We see the Podcast Channel as a new hybrid media model enhancing the ability to host and pro-actively cater to producing and promoting programs.  

 

Our aim in addition to offering exceptional podcast programs is to craft dynamic new podcast products (original shows and contracted custom productions).  All this while we focus on building a following by giving direly needed exposure to existing shows that would thrive by being found on our channel.

 

This is a true opportunity for program content to get heard where distinctive talents and skills can produce programming that will bring market attention and create sustainable value for our portfolio.  Our efforts aim to satisfy our hosts, guests and savvy investors who imagine a great future for the Podcast Channel.

​

Our investment dev into the Podcast Channel will take a variety of forms.

 

We are about to do our first phase buildout raise and a in this round of funding our aim is to hire a pedigreed CTO and create the core team.

Startups are built in stages from idea to product-market fit and scale. And the kind of Podcast Channel Product and Engineering playbook we plan on implementing for our stage will make all the difference between hypergrowth and missing the boat.

Specifically, we are exploring how to:

- Determine the right Product & Engineering playbook for our company stage
- Build and scale world-class software teams
- Recruit and keep top talent
- Understand and motivate your developers
- Implement processes without losing speed and agility
- Measure R&D performance and key metrics for ongoing momentum

Often, we craft programs and partnerships with sellers who retain significant ongoing ownership into their podcast programs and share in future value creation alongside CD&R.
