Welcome to SaaS That App: Building B2B Web Applications!
The podcast for those who are building or thinking about starting a tech-enabled business, especially a SaaS.
We dive deep into the real stories behind tech startups—how they got started, the challenges they faced, and the lessons learned along the way. Each episode brings you practical advice, business takeaways, and insights into the tech solutions that actually work (not just the shiny new ones).
Whether you’re in the trenches of a growing business or just starting out with your next big idea, you can learn from the stories of people who’ve been there, done that, and have the teeshirt to prove it.
Join Delta’s own Chief Information Officer Justin Edwards and Head of Engineering Aaron Marchbanks every week for a mix of real-world advice, technical deep dives, and lots of bad puns to help you build your tech business faster and smarter instead of harder.
