About
Why we built it
Nadia ran content and social for a podcast network for six years. Every week the team recorded two or three hours of genuinely good conversation and turned it into a single episode upload. The shareable moments, the clips that would have stopped a scroll or earned a share, went nowhere because finding them and rewriting them for every platform took five hours the team did not have.
That is not a niche problem. It is the default state for anyone who records long: podcasters, founders doing video, webinar teams, course creators. They have hours of material and a fraction of it ever reaches the people who would have wanted it.
Theo spent eight years building language systems for long-form text, most recently summarization and retrieval over transcripts. When the two of them described the problem to each other, the shape of the solution was clear: read the whole transcript the way a good editor would, find the moments worth pulling out, and rewrite each one for the platform it belongs on, in the creator's own voice.
We are careful about what we claim. Verso finds moments and rewrites them. Every output is a rewrite of something the creator actually said, quoted verbatim from the transcript. Verso does not invent. You decide what gets published.
The team
Five of them are below. Everyone is based in the United States and nobody here has a second job: Verso is what we do.
Co-founder and CEO
Austin, TX
Ran content and social for a podcast network for six years and watched great hour-long episodes turn into a single upload while the best ten minutes never left the file. Verso is the team she wished she had had.
Co-founder and CTO
Austin, TX
Spent eight years building language systems for long-form text, most recently summarization and retrieval over transcripts. He owns the moment-detection pipeline, the model routing layer and the voice-matching that keeps every output sounding like the creator.
Founding Product Engineer
Austin, TX
Builds the output board, which is the whole product. Her rule: a creator should be able to copy something worth posting within thirty seconds of a project finishing, without editing a word if they do not want to.
Founding Engineer
Remote, US
Works on the parts nobody sees: transcript ingestion that survives a messy caption file, timestamp alignment so a clip points at the right ninety seconds, and the queue that keeps a two-hour episode inside one request.
Head of Creator Growth
Brooklyn, NY
Ten years editing and packaging short-form video for creators. She owns the corpus of what actually earns a watch: how a hook has to land in the first second, why a caption reads differently than a script, and where a thread breaks.
The people and investors named on this page are illustrative. Verso is a demonstration company and we would rather say so plainly than have you find out later. Everything about the product is real: the repurposing engine, the voice matching and the free tier all work as described.
The company
Backed by
We raised $900,000 at Pre-Seed in May 2025, led by Frame Rate Ventures, and it is spent on the product rather than on advertising it.
