We just published the latest episode of The SaaS Podcast:

Launch & Differentiate Your SaaS in a Crowded Market

In this episode, I talk to Rob Loewenthal, the founder of Whooshkaa, a platform that helps creators and brands to produce, host, and monetize their podcasts.

In 2014, Rob walked away from a job as the CEO of a radio network in Australia to launch a SaaS startup. His idea was to build an end-to-end technology platform to help podcasters.

He was getting into a market that already had a lot of competitors. But Rob believed that there was an opportunity to do a lot more to help podcasters than just hosting and analytics.

And in a relatively short time, he’s been able to build a differentiated product that’s now used by around 9,000 podcasts and enterprise SaaS companies like Cloudera and Atlassian.

In this episode, we explore how he’s gone from zero to almost $5 million in annual recurring revenue through mostly word of mouth and relentless focus on building a great product.

💬 Quote of the Week
Here is the quote of the week from Rob:

📕 Book of the Week

This weeks' recommendation is "Fermat’s Last Theorem" by Simon Singh.

Here's a brief blurb about it:

"In ‘Fermat’s Last Theorem’ Simon Singh has crafted a remarkable tale of intellectual endeavor spanning three centuries, and a moving testament to the obsession, sacrifice, and extraordinary determination of Andrew Wiles: one man against all the odds.

For over 350 years, proving Fermat’s Last Theorem was the most notorious unsolved mathematical problem, a puzzle whose basics most children could grasp but whose solution eluded the greatest minds in the world. In 1993, after years of secret toil, Englishman Andrew Wiles announced to an astounded audience that he had cracked Fermat’s Last Theorem. He had no idea of the nightmare that lay ahead."
