The SaaS Podcast - Real Lessons on Gr...
Building software is easier than ever. Growing it into a profitable business is the hard part. Every week, a founder gets specific about what actually moved the needle: finding product-market fit, landing customers, pricing, defensibility, and durable growth.
Host Omer Khan has interviewed nearly 500 software founders, from their first customers to real scale. You get what actually worked, not theory. Lately that includes the honest take on AI: what it changed about building and selling software, and what it didn't.
New episodes every week.
