The Pitch is an American podcast hosted by Josh Muccio, produced in partnership with Vox Media. [5] The show features entrepreneurs in need of venture funding as they pitch to a live panel of investors, [6] similar to ABC's hit TV series Shark Tank . [7] Billed as, "A show where real entrepreneurs pitch to real investors—for real money", the podcast aims to capture the essence of what happens when entrepreneurs pitch investors. [2]

History

The first episode of The Pitch premiered on June 21, 2015, with investor Sheel Mohnot appearing as Muccio's cohost. [8] In September 2016, it was announced that the second season of the podcast would begin airing in 2017 and feature a panel of VC's making investment decisions on the spot. [9] In June 2017, it was announced that The Pitch had joined Gimlet Media. [10] They produced eight seasons of the show with Gimlet from 2017 to 2020. [1]

Then in July 2022, after the sale of Gimlet Media to Spotify, [11] host Josh Muccio purchased The Pitch back from Gimlet for an undisclosed sum. [12] Four months later it was announced that the show had signed a new partnership with Vox Media. [13] The podcast would remain independently owned and produced while Vox would handle sales, marketing and distribution. [5]
