Riverside.fm is an AI-powered platform for remote recording, editing, and distribution of studio-quality audio and video content. Founded in 2020 by brothers Gideon and Nadav Keyson, the company serves a broad range of users - from independent podcast creators to major enterprise brands including Netflix, Disney, Microsoft, and Spotify. Its backers include Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian and investor Oren Zeev.
The platform's technical core spans several demanding domains: real-time rendering, intelligent editing, media processing, and distributed systems, all built on modern web technologies. A central part of Riverside's engineering focus is translating applied AI and cutting-edge research into production tools that handle the complexity of capturing and processing high-quality content from anywhere in the world.
The engineering culture is described as product-first and user-centered, with an emphasis on pragmatic decision-making - solving hard problems in distributed media without overengineering. The team prioritises shipping solid, usable solutions that respond directly to how creators and enterprise clients actually work.
