Eric Boduch, cofounder of Pendo, appeared on the podcast *The Side Quest* on May 5, 2026, where he discussed his venture studio 24 and up. He described the studio as an "unpaid co-founder" that helps entrepreneurs prototype, test ideas, build initial products, find design partners and customers, and raise funding over a 24-month period.
