Investment Spotlight: PodcastAI, Cohort 5

PodcastAI is a SaaS tool that transcribes, timestamps, translates, generates chapters, and hosts a searchable content library

Investments

Founder University is excited to announce our investment in PodcastAI.

PodcastAI is a SaaS tool that transcribes, timestamps, translates, generates chapters, and hosts a searchable content library for your podcast.

How It Works:

  • Upload an MP3 file
  • The file is automatically transcribed (30 seconds for a 60-minute episode)
  • AI then generates titles, descriptions, and chapters
  • Episodes are stored in a searchable content library

We first met Edward on Twitter after seeing him build in public, and then invited him to join our upcoming cohort of Founder University.

During the 12-week program, we were particularly impressed with their product velocity. Each week, the team implemented new features to get them to their v1.

After seeing this weekly progress, getting a product demo, and trying out the product, we decided to invest $25k.

The team is currently onboarding users off their waitlist. If you want to try the product, visit podcastai.com.
