You know how some people say, ā€œDon’t bragā€? Well, today we’re making an exception. Because when Feedspot ranks you the No. 1 Startup Podcast in Germany, it’s kind of rude notĀ to shout it from the rooftops, right? šŸ“£

That’s right. Startuprad.ioĀ has just topped the charts on Feedspot’s list of the 20 Best Deutschland Startup Podcasts. But hold our startup-branded coffee mugs ā˜•ļø — we didn’t stop there. Two of our spinoff shows also made the list:

  • šŸ„‡ Fintech Germany Podcast – Ranked #4. For those who like their venture capital with a side of APIs and regulation.

  • šŸ’Ŗ Women Who Rock GSA – In the Top 10, proving that female-led innovation in the DACH region is not just powerful — it rocks. Literally.


šŸŽÆ For the Founders, the Funders, and the Curious Googlers


Let’s be honest: if you searched for startup podcast Germany, top startup podcast DACH, or fintech startup podcast Germany, you were probably trying to find us anyway šŸ˜. And if you’re into women entrepreneurs podcast EuropeĀ or want insight into the DACH startup ecosystem, well… look what the algorithm brought in.

This isn’t just about winning rankings. It’s about being consistently useful, relevant, and realĀ for the startup crowd that actually builds things — and the ones backing them.


🧠 A Quick Reminder of Who We Are (In Case the Feedspot Glory Made You Forget)


We’ve been telling stories of startups before your favorite VC had a blue checkmark. We don’t chase trends — we highlight the people creating them. From seed round survivors to Series B beasts, from Munich deep tech to Vienna fintech — we’re there.


So when Feedspot handed us the gold medal for Germany’s top startup podcast, we weren’t surprised. But we wereĀ grateful. Especially since our interviews keep showing up in Google results for:

  • German startup investment podcast

  • Female founder podcast DACH

  • Scaleup stories Germany

  • …and other terms we may or may not whisper lovingly into Google Search Console at night šŸ’¤


šŸŒ One Eye on DACH, the Other on Global


Yes, we’re big in Berlin. But also in Boston, Bangalore, and Buenos Aires. Because innovation isn’t local anymore. It’s distributed, like your favorite SaaS team. Startuprad.io is on track to becoming one of the Top 20 Global Podcasts in Entrepreneurship, and this recognition? It’s one more step.
