Great podcast with insightful topics
Have found all the episodes I’ve listened to so far to be hugely valuable. Every topic has been well thought through and is relevant to anyone going through the start up journey. As a side note, I really appreciated the podcast on the current Middle Eastern conflict. Whilst it is not necessarily related to the theme of the podcast, it is a topic that is front of mind for many and it was great to listen to - sadly a risky move in todays climate but I’m sure many of us appreciated it. You have a new fan for life.
Clear, insightful and entertaining
I was tired of listening to hyped up bros talking about tech, pleased I listened to the latest episode analysing Google's AI product launch - learnt heaps without the hype. WIll be listening to back episodes too.
Aha moments
The way I rate podcasts is the number of times I get that moment where you go ‘ah! Yes!’
The Startup Podcast is a bank of these moments and they offer excellent, pragmatic advice for me as a startup founder.
Couldn’t recommend more.

Direct (sometimes uncomfortably 😉) and valuable
The regular wake up slap in the face you need to keep your start up focused and on track to scale

Worthwhile
Refreshing to hear some local voices talking sense about Australian (and global) SaaS companies and the ever-growing startup ecosystem down under. I find myself vigorously nodding in agreement, and there’s always great nuggets of truth and takeaways that make it worth listening to. Top job!

Great Insights
I started listening to this podcast on my walk to work. There’s an incredible amount of useful, practical, and actionable content in all the episodes I have listened to. I now sit down with my notebook as I listen; there’s too much to digest. Really appreciate the podcast.

Very practical and insightful
I’m learning a lot from The Startup up podcast. Yaniv and Chris are insiders with practical insights on how to build a Silicon Valley style startup. Thank you for all you do and keep going!

Amazing Intro to Startups
I love that you Chris and Yanev are explaining how Silicon Valley-style startups work in the Australian context. Very engaging, educational and definitely a sorely needed thing.

Best resource and a joyful listen
Having researched 30 startup resources, I find The Startup Podcast (and Y Combinator Startup School) the best by far. Chris

What are you waiting for?
A treasure chest worth of no-bs advice on running Silicon Valley-style startups. Great insights, always on point - highly recommend!
Absolute Gem
The Startup Podcast is an absolute must-listen! With its candid storytelling, it provides an authentic, engaging, and insightful peek into the world of entrepreneurship. Whether you're a seasoned founder or just curious about startups, this podcast is a treasure trove of inspiration and wisdom. It's a riveting journey that keeps you hooked from start to finish. Highly recommended!
A fresh take on startups
The Yaniv & Chris podcast offers a refreshing take on startup life, diving into topics often overlooked by mainstream discussions. Their recent episode, 'Outsider Founders' particularly resonated with me as it delves into the challenges faced by founders who aren't part of the Silicon Valley or any other startup inner circle.
The hosts bring a unique blend of expertise and relatability, making complex issues accessible.
This podcast is a must-listen for any founder seeking unconventional wisdom and actionable insights.
My new go-to for Startup wisdom
The Startup Podcast has become my new go-to for Startup wisdom. Even though I work early-stage, the knowledge transfers powerfully and practically. I can highly recommend.

A goldmine of knowledge
The Startup Podcast is a goldmine of knowledge, it's well worth a listen regardless of what stage startup you work in. Easy and engaging listening that's guaranteed to help you learn a thing or two.
Aussie voices describing global startup
It’s great to have an Australian voice and perspective in relation to the start of culture. Far too many podcasts are US focused. Yaniv and Chris describe the start-up ecosystem in great detail and make it relatable for Australian businesses.

My favourite podcast as a Founder
Listening to them is like having a mentor guide you through situations you will have to face as a Founder.
My favourite podcast!
Two brilliant minds talking about really useful topics for which they have uncanny expertise. Two somewhat different people who have the optimum balance of shared opinions. Definitely my favourite podcast!

The best Startup Podcast out there
I have listened to many startup podcasts, and this one is by far the best. - a must for any founder. Yaniv and Chris break down what matters when starting a silicon-valley-style startup and many things you can directly apply to your business, product or company culture. I especially liked the recent episodes about Prioritization and the "VC Slaughterhouse." I recently started my first company, and if I am ever gonna be a successful entrepreneur, Yaniv and Chris will definitely have played a huge role in it. Thank you for doing this!!
Anyone can listen, especially if you aren’t a founder
I’m a business consultant as a digital product strategist and I get a lot from this podcast. The broad discussions I really appreciate and each episode I leaving quite inspired and motivated having taken a lot of ideas for how I can work better, and provide more value.
Timely latest episode for this founder and his startup
Great episode. It really spoke to the feeling I'm having around building our two-sided marketplace and growing aggressively so we can have our network effects kick in and really assist in taking things to another level for us and our model. It never made a ton of sense to me to go after revenue over growth for what we are doing given we are creating a new market in the same way uber created a new market with peer-to-peer in the existing A to B passenger transportation space. For both us and uber creating that new market that is working means execution of an aggressive growth strategy so as to OWN that new market before some else does. Yet I've had some VCs tell me we need to de-risk their investment for them by hitting certain revenue numbers. This always made me think, well 1 that means slow growth and risking someone else seeing our success and blowing past us on a market WE created! And two, it makes me ask why wouldn't i just use my own revenue to boot strap then? Why do I then need your money Mr VC guy?
Timely episode and very succinctly presented. Great job guys!

Lots of value
While I don’t always agree to the opinions of the hosts, I’m smart enough to apply the intentions to my own projects.
The content is great and there is always something of value to be gained.

Smart, to the point, inspiring, and entertaining content
I've been listening to these during my morning jogs for the last few months (as I work on setting up my next venture) and I've found myself stopping, getting out my phone and writing little snippets/ thoughts down in my notes (probably not great for my <5min/km run pace as I stop... but I am loving it).
Great for early stage founders
10/10!
As a first time founder, discovering this podcast was like finding a gold mine. It’s educational, inspiring, & entertaining. I’m left feeling energized and motivated after each episode and have learned so much in just a few episodes. Yaniv & Chris have so much knowledge & experience in the start up world it’s awesome to be able to listen in and soak up the incredible insight they have to offer.
