Episode 26 Featuring We're Not Marketers | Figma Stock Tanks and LinkedIn Kills Another Startup

Episode 26 of Notorious B2B is a full crossover mashup with the We’re Not Marketers crew. With Tim off at Inbound, Tas ropes in Zach, Eric, and Gab for a live reaction pod to the week’s wildest B2B stories. First up: Figma’s shares plunge 20% post-IPO as lofty valuations meet reality. The crew debates whether B2B’s obsession with inflated ROI claims is to blame. Then it’s on to LinkedIn axing Amplemarket, another $12M startup banned for automation and scraping, signaling the crackdown is far from over. From there, sparks fly in product marketing land: Fletch PMM’s spicy take on strategic narratives triggers counterpoints (and Eric’s own wrecking-ball comment). And in Big Prompt Energy, we cover Salesforce’s weak AI returns, Atlassian’s $610M bet on AI browsers, and the FTC’s investigation into Meta’s disturbing AI child safety leaks.
