FoundersOutlook is looking for founders who will talk honestly about what building actually takes. If that sounds like you, apply below.
Nothing is off limits unless you say so. A typical conversation moves through:
You can flag any topics you would rather avoid on the prep form.
Fill in the short application below. It takes about five minutes and there is no pitch deck required.
Every application is read personally. You will hear back either way, usually within a week.
If it is a fit, you get a private booking link and pick a time that works, virtual or in person.
A short prep form collects your bio, headshot, links and the topics you want to cover. Reminders are automatic.
A relaxed 30 to 45 minute conversation. No script, no gotchas. We can restart any answer you are unhappy with.
Once your episode is live you get the links, promo graphics and captions ready to share.
60 min booking · 30–45 min recorded
75 min booking · 30–45 min recorded
Around five minutes. Tell us who you are, what you are building and the story you would like to share.
Send us your story
Email your name, company, website and the founder story you would like to share. Every application is read personally and you will hear back either way.

Still unsure about something? Send us a note and we will get back to you.
The recorded conversation runs 30 to 45 minutes. Block 60 minutes for a virtual session or 75 minutes if you are coming into the studio, so there is time to settle in and do a sound check.
Nothing beyond the prep form, which asks for your bio, a headshot, your links and the three topics you would most like to cover. Come as you are. The best episodes are conversational rather than rehearsed.
A laptop or desktop, a stable internet connection and headphones if you have them. Find a quiet, reasonably well-lit room. We record through Riverside in your browser, so there is nothing to install.
Yes. In-person sessions are recorded in Edmonton, Alberta. You will get the full address, parking details and arrival instructions once you book.
We do not send full edits for approval, but if something comes up that you would rather not publish, tell us during or straight after the recording and it will be cut.
Every episode goes out on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts, plus clips across social. You will receive all the links and promotional assets when it goes live.
Nothing. Appearing as a guest is free. Sponsorship is a separate conversation and never affects who gets booked.
You will still hear back. Timing and topic mix are the usual reasons, and plenty of guests are approved on a later round, so it is always worth applying again.
