We thought it would take years before AI could replace a podcast host. That is, until founder Edward Brawer slid into Josh’s DMs to pitch his startup, PodcastAI. Edward thinks he can make podcast producers 10x more productive and he already signed two big name podcasters. Now can he convince the big name investors that PodcastAI will deliver 100x returns?

Pitch number seven.
People have a lot of fears about AI, that it's going to get too smart and take over the world, that it'll be used for nefarious purposes, or just that it's coming for all our jobs.
I can't say I was too concerned about the job thing.
I am a podcast host, after all.
You kind of need the real thing, right?
But then I got an email from a company called Podcast AI, and I wondered if my time had finally come.
But I decided to risk it for the biscuit and take the call.
And to my surprise, by the end of it, I was ready to welcome our new AI overlords.
Not only had I signed up as a customer of podcast AI, I also invited the founder Edward to come pitch on our show.
But it's one thing for Edward to close a podcaster.
It's another thing entirely to convince five discerning VC's that your AI startup can rise above the noise.
I'm the real Josh Mucchio for now.
Welcome to the pitch where real founders pitch to real investors for real money.
Let's meet the investors.
Elizabeth Yin with hustle fund.
Do you love the problem you're working on?
Charles Hudson with precursor Ventures.
I wish that had been your open.
That was so good.
Pascal Unger with focal VC.
