Riverside, founded by Dutch-born Keyson brothers, crosses $100M ARR

What happened? Riverside co-founder and CEO Nadav KeysonDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → said on 29 October 2026 that the podcast and video recording platform has passed $100M in annual recurring revenue. He cited 2.3 million creators, more than 16 million guests and over 40 million recorded conversations, and said 42% of Apple's top 100 podcasts use Riverside. His next target is $1B ARR ("we're 10% there"). These are company-reported figures; Riverside does not publish audited revenue.

Context: The Dutch-born Keyson brothers, who moved from the Netherlands to Israel, started Riverside in 2020 as a way to record studio-quality audio and video of remote conversations during the pandemic. It has since become an AI-assisted content creation suite used by brands such as Google, Microsoft and Marvel. Its $30M Series C in December 2024 was led by Oren Zeev's Zeev Ventures, with Alexis Ohanian's Seven Seven Six and Sam Lessin, and brought total funding to about $80M (TechCrunch, Ctech). At the time Keyson said the company was not yet profitable and aimed to be by the end of 2026.

Why it matters: Reaching $100M ARR on roughly $80M raised is capital-efficient for a creator-tools company, a category where many pandemic-era peers stalled. It also adds another Dutch-rooted founding team to the companies past nine figures in recurring revenue.
