2026-03-271h 00The Design VCTracy Osborn (TinySeed): Why Most SaaS Companies Don’t Need VC, and What Works InsteadIt might surprise some listeners to hear that, as a VC, I spend a lot of my time encouraging founders to think twice before taking traditional VC money.Not because VC is “bad”, but because it comes with a very specific deal. Most VC funds are built to chase unicorn outcomes, and only a small number of startups can realistically deliver that. Meanwhile, plenty of founders would be better served building something different: a durable, profitable SaaS business that can grow to 30, 50, even 100 people, and create a genuinely great outcome without ever needing a billion-dollar exit.Th...

He shares the behind-the-scenes reality that surprises most people: a tiny design team in a sea of engineers, a founder who wanted everything designed, and a culture where designers weren’t an afterthought, they were part of the release valve. Along the way, there’s a gr...

That small interaction became the seed of Intercom’s now-ubiquitous in-app messenger, and eventually a company that reshaped how startups communicate with customers.We talk about what it r...

Det som har tagit designer hit, kommer inte att ta oss vidare i UX och design-mognad. Designers måste sluta sträva efter perfektion och acceptera att vi inte är(eller någonsin har varit) medelpunkten i processen. Istället bör vi fokusera på att bli mer pragmatiska och lära oss att "snacka business”.
I detta avsnitt pratar vi om våra reflektioner kring Andy Budds väldigt träffande och tankeväckande tal på FBTB. Vi fick även äran att intervjua Andy under konferensen för lite fördjupande frågor, det är med i slutet av avsnittet!
