Riverside started in 2020 as a remote podcast recording tool and has expanded into a broader podcast and video creation platform offering studio-quality recording, full HD live‑streaming, and editing tools in one place. Its product features include separate audio and video track recording with automatic backups, iOS and iPad apps, AI transcription supporting more than 100 languages, automatic clip creation, and an AI-powered editor that can replace or remove text in transcripts and reflect changes in audio/video. The company says these tools have cut editing time by roughly 80% for customers including Google, Microsoft, and Marvel, and creators recorded over 100 million minutes on the platform in 2024. Riverside has also added multi-destination streaming and custom branding, and expanded distribution via a deeper Spotify integration to offer in‑browser recording and editing. The startup employs roughly 160–170 people and plans to use new funding to hire AI and full‑stack engineers to build out its creator and video solutions. Riverside aims to become a one‑stop shop for video creation and is investing further in AI features to simplify editing workflows. The company is not currently profitable and aims to reach profitability by the end of 2026. Riverside is a remote podcast recording platform founded in 2019 that focuses on high-quality audio and video capture for content creators. The product is used daily by a growing number of creators and the company highlights both the quality and quantity of its user base. Riverside lists major media clients including The New York Times, Fox Sports, Marvel, iHeartMedia and Microsoft. The company is relatively small, with around 90 employees spread across Tel Aviv, New York and Amsterdam. Leadership says the new funding will be used to expand the team and further build out the platform to serve more creators. Riverside.fm is a remote audio and video recording platform that records lossless audio and 4K video tracks locally to each user’s system to avoid issues from spotty internet. The service targets podcasters and remote production teams seeking studio-quality remote recordings. The company has rolled out a new iPhone app that instantly records and uploads video, plus desktop features like Magic Editor to streamline recording, editing and uploading. It also added Smart Speakerview, which automatically switches between speakers while ignoring accidental noises. Riverside.fm plans to use its new funding to increase headcount and build additional features for the service. The company is Tel Aviv-based and was originally from Amsterdam. Riverside.fm offers a browser-based platform that records professional-quality video and audio for podcasters. The product records each participant's audio and video as separate local tracks, uploads recordings during the session and includes automatic backups to avoid data loss from browser or connection failures. It supports 4K video and uncompressed WAV audio and provides an interface for producers to monitor guests' equipment and adjust audio levels. Riverside.fm positions itself as a production-focused tool with cross-platform analytics rather than a distribution service. The startup recently came out of stealth and counts high-profile customers such as TechCrunch's parent Verizon Media, Hillary Clinton and Spotify. Riverside.fm has raised $2.5 million in seed funding led by Oren Zeev; the company was founded by brothers Nadav (CEO) and Gideon (CTO) Keyson.
