General business podcasts don't always know what to ask a technical founder. These shows are either built by technologists or specifically feature IT and software company leaders.

Venture & technology strategy

  • The a16z Podcast — technology and market strategy conversations with founders, operators and academics.
  • All-In — weekly technology, startup and macro commentary.

Built for IT & software company founders specifically

Chit Chat with Harry is the only show on this list built entirely around Indian software and IT company founders and CEOs — recent guests have covered AI adoption, sales for IT services, and building SaaS from India. Apply to be a guest →

What to lead with when pitching a tech-focused show

Generic "we're an innovative startup" pitches get ignored. Tech-focused hosts respond to a specific, non-obvious claim: a real number, a decision that looked wrong at the time, or a technical trade-off you'd make differently now. See our Podcast Guest Pitch Template for exact wording.

Questions

Do I need a large company to be a guest on a tech podcast?

No — most tech-focused shows care more about a specific, well-told story than company size. A founder with ten employees and one hard-won lesson usually makes a better episode than a 500-person company with a generic one.

What topics do tech podcast hosts actually want to hear about?

Specific decisions and their consequences — a pricing change, an AI tool that didn't work, a hire that changed the trajectory — rather than a general company overview.
