Riverside is an online software for remote audio and video recording, editing, and production.[1][2][3]
History
[edit | edit source]Riverside was founded in 2020 by brothers Gideon and Nadav Keyson, originally from the Netherlands, as a platform for remote audio and video recording.[4][5][6] It was released in March 2020,[7] shortly before global lockdowns forced many content creators and broadcasters to work remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[8][9] Later, Riverside was used by Hillary Clinton, Bill Gates, Michelle Obama, Kara Swisher, and Mark Zuckerberg.[9][10]
In April 2021, Riverside completed a $9.5 million Series A funding round led by Alexis Ohanian’s Seven Seven Six, with participation from Casey Neistat, Marques Brownlee, Guy Raz, and Elad Gil, following earlier seed funding from Zeev Ventures.[11][12][8] In August 2021, Riverside released its app for the iPhone.[13]
In April 2022, Riverside raised $35 million in a Series B round, led by Zeev Ventures.[14][15] By 2022, Riverside had offices in New York and Amsterdam as well.[9]
In February 2024, Riverside and Spotify formed a partnership; as a result, Riverside’s software features were embedded into Spotify for Podcasters as an optional workflow, and Spotify discontinued its Music + Talk, Record with Friends, and Voice Message features.[16] In December 2024, Riverside received an additional $30 million in Series C funding, again led by Zeev Ventures.[4][17][18]
Platform
[edit | edit source]Riverside is a cloud-based software for remote audio and video recording, editing, and production. It allows users to initiate sessions, invite participants, and capture recordings remotely.[19][20]
Riverside records locally, saving audio and video directly on users' devices before uploading them to the cloud, to avoid Internet disruptions.[21] It captures separate tracks for each user with up to 4K video and uncompressed WAV audio.[21]
Riverside uses artificial intelligence (AI) to assist with editing and noise management.[10] Its Editor uses AI to automatically detect speaking segments and transitions between speakers.[10] Other features include automated transcription and text-based editing, which let users make text edits that simultaneously adjust the corresponding audio and video segments.[20][22] Additionally, the "Magic Clips" feature automatically generates shorter clips from full-length recordings for social media.[11][23] Riverside also supports live streaming of shows and online radio broadcasts.[2]
Riverside is accessible through web and mobile applications.[10][22]
