Resound.fm operates as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) company, providing an artificial intelligence-powered audio editing application for the podcasting market. The company was formally established in 2021 by Jacob Bozarth and Mark Minnery. The founders' journey began at Resonate Recordings, a podcast production agency they also co-founded, where they experienced the time-consuming nature of manual audio editing. This firsthand experience led them to develop an internal tool in 2020 to automate their workflows, which evolved into the public-facing Resound.fm platform.
The firm's primary clients are podcast creators, ranging from amateurs to professionals, as well as businesses and networks involved in podcast production. The business model is subscription-based, offering several tiered plans, including a free option with limited features and paid tiers that provide more processing hours and advanced capabilities. Revenue is generated through these monthly and annual subscriptions. On July 18, 2022, the company secured $1.35 million in a pre-seed funding round from investors including Render Capital, Keyhorse Capital, and Bluegrass Angels.
Resound's core product is an AI-driven web application designed to streamline the podcast post-production process. Key features include the automatic detection and removal of filler words like "ums" and "ahs," as well as long silences, using proprietary machine learning models. The platform also offers an "Enhance" feature for mixing and mastering audio, which adjusts levels and removes background noise to meet broadcast standards. Users can upload single or multiple audio tracks, review the AI-suggested edits, and then export the final file in various formats, including WAV, MP3, and AAF for further editing in professional digital audio workstations. The platform is designed for ease of use, requiring no prior audio editing experience.
