Podcast recording platform Riverside.fm raises $9.5M

The past year has changed the way we work, on so many levels -- a fact from which podcasters certainly weren’t immune. Tel Aviv-based Riverside.fm (originally from Amsterdam) launched right on time to ride the remote podcasting wave, and today the service is announcing a $9.5 million Series A. The round is led by Seven Seven Six and features Zeev-ventures.com, Casey Neistat, Marques Brownlee, Guy Raz, Elad Gil and Alexander Klöpping. “As a creator myself, I can say from experience that Riversides quality is unmatched and the new editing capabilities are peerless.” Riverside.fm is a remote video and audio platform that records lossless audio and 4K video tracks remotely to each user’s system, saving the end result from the kind of technical hiccups that come with spotty internet connections. Given how quickly the company was able to piece their original offering together, it will be interesting to see what theyre able to do with an additional $9.5 million in their coffers.
