Bootstrapping a SaaS business is no easy task. It takes hard work, dedication, and a lot of hustle. But it’s definitely possible to achieve success, even without outside funding.
One of the best ways to learn about bootstrapping and get inspired by other successful entrepreneurs is to listen to podcasts. There are a number of great SaaS bootstrapping podcasts out there, but which ones should you listen to?
In this blog post, we’ll share our top 10 podcasts on bootstrapping to follow in 2023.

The Foundr Podcast with Nathan Chan
We interview hard to reach entrepreneurs. (Mark Cuban, Tim Ferriss, Sophia Amoruso, Tony Robbins, Barbara Corcoran, Gary Vaynerchuk, & many more).
Unlike most podcast interview series Nathan Chan literally started from knowing nothing. He was just an average guy working in a 9-5 job he utterly hated. He knew nothing about entrepreneurship, nothing about startups, nothing about marketing, and nothing about online or how to build a business. So from launching Foundr Magazine he’s gone out and spoken to some of the most successful entrepreneurs and founders in the world to find out exactly what it takes to become a successful entrepreneur, so YOU can learn from them.
Why this podcast? Because we’re asking the same questions you want to know as an entrepreneur on their journey to building an extremely successful business. We’re on the front lines facing the daily battles you are.
