About Podme

Podme, founded in 2017 in Sweden, aims to transform the audio content landscape by providing an alternative revenue stream for podcast creators. At its inception, the company recognized the limitations of traditional funding models—donations, sponsorships, and ads—especially for unique, story-driven podcasts focusing on crime and drama. This insight led to the creation of a platform dedicated to empowering creators by enabling them to devote more time to their craft without compromising on quality.

By focusing on improving the quality and diversity of podcasts, Podme seeks to unlock the full potential of podcast entertainment, effectively broadening its appeal and audience reach. The platform includes a curated selection of content such as humor, conversational, and emotionally engaging stories, turning everyday routines into enriching experiences.

Podme last received a Seed Round investment on 16 June 2020, backed by Gorilla Capital. This backing underscores investor confidence in its vision and potential for scalability in the burgeoning audio content industry.
