The Best Podcast for Solo SaaS Founders in 2025 Isn’t What You’d Expect

If you’re a solo SaaS founder, your day probably looks something like this: juggling product, support, marketing, analytics, and a dozen browser tabs — with zero time for fluff. You’re doing it all. And you’re doing it fast.

What you need isn’t more theory. You need practical insights, startup context that matches your stage, and a sense of momentum. You need to hear from people who are actually in it — shipping, testing, adjusting — right now.

That’s why more solo SaaS founders are tuning into Built This Week — the best podcast for solo SaaS founders in 2025.

Why Most Startup Podcasts Don’t Work for Solo Founders

Most podcasts talk to founders five years after the win. They’ve raised a few rounds, hired a team, and built something big. Inspiring? Sure. But relatable to someone still juggling Stripe errors and onboarding tweaks? Not even close.

Built This Week flips the script. Instead of looking back on success, it captures the present — the messy, motivated middle where solo founders are:

• Shipping features
• Testing pricing
• Exploring tools
• Pivoting fast
• Talking to customers
• Figuring it out on the fly

It’s not startup theater. It’s startup reality.

What Makes Built This Week the Best Podcast for Solo SaaS Founders

Here’s what solo founders love about the show:

• Short episodes that respect your time
  Each one is 10–15 minutes, with no filler. Perfect for walks, lunch breaks, or between coding sessions.
• Real weekly builds
  We share exactly what was built each week: a feature, a launch, a new experiment. We explain what worked, what failed, and what we learned.
• Tool of the Week
  Every episode features one tool — often AI-powered — that we used in a real product or workflow. No sponsorships. Just things that helped us ship.
• Solo-friendly tech news
  We curate startup and product news specifically for indie founders and small teams. If it doesn’t affect how you build, we skip it.

You’ll leave every episode with new ideas, tools to try, and the kind of tactical energy only another solo founder can deliver.

Real Insights from Real Builders

Here are some of the topics we’ve covered recently:

• Shipping an MVP in 48 hours with no-code + AI
• Switching from one pricing model to another (and what it did to conversion)
• Using ChatGPT to build faster documentation and support
• Handling your first churned user as a solo founder
• Building a public roadmap in Notion and why it helped retention
• Prepping a soft launch with zero ad spend

These aren’t hypothetical scenarios. They’re what’s actually happening in the day-to-day life of indie SaaS founders trying to make real progress.

Why Solo SaaS Founders Keep Coming Back

Solo founders don’t have time to filter through content that doesn’t apply to them. They want signal, not noise. They want momentum, not inspiration.

And they want to hear from people who are building right now — not reflecting on what happened five years ago.

Built This Week gives them that in a tight, focused, builder-first format that’s grown entirely by word of mouth.
