Origin Story

By Justin Jackson & Jon Buda

The Problem

Podcast hosting platforms were either too limited, too expensive, or enterprise-focused. Indie podcasters needed a simple, affordable option.

Building It

Launched in 2018. Bootstrapped and profitable from early on. Documented the entire journey publicly.

First Customer

Early customers came from Justin's existing audience and their public build journey.

What It Means

Building in public as a growth strategy for SaaS.

The Dream

To be the best podcast hosting platform for creators and businesses.
