The Transistor story so far
Jon Buda and Justin Jackson met in Portland in 2014 at the XOXO Festival.
They were both into podcasting: Jon had built an early podcast hosting tool, and Justin had a podcast. They ended up hanging out quite a bit that week. In the following years, they met up numerous times and even built a few small projects together.
Fast forward to 2017. Jon was building a new podcast hosting platform for his employer to use. They started talking about teaming up and launching it to the public together.
They signed a partnership document in February 2018 and officially launched on August 1, 2018.
They podcasted publicly about their startup story: every week, they recorded a new episode and shared their experience building a company from the ground up.
In 2021, we hired Helen and Jason. In 2023, we hired Josh. In 2024, we hired Michael.
Today, we're a small (but mighty) team of six people.
Today, we serve over 30,000 podcasts of all types. Our customers include indie podcasters, small businesses, and enterprise companies.
