Where can you listen?

Founder Stack is where founder psychology meets startup capital.

Most content tells you what successful founders did. We go deeper. We explore why they made those decisions, how they thought, and what it cost them. Then we connect that to the numbers: funding strategy, investor psychology, and the capital mechanics that determine whether a startup survives or scales.

Our thesis is simple. The psychology of a founder predicts their funding outcomes.

Every podcast episode goes deep with founders who have lived the full arc. The obsession, the fundraise, the scaling, the exit, and what comes after. No highlight reels. Just the real psychological and strategic inflection points that shaped the outcome.
Founder Stack is also home to two newsletters, Founder's Psyche and Founder's Capital, and a growing suite of tools that help founders assess their psychological risk profile and capital readiness.
