| 6/22/26 |  He shut down his last startup and gave the money back—then hit $1M ARR in 6 months. | George, Founder of Monk | George had to wind down his last startup and give investors their money back. He went deep into the valley of despair, certain he'd missed his window to build something big. Then he met a co-founder, decided to start over, and started selling. In this episode, George breaks down how a customer signed a $36K pilot off nothing but a Loom and a one-pager, how cold email took him from zero to $1M ARR with no sales team, and why a "seven out of ten" is the most dangerous hire you can make. Why You... | 46m 05s | ||||||
| 6/15/26 |  He quit his $50M ARR startup to work as a paralegal—then raised a $60M Series A. | Dan Mishin, Founder of Manifest | Dan founded and scaled a $50M ARR, SoftBank-backed startup—and could've stayed to make tens of millions. Instead, he handed it to his chief of staff and started from scratch. He wanted something bigger. He took an entry-level paralegal job to learn everything about law hands on. Then he built Manifest, which just raised a $60M Series A. In this episode, Dan breaks down why he did intake calls for 1,000 legal clients before building anything, how free Slack communities turned Fortune 500 HR ma... | 42m 37s | ||||||

Instead of just building a shiny new dashboard on top of legacy platforms, she decided to completely replace the offshore accounting model with AI. In this episode, Helen breaks down how she raised a $4.7M seed round pre-product as a solo founder and why she chose to build an AI-enabled service instead of pure software.

| 3/16/26 |  He moved to the US with nothing. Now he does $750M ARR. | Mateo Marietti, Founder of CookUnity | Mateo had already built a successful food company in Argentina. But he wanted more. So he moved to New York with no network, no credibility, and a dream to build the "Spotify for Food." The first two years were messy. He nearly ran out of money multiple times, relied on corporate expense accounts to keep the lights on, and failed a major expansion into LA. But then, he noticed a strange behavior: some customers were ordering 10 meals at a time. That single insight led to a massive pivot, a pa... | 56m 24s | ||||||
| 3/12/26 |  This 3x founder hit $1M ARR in 5 months. Here's his playbook. | Roy Moussa, Founder of GetVocal | Roy is a three-time founder who has cracked the code on enterprise AI. After selling his first company and realizing his second idea was too slow, he pivoted to solving a massive problem: customer service automation. In this episode, Roy breaks down how GetVocal went from zero to $1M ARR in just five months. He reveals the "Context Graph" technology that allows them to beat LLM wrappers, why he believes purely generative AI is useless for business, and how he turned a single deployment into a... | 44m 13s | ||||||
| 3/9/26 |  He made 0 sales for the first 8 months. Now he does $200M+ ARR. | Ryan Anderson, Founder of Filevine | Ryan was a successful lawyer with a massive problem. He couldn't find a task management tool that worked for his firm, so he built one himself. He thought he'd solved the problem, but for 8 agonizing months, he couldn't sell a single subscription. In this episode, Ryan breaks down the gritty reality of bootstrapping Filevine into a $3B legal tech startup doing over $200M in revenue. He shares how a random Instagram ad campaign ended his sales drought, how he fought off a Tiger Global-backed c... | 56m 43s | ||||||
| 3/5/26 |  He built heads down for a year. Then landed a $1M contract. | Sam Jones, Co-Founder of Method Security | Sam spent years at the Air Force and Palantir before deciding to build Method Security. Instead of launching an MVP and iterating with customers, he did the opposite: he shut out the world and built in the dark for a year based on his own conviction. In this episode, Sam breaks down his contrarian approach to building a platform for the enterprise and government. He reveals how he raised millions from Andreessen Horowitz with just a prototype, why he refuses to hire a sales team, and how he l... | 45m 13s | ||||||

Then hit $1M ARR in 4 months. | Michel Tricot, Co-Founder of Airbyte | Michel raised $185M and achieved a unicorn valuation before he fully cracked monetization. How? By building a community so strong it broke his engineering team. In this episode, Michel breaks down the chaotic journey from a failed YC marketing idea to becoming the standard for open-source data movement. He reveals why he killed a high-growth fintech product, how he used the "Magic Wand" question to find his true direction, and the specific insight that allowed Airbyte to hit $1M ARR in just 4... | 42m 59s | ||||||
| 2/26/26 |  He failed for 5 years. Then hit $20M ARR with 100% outbound. | Didi Gurfinkel, Founder of Datarails | Didi spent five years building a product that no one really wanted. He raised $10 million, tried endless pivots, and was known as the "black sheep" of his investors' portfolio. Then, with his back against the wall, he made one final bet on a boring, unsexy market: FP&A for Excel users. In this episode, Didi breaks down how that final pivot turned into a rocket ship. He reveals why he sold cheap monthly contracts to prove demand, how he used his kids to automate LinkedIn outreach, and why ... | 38m 28s | ||||||
