Indie Founder Podcast Trailer

Author: Tiago Ferreira January 3, 2026 Duration: 1:20

Welcome to the Indie Founder Podcast—a show where I (Tiago) share my journey from software engineer to full-time indie maker. In this podcast, I talk about building bootstrap businesses like Podsqueeze—ventures grown without outside funding—and my dream of creating an “indie empire.” I’ll be documenting my experiences, offering practical tips, and featuring interviews with other indie founders. If you’re curious about life beyond the 9-to-5 and want real, honest insights into indie entrepreneurship, this podcast is for you!


Tiago Ferreira is a full-time builder, an Indie Founder who operates without venture capital, turning ideas into revenue-generating startups entirely on his own terms. This podcast is the audio journal of that specific journey, focused on the craft of entrepreneurship and the tangible goal of hitting $100,000 in annual recurring revenue. You’ll hear Tiago’s own candid reflections-the wins, the setbacks, and the daily lessons learned while bootstrapping. The conversations extend beyond his own desk, featuring interviews with other entrepreneurs who understand the grind of building something from nothing. It’s a deep dive into the practical realities of independent creation, from product development and marketing to mindset and sustainable growth. Tuning into this podcast feels like getting real talk from a fellow maker who’s in the trenches, making it a valuable companion for anyone navigating the often solitary path of building a business with autonomy at its core. The focus remains squarely on actionable insights and shared experiences within the indie maker community.
