About This Podcast
Early Stage Journal (ESJ) was founded to provide original and in-depth reporting on early stage founders and the investors and communities behind them.
Through longform features, Q&As, and podcast episodes, ESJ goes beyond the results, valuations, and funding rounds to tell the deeper story behind each startup.
The gritty, raw, and intimate moments that often go untold but are crucial in how each founder started and grew their business.
Plus, get the rundown on what makes their product innovative and disruptive—minus the fluff and jargon.
