Rate ShowEssential listening for anyone involved with startups
This podcast is essential listening for anyone involved in a startup, and particularly for anyone involved in direction and execution. You can find all of the advice contained in other locations, but it’s rarely as succinct and you won’t get Chris Saad telling you ‘Australians are not special’ and the understanding of the local context that comes with this podcast. It’s still extremely listenable if you’re based elsewhere in the world.
While the first episodes started out as an excellent guide to building and execution - and avoiding the mistakes so many have made - it has become more than that and now encompasses all areas and aspects of the startup process and environment. I’d like an episode on accelerators, but I’m not paying for this podcast so that’s a wish and not a feature-request (can you believe we get this podcast for free??).

Amazing Podcast!
I’m at the beginning of my journey setting up my own startup and this podcast has literally been a lifesaver! Chris and Yaniv break topics down in an easy to understand and actionable way. 1000% recommend.

Smart people sharing for real experiences
Great support for the ecosystem, easy to listen to, and gets you thinking. Just like talking to mates over coffee.

This is good stuff
Having waded through way too much esoteric content in the big VC podcasts, Yaniv and Chris have been a breath of fresh air with broadly applicable, actionable insights for anyone working on or investing in startups.

Super helpful for startup newbie & enthusiast
Just found this podcast this week and it’s so refreshing to hear an Australian perspective on the startup scene which feels so new sometimes. Combined with the wisdom of all the years of experience these guys have, it’s a great learning resource for anyone in startups. Love it.

Best tech/startup podcast in Aus!
Couldn’t recommend this podcast more for anyone in the startup ecosystem. Yaniv and Chris have done the hard yard in startups/tech and it shows in what they have to say.

Highly Recommend
This is an absolutely brilliant podcast for founders and startup operators alike.
It unpacks a lot of the mystery around startups and gives founders tips on what to avoid!
It’s also great value hearing from Yaniv and Chris who have incredible insight from both ends of the market (baby startups through to publicly listed tech companies)!!!

Best startup podcast I’ve come across
Can’t recommend this podcast highly enough. Just simple, easy to understand concepts that help drive founders to build great companies and avoid the downfalls of past failed ones.
Always learn something new and great to have insight from Chris and Yaniv, who have been there done that!
Always excited when a new episode come out 👍

Product led? This is a must listen to podcast
I’m a founder of a product-led, Silicon Valley style startup based in Sydney Australia, and this has become my absolute go-to podcast.
The quality of the content and discussion is head and shoulders above what is generally available in Australia. Pleased that these guys have put their neck out & broken the norm that currently exists and circulated by most in the startup community here is Oz. If you are trying to build a product that’s industry disruptive, requires large upfront capital investment & targets growth over initial revenue, add this to your weekly playlist.

Highly recommended for founders and product people
After listening to 6 episodes I would say this is one of the best product led start up podcasts, as a founder trying to find my way to product market fit this has answered many questions in my mind that I would probably have to spend hours to get to an answer to or paid hundreds of dollars in consulting hours to get that answer, well done Chris & Yaniv.
As we are talking about raising funds, I would love to hear more about successful strategies you have seen working for founders who can’t afford to quit their jobs to focus on their startups, is it acceptable when asking for a seed fund to allocate part of that to help the founder(s) survive over the next 18 months?

Practical insight
These guys take the startup topics you already know, and breaks them down into their core purpose and meaning, while providing inciteful feedback that is practical and useful along your startup journey. It’s my favourite podcast after one episode. I’m keen to learn more.

How is this free? :o
One of the best podcast out there! This is the type of content that you would sit down and listen in large tech conference. Both Yaniv and Chris provide such insightful knowledge on entrepreneurship within the startup world!

Must listen to anyone in VC / startups
Masterclass in every episode, this is a podcast that doesn’t shy away from in-depth discussion into VC and startups. Highly recommend because the podcast dives into topics that doesn’t get covered in other tech podcasts!

Fantastic podcast
Rapid fire content with just the right amount of Aussie perspective. I’ve paused to make notes at least once in every episode so far, which to me signals a great ROI on the time investment. Thanks for putting this together, great work!

Just-in-time learning
As a Founder who is edging closer to PMF, this podcast is a great reminder to go back first principles thinking for a lot of your decision making. These lessons are easily forgotten in the fogginess of building an early stage company.
