WATCH: The Upstarts Podcast Trailer Is Here!

Go deep with founders from Canva, Loyal, Star Catcher, Valar Atomics and more on their Upstart Moment with Alex each week in our new flagship show.

It’s Game Day for Upstarts Media.

Weeks of hard work and preparation have gotten us to this point: and now it’s time to roll the tape.

We’re talking, of course, about The Upstarts Podcast. And our official trailer is now live, for you to watch and sign up wherever you get your podcasts!

What you’ll get from The Upstarts Podcast:

• A weekly, one-commute length interview with an emerging startup leader

• Unique insight into their ‘Upstart Moment’ — where they’re most punching above their weight and taking on the status quo

• Real strategies and tactical tips for any busy builder to apply to their own jobs

• A lot of fun (and a sprinkling of corny Alex jokes)

In just the first few episodes, you’ll hear from:

• Canva co-founder and CEO Melanie Perkins, who turned 100 investor rejections into 260 million users and a $42 billion valuation

• Valar Atomics founder and CEO Isaiah Taylor, working to solve our energy crisis with new-look nuclear reactors at giga scale

• Loyal founder and CEO Celine Halioua, on the path to FDA approval for a drug extending the lifespans of our dogs

• Star Catcher co-founder and CEO Andrew Rush, unlocking space-to-space solar energy for everything from satellites to orbital data centers

• Many more big and up-and-coming names in startups, from work software and AI video to aerospace, fertility and health!

Your support is super important to our success in getting the word out about what we’re doing here. It’s a cliche, but it really matters a lot if you can take 10 seconds to like and subscribe to the show wherever you get your podcasts.

A 5-star review and comment on our show pages will also go a huge way to Upstarts being able to reach a wider audience with this work.
