Subscription service for narrated long-form journalism
We built a mobile app that turns long-form print journalism into professionally narrated audio. Using voice actors, we create mini-audiobooks of news articles so users can listen instead of reading. It's designed for people who want to consume high-quality journalism on the go but don't have time to read.
We live and work across Los Angeles, New York, and remote. After YC, the company would remain distributed with hubs in LA and New York.
Our users and team are spread out on both coasts, so keeping a distributed setup lets us tap into talent and markets in both cities.
