- The best SaaS founders on earth tell their stories and experiences - often since childhood, their businesses, their visions of the world .. advice tooThese are all interviews where the founder is in the room with the interviewer who has huge experience in SaaS himself - and speaks on the same major tech stages as the guests. They guests really open up - and all of them are SaaS founders, mostly CEOs, who have built incredible businesses - and all of them have a business that's flying at the time of interview. Probably the most educational, intellectually satisfying, yet human of all the tech podcast interview series. The guests come from all over the world and are interviewed in several different continents. Highly recommended.
