Most companies don’t have a lead problem — they have a funnel problem.
Behind the Funnel is a business podcast that breaks down how B2B companies actually acquire customers and scale revenue. Hosted by Yarek Matacz, founder of JPM Media, the show goes beyond surface-level marketing advice to explore the real systems, strategies, and decisions that drive predictable growth.
Each episode features conversations with SaaS founders, operators, consultants, and B2B leaders who are actively building and scaling companies. Instead of theory or generic “growth hacks,” these discussions unpack the acquisition engines behind real businesses — from outbound systems and paid acquisition to funnel architecture, offer design, and sales processes.
Listeners will hear what worked, what failed, and what ultimately helped companies build consistent pipelines and sustainable growth.
Behind the Funnel is designed for founders, consultants, and operators who want to understand how modern B2B companies turn attention into revenue. If you’re building a SaaS product, scaling a consulting business, or developing a go-to-market strategy, this podcast offers a practical look at how growth actually happens behind the scenes.
Expect thoughtful conversations, tactical insights, and honest breakdowns of the systems that power real businesses.
New episodes feature founders, marketers, and operators sharing what it really takes to turn leads into customers and ideas into scalable companies.
Solo or small team? Then you know the drill: 40 chat threads, half-finished docs, and no clear next step. In this episode, Samim Safaei, co-founder of SIIFT.AI, breaks down how their “Founder’s Compass” turns messy ideas into structured, repeatable validation — without losing speed.
We cover:
- Why generic chat tools say “yes” to everything — and how SIIFT removes the fluff
- The real blocker: information architecture (not another app)
- Guided chat plus a structured canvas: brain dump in, clean strategy out
- What beta users taught the team about UX, education, and overwhelm
- Partnerships with accelerators and mentors to scale guidance (not replace it)
- Privacy and IP: why paying for software beats paying with your data
- Go-to-market goals, pricing philosophy, and where SIIFT goes next
