Harry Stebbings
The go-to podcast for venture. Hundreds of episodes with top founders and investors. Harry's rapid-fire style gets straight to the insights - no filler.
Acquired
Biweekly
Ben Gilbert & David Rosenthal
Deep-dive episodes on how the biggest companies were actually built. Best research in podcasting. Their NVIDIA and Costco episodes are masterclasses.
Lenny's Podcast
Weekly
Lenny Rachitsky
Product, growth, and go-to-market - practical advice from operators who've done it. The most actionable podcast in tech. Every episode has at least one framework I end up using.
All-In Podcast
Weekly
Chamath, Sacks, Friedberg & Calacanis
Four investors debate tech, markets, and politics. Unfiltered takes on what's actually happening in Silicon Valley. Best listened to with a critical ear.
The Knowledge Project
Biweekly
Shane Parrish
Mental models, decision-making, and thinking clearly. Not a startup podcast, but the thinking frameworks here make you better at everything - including evaluating deals.
My First Million
3x / week
Sam Parr & Shaan Puri
Business ideas, side hustles, and startup brainstorms. Light and entertaining - good for pattern-matching on what business models are working right now.
