The Startup Sh*tshow was started to showcase the real behind-the-scenes look into the business startup world. Starting a business and the journey through the entrepreneurial process includes its ups and downs, victories, disasters, backstabbing, underhandedness, and of course shit shows.

We wanted to showcase true startup stories. We can’t think of a single business that didn’t grow through tough times. This show is for everyday business owners, solopreneurs, Etsy store owners, and the like. If you’re trying to get a business up and running smoothly this show is for you. As you might imagine starting a business is a messy process. It’s our aim to help you navigate these uncertain times. Sprinkle in a little hope and levity and you have a recipe for a great show!
