Origin Story

By Justin Jackson & Jon Buda

The Problem

Existing podcast hosts were either expensive enterprise tools or DIY-feeling indie products. Justin and Jon wanted something professional that solo podcasters and big media companies could both use.

Building It

Launched in 2018, grew steadily on the strength of a transparent revenue dashboard and Justin's marketing platform.

What It Means

A model for two-person bootstrapped SaaS in a category many people thought required scale.

The Dream

Be the podcast platform serious podcasters quietly recommend to each other.
