unique podcasts on startups I have listened to.

Like most good things - it was referred to me, by a good friend and B2B SaaS founder Max.

StartUp - Top B2B SaaS Podcasts

The podcast was launched in 2014 by Alex Blumberg, founder of Gimlet Media. And it's about.. the entreprenuerial journey of founding Gimlet Media and exiting to Spotify (during the podcast's timespan).

So, if you listen to it in chronological order you will, IN REAL TIME, get to experience - the birth of their startup, co-founder conflicts, investor dialogues, culture problems, growth ache, and finally a big exit to Spotify.

Now with +10M downloads, this is an absolute classic. But it's not actively updated - so I would recommend to listen to the first season, and start with e1.

Host: Alex Blumberg is the co-founder of Gimlet Media. He is an award-winning radio journalist. Prior to Gimlet, he was a producer for This American Life and the co-founder of Planet Money.

Fun fact: This podcast is so good the company Gimlet Media got acquired by Spotify (well, they had a pretty solid SaaS product too..) AND it has been adapted into an ABC sitcom called Alex, Inc.
