01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Aria built an audio and video editor that worked like a document, aimed at podcasters, vloggers, and content creators: it generated captions automatically, let users upload a full podcast episode with one tap, and edited audio or video by editing text. The startup was backed by angel investors including Harry Stebbings, Hugo Amsellem, Alexis Bonillo, and Antoine Martin, and raised a pre-seed round around October 2022. It has since shut down.
