Stories of builders, operators, and optimists reshaping technology.
We document the candid conversations behind breakthrough companies—unpolished lessons, culture shifts, and the playbooks founders actually use.
Founder Boat is a curated archive of long-form interviews with the technologists, operators, and builders steering the next era of AI and software. We research every conversation, cross-check the sources, and edit for clarity without sanding away the substance. Alongside curation, we occasionally publish exclusive written interviews—deep dives that begin with off-record conversations and land as narrative pieces you can’t read anywhere else.
"The best way to predict the future is to invent it."
From seed-stage experiments to public company pivots, we look for the inflection points: the decisions that rewired teams, the frameworks guiding product bets, the cautionary tales other founders can reuse. When a story demands more context—how a CEO thinks about technical culture, the philosophy behind radical product bets, the tradeoffs baked into shipping AI at scale—we dig in through fresh reporting.
If you want to collaborate on an exclusive interview, or you’re exploring technical culture, tech philosophy, or product strategy and need a thoughtful counterpart, reach out on X ( FounderBoatHQ ). We’d love to hear from you.
