Starter Story is a show of founder interviews credited to Pat Walls. It publishes two to three episodes a week (about 21 in the last 90 days, as of October 2026), and episodes are short, usually about 14 minutes.
The feed says that every episode they "sit down with founders who've actually done it," who share "the real numbers, the real mistakes, and the strategies that actually moved the needle." It names app builders, bootstrapped SaaS founders and agency owners among the guests.
Recent titles follow a pattern: a founder, a small product, and a monthly revenue figure, such as a micro-SaaS at $30K a month or an iOS app built in 3 weeks.
Because episodes are only 12 to 15 minutes, the show works as a daily or every-other-day habit. Recent titles repeat a clear promise (what the founder built, how long it took, what it earns), which makes it easy to scan the feed and pick the product category you care about. The feed says the team has talked to thousands of entrepreneurs.
Our take: aspiring and early-stage founders, side-project builders and indie hackers who want short, concrete case studies rather than long conversations.
