  • Nathan keeps it real

    Nathan doesn't let you hide. He pushes on the numbers and if you don't have them he'll call you out. I went on as a guest and walked away sharper because of it. If you're a founder building something real and you want to hear how other founders are actually doing, not the LinkedIn highlight reel, this is the one to listen to.

  • A podcast that actually respects your time

    15 minutes, real numbers, no filler. Nathan asks what most interviewers won't. Been listening for a while and I genuinely use the data to benchmark my own company. One of the few podcasts I actually recommend to other founders.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kadence Reaches $15M ARR Managing Hybrid Work for Revolut & Boeing
Q: What was the highest valuation you raised at Chargify, and when did that occur?
The highest valuation was about 40 million US, and it happened in 2019 (not 2021).
How TitanX Hit $9.7M ARR After Buying IP for $200K
Q: How did you decide to acquire the IP instead of building it internally?
Joey explains that buying the IP created a critical moat, saved time, and allowed immediate access to a licensed data framework and fraud-detection capabilities, which he could scale quickly—something that would have taken years to replicate from scratch.
How Allo Reached $10M Revenue With 5,000 Customers
Q: What is the current ARR and how has it evolved since the seed round?
ARR was around a million a year ago; they expect to finish the year at about 10 million, driven by a 32% MoM growth and expansion deals.
How Allo Reached $10M Revenue With 5,000 Customers
Q: How many total customers are you serving today?
Around 5,000 customers, with steady growth as the product moves from a solo founder effort to a multi-person team.
How TeamSupport Reached $10M–$25M ARR With 1,000 Customers | Grant Stanis
Q: How is growth being incentivized for CS teams and what does that look like in practice?
Growth is driven by signals from customers and the goal of expanding expansion revenue, with a compensation approach that incentivizes CS reps to upsell, though exact incentives are tailored to the company and context.
