Season 2 Powered by EQT Corporation
Backtest continues to grow in 2026 with more research, sharper storytelling, and bigger reach—now with the support of our Season 2 presenting partner, EQT
Our mission is to surface actionable insights from market history. We tell the stories of major turning points and how key players navigated them.
We launched the show in 2025 because we love Acquired and Founders, and we wanted a similar show for market history.
2025 was about landing the format. 2026 is about spreading the word.
That’s why we’re partnering with EQT Corporation to bring you Season 2 of Backtest.
Every technological breakthrough in history rides on infrastructure—canals, railroads, electricity, fiber. In the AI era, infrastructure increasingly depends on energy, and EQT is building and modernizing the natural gas ecosystem to enable affordable, reliable power at scale.
This partnership helps us keep doing what we do best—hundreds of research hours, sharp storytelling, and lessons you can apply—while expanding our reach and connecting our community to the infrastructure story behind the AI boom.
We’re grateful for EQT’s support, and we thank you, the Backtest community, for joining the journey to build the go-to podcast for market history.
Stay tuned for our first episode of Season 2 later this week. Spoiler alert: we may have to wear blue dress shirts with white collars and suspenders to really land this story.
