Startups For the Rest of Us
@startupspod
The podcast that helps developers be awesome at launching software products. Hosted by @robwalling.


As entrepreneurs, we make something out of nothing. And often, we take it for granted. @robwalling on Nobel Prize habits, a founder who hit $20K/month in two months, and why thinking in years beats thinking in months. Ep 833 👇 startupsfortherestofus.com/episodes/episo…


When do you leave a $400K salary to go full-time on your SaaS? @robwalling fields listener questions on pivots, building with four young kids at home, and whether a step one app can ever break free of its marketplace, and more. Ep 832: startupsfortherestofus.com/episodes/episo…



235 attendees. 12 countries. Almost 25% doing seven figures. @robwalling and @derrickreimer break down the best of MicroConf 2026: @asmartbear on growth plateaus, @amandanat on Zero-Click Marketing, AI implementation frameworks, and more. Ep 830 👇 startupsfortherestofus.com/episodes/episo…

Is your product actually SaaS? In ep 828, @robwalling answers listener questions including his definition of SaaS (spoiler: Netflix isn't), plus dual funnels for solopreneurs + enterprise, B2B/B2C strategy & pricing mission-driven apps. 👉startupsfortherestofus.com/episodes/episo…


Most B2B SaaS founders don't realize 70% of acquisitions between $2-20M ARR are done by private equity, not strategics. @robwalling and @einarvollset break down who's actually buying, what drives price, and how to avoid leaving millions on the table.

In ep 825, @adamwathan (@tailwindcss cofounder) and @robwalling talk about the boiling frog problem that hid a 70% revenue drop, the layoffs that followed & what he'd change about pricing. Then they pivot to founder fitness and his 15-minute workouts. 👇 startupsfortherestofus.com/episodes/episo…
