Lucas and Luna sit in a software-startup loft, laptops open, and talk about the messy reality of building technology companies. This show strips away the Silicon Valley hype to examine how startups actually raise money, scale products, and navigate competitive markets. Each episode focuses on a single case: a founder’s journey from seed to Series B, the economics of a subscription model, or the strategic pivots that saved a company from failure. Lucas brings the data—valuation multiples, churn rates, burn multiples—while Luna pushes on the human decisions behind the numbers: why a founder turned down a term sheet, how a product manager prioritizes features, or what a failed launch reveals about team dynamics. The conversations are specific: they name real companies (Stripe, Notion, Vercel), cite actual funding rounds, and debate trade-offs like growth vs. profitability. Listeners who work in or around startups—founders, engineers, investors, product leads—will find the kind of detailed

How Rust Rewrote The Rules Of Startup Infrastructure
Sep 5, 202611 minS4
We look at why a growing wave of infrastructure startups are abandoning Python and Go in favor of Rust to solve memory safety without sacrificing speed. From database engines to networking tools, we explore how this shift changes the economics of building reliable software, who is leading the charge, and what it means for founders trying to scale their platforms in a market where downtime costs millions. #RustProgramming #StartupInfrastructure #MemorySafety #SoftwareEngineering #CloudComputing #SystemsProgramming #DeveloperTools #TechStartups #BusinessTechnology #CodeQuality #PerformanceOptimization #OpenSourceSoftware #DatabaseEngines #NetworkSecurity #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #TechTrends2026 Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
While the tech world chases billion-dollar AI unicorns, a different kind of company is quietly thriving: the B2B micro-SaaS. This episode explores how solo founders and tiny teams are building profitable, niche software tools that solve specific operational headaches for other businesses. We look at why these small, focused products often outperform massive platforms in customer retention and why the market is rewarding specificity over scale. From legal compliance dashboards to specialized inventory trackers, we examine the economics of the 'small but mighty' startup model and what it means for the future of enterprise software. #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MicroSaaS #B2BSaaS #SoloFounder #Bootstrapping #StartupStrategy #SoftwareDevelopment #NicheMarkets #Profitability #CustomerRetention #TechTrends #Entrepreneurship #SmallBusinessTools #SaaSModel #ProductMarketFit #LucasAndLuna #September2026 Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
How Linear Built the Issue Tracker Developers Love
Sep 3, 202610 minS4
Linear didn't just build a better bug tracker; they engineered a culture of velocity by stripping away friction. In this episode, we look at how Linear’s design-led approach to software development tools forced a rethink of how engineering teams manage work. We explore their specific decisions on keyboard navigation, automated status transitions, and the controversial choice to remove comments in favor of threaded replies. This isn't about feature bloat; it is about the economics of attention for high-performance startups. We analyze why developers are willing to pay premium prices for tools that promise flow state preservation, and what this means for the broader market of developer productivity software as we head into late 2026. #LinearApp #DeveloperTools #ProductivitySoftware #StartupCulture #EngineeringManagement #SaaS #VentureCapital #TechStartups #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #WorkflowOptimization #SoftwareDevelopment #UserExperience #TeamCollaboration #AgileMethodology #TechIndustry #FounderStories #BusinessStrategy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Cursor is the code editor that feels like a pair of senior engineers sitting next to you. In this episode, we look at how this San Francisco startup raised over three hundred million dollars by solving the friction between human intent and machine output. We break down their agentic workflow, the shift from autocomplete to autonomous coding, and why developers are abandoning traditional IDEs. With the broader tech market cooling in September two thousand twenty-six, high-valuation software plays like Cursor offer a case study in product-led growth during a capital-constrained era. #CursorAI #SoftwareDevelopment #ArtificialIntelligence #TechStartups #CodingAgents #DeveloperTools #VentureCapital #ProductLedGrowth #MachineLearning #LargeLanguageModels #TechInvesting #StartupFunding #EngineeringCulture #SaaS #CloudComputing #FutureOfWork #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Vercel has become the default hosting platform for modern web applications, but its dominance wasn't inevitable. In this episode, we explore how Vercel leveraged serverless architecture and edge computing to redefine frontend deployment. We examine the specific technical decisions that allowed them to scale from a niche tool to a critical infrastructure provider, analyzing their pricing model, developer experience strategy, and the competitive moat they've built against traditional cloud providers. Discover why developers are choosing Vercel over AWS or Azure for their next project. #Vercel #Nextjs #ServerlessArchitecture #EdgeComputing #FrontendDeployment #WebDevelopment #CloudInfrastructure #DeveloperExperience #SaaSBusinessModel #TechStartups #SoftwareCompanies #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechNews #StartupStrategy #DigitalTransformation #WebPerformance #DevOps Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
