Captivate.fm

Since 2013, our team has been innovating podcast technology to help serious creators just like you to grow their audience, save time, and to monetize their audio influence.

We are a team of thinkers, designers, engineers, and, most importantly, podcasters. Captivate was created by frustrated indie podcasters to satisfy the needs of growth-hungry creators like you and to bring the innovation, quality, and technology only previously available to "big" podcasters to everyone.

It's been quite the journey. From our founders' early visions to the humble beginnings of a startup to the industry-leading and trusted hosting platform that is enabling podcasters all over the world to produce, manage, grow and monetize their podcast.
