Founder Views - SaaS, Business, and Beyond

In this episode I’m speaking with Robert Zalaudek, founder and CEO of Pomodus. This episode is a little bit different than what you might be used to - Robert is just starting out in the SaaS space. He’s developing an app called Pomodus, which integrates with Slack and helps you stay productive and focused.

I wanted to get Robert on the podcast, because a lot of my listeners are early stage SaaS founders, just like Robert. So i thought it would be helpful for other folks in similar positions to hear Robert’s journey and what he’s done to not only build Pomodus, validate the idea, but also what’s he’s doing to market it, and gain the initial traction to get the business off the ground.

I know that part is often a struggle for a lot of early stage founders out there, and Robert does a great job of providing actionable ideas and insights.

We get into quite a few specifics including how he plans to leverage Product Hunt for his launch, other marketing tactics he’s going to use to help gain initial traction, and what other startup founders should avoid! This was a really great episode, with a ton of really great insights. Enjoy!

What is Founder Views - SaaS, Business, and Beyond?

Founder Views is a podcast for SaaS builders who want real conversations, not recycled playbooks.

Hosted by Kosta Panagoulias, a 2x SaaS founder, the show features in-the-trenches conversations with SaaS CEOs, operators, and experts. Each episode digs into the decisions, strategies, wins, and struggles that shape real companies - practical insights from people actively building, not theorizing.

While the core focus is SaaS growth, leadership, and execution, the podcast also leaves room for broader discussions that help founders think better - whether that’s economics, technology, markets, or other big-picture business topics.

If you want raw, easy-to-follow conversations with people who've actually built something, you’ll feel right at home.
