Riverside is an online software for remote audio and video recording, editing, and production.[1][2]

History

[edit]

Riverside was founded in 2020 by brothers Gideon and Nadav Keyson, originally from the Netherlands, as a platform for remote audio and video recording.[3][4][5] It was released in March 2020,[6] shortly before global lockdowns forced many content creators and broadcasters to work remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7][8] Later, Riverside was used by Hillary Clinton, Bill Gates, Michelle Obama, Kara Swisher, and Mark Zuckerberg.[8][9]

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.[10][11][7] In August 2021, Riverside released its app for the iPhone.[12]

In April 2022, Riverside raised $35 million in a Series B round, led by Zeev Ventures.[13][14] By 2022, Riverside had offices in New York and Amsterdam as well.[8]

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.[15] In December 2024, Riverside received an additional $30 million in Series C funding, again led by Zeev Ventures.[3][16][17]

Platform

[edit]

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.[18][19]

Riverside records locally, saving audio and video directly on users' devices before uploading them to the cloud, to avoid Internet disruptions.[20] It captures separate tracks for each user with up to 4K video and uncompressed WAV audio.[20]

Riverside uses artificial intelligence (AI) to assist with editing and noise management.[9] Its Editor uses AI to automatically detect speaking segments and transitions between speakers.[9] Other features include automated transcription and text-based editing, which let users make text edits that simultaneously adjust the corresponding audio and video segments.[19][21] Additionally, the "Magic Clips" feature automatically generates shorter clips from full-length recordings for social media.[10][22] Riverside also supports live streaming of shows and online radio broadcasts.[23]

Riverside is accessible through web and mobile applications.[9][21]
