Artifact

Artifact is a San Francisco, California-based digital media company that produces professional, studio-quality personal podcasts and private audio documentaries by conducting and editing remote interviews with everyday individuals. The platform connects consumer and corporate clients with a distributed network of professional journalists and interviewers to capture life stories, preserve family histories, and document significant personal milestones. Operating through both consumer and commercial sales channels, the enterprise charges flat fees for specific interview packages, recording sessions, and comprehensive audio editing services. The organization has raised $5 million in Seed funding to date, supported by recognizable institutional investors including Google Ventures and Goodwater Capital. Following its initial consumer focus, the company expanded its operations in 2023 to offer custom audio content and internal podcasts for corporate teams. Artifact was founded in 2020 by Ross Chanowski, George Quraishi, and Monik Sanghvi.
