We thought it would take years before AI could replace a podcast host. That is, until founder Edward Brawer slid into Josh’s DMs to pitch his startup, Podcast AI. Edward thinks he can make podcast producers 10x more productive and he already signed two big name podcasters. Now can he convince the big name investors that Podcast AI will deliver 100x returns?
Featured #investors are Charles Hudson at Precursor Ventures, Pascal Unger at Focal.vc, Mac Conwell at Rarebreed Ventures, Beck Bamberger at Bad Ideas Group, and Elizabeth Yin at @HustleFund
