I just canceled my subscription to the The Wall Street Journal after being a paid subscriber for over 20 years. The new WSJ apps completely ruined the reading experience on both iPad and iPhone. Now it's just painful to use. WTF WSJ? They just pissed off all their long-time digital subscribers.

Yup. That’s my story. One VC told me I was ā€œstupidā€ and that I would ā€œruin my careerā€ pursuing innovation Games/Conteneo. Greg Head has a brilliant podcast series that focuses on practical founders - and our bank accounts are often much bigger than VC-backed founders when all is

Serious SaaS founders have learned that pursuing big VC funding too early decreases their odds of success. The longer you can go without raising outside funding, the better your odds of success as a SaaS founder. Thanks, finn thormeier, for the clip from your pod!
