Built in the Bay — Founder Podcast Applications

​Built in the Bay is a new independent podcast and media series focused exclusively on founders building in San Francisco and across the Bay Area.

​We record thoughtful 20–30 minute conversations about what you’re building, why you started, the hardest problem you’re solving, and what you believe is coming next. We’re especially interested in AI, software, infrastructure, robotics, fintech, deep tech, and emerging technology.

​This page is an application to be considered as a guest, not an invitation to a public meetup or live event. There is no fee to apply or participate. We review each submission and invite a limited number of founders whose work and perspective fit the series.

​If selected, we’ll contact you directly to coordinate a recording time. The San Francisco recording location will be shared privately with confirmed guests.

​Apply if you are a founder or co-founder currently building in San Francisco or the Bay Area and have a clear story, point of view, or hard-earned lesson worth sharing.
