The Pitch is hosted by Josh Muccio, who brought the independent podcast to Gimlet in 2017. The show has been downloaded tens of millions of times since. Then in 2022, after the sale of Gimlet Media to Spotify, Josh purchased The Pitch back from Spotify, took the podcast independent again, and made it available on all platforms. "The Pitch will keep you hooked." – Brian Solomon, Forbes "It’s addictive listening. I’ve been burning through the episodes." – Andy Dehnart, Reality Blurred In the early days of building a startup, founders make critical decisions that will shape their companies for years to come. The Pitch takes you behind closed doors and into the the world of startups: how people sell their ideas, what makes investors tick, and how these initial conversations can bloom into business deals—or die on the vine.
