Async (formerly Podcastle) empowers creators and teams by radically simplifying the end-to-end content creation process. The streamlined suite of AI-powered tools enables users to record, edit, transcribe, and publish audio and video content with unmatched simplicity. Originally founded in 2020 as a Chrome extension that instantly converted articles into podcasts, the platform rapidly evolved based on market demand into a full creative operating system used by millions. This product excellence has been recognized with the tech world’s most coveted awards: Product Hunt’s Golden Kitty Award (2021), The Webby Award (2022), and G2’s Overall Market Leader (2023) status. Backed by Tier-1 investors including Andrew Ng’s AI Fund, Mosaic Ventures, RTP Global, Point Nine, and Sierra Ventures, the company closed a $13.5M Series A in 2024 to scale its AI content creation platform. Today, the Async app is available on the web and iOS, allowing creators to record or conduct remote interviews straight from their iPhone.
