A Message from our Founders

Dear Partners, Creators, and Friends,

Today, we’re launching INaudio: the world’s audiobook partner.

Audiobooks are in our DNA — we both have long histories in this industry, and we’re passionate about the format and the people who create it. What started as a casual catch-up last year has evolved into a shared vision for an open and thriving community that offers expansive opportunities for audiobook creators and providers.

So we’re building INaudio as an independent company dedicated to powering the global audiobook ecosystem. Whether you're a publisher, retailer, or independent author, our mission is to empower you with tools and technology to grow your audiobook business. 

We’re starting from a strong foundation: INaudio’s platform will be made up of a suite of audiobook distribution services currently operated by Spotify, including tools for publishers and retailers as well as the Voices platform. Spotify will transition this infrastructure to INaudio on August 1, and in the meantime, we’re here to ensure everyone has a great experience. If you're currently using these services, rest assured: we’re partnering closely with Spotify to make the transition as seamless as possible, requiring minimal (if any) action from you. 

After August 1, we’re off to the races together. We’re excited to add new tools and features to the platform and help drive this industry forward. To make that happen, we’ve built a stellar (and growing!) team of smart, entrepreneurial people bound together by shared principles:

• Inventive: We move fast, think creatively, and play offense to solve problems. We believe better is always out there.
• Invested: We’re committed to each other as a team and to our partners and their growth. Shared wins build lasting momentum.
• Inspired: We fuel our work with passion not only for the love of storytelling, but also for the people that make up this space. 
• Intentional: We’re focused, thoughtful, and purpose-driven, making every move count — because how we do it matters as much as what we do.

This is a new chapter, but our story is rooted in something familiar. You may know us from our days at Findaway, where we helped revolutionize the way audiobooks are created, distributed, and enjoyed. INaudio will build on that legacy, driven by the same relentless innovation and deep industry relationships that made Findaway a trusted force in the world of audiobooks. Our deep roots in the audiobook space mean we have a unique perspective to help grow your business.

Our industry is growing and changing as more people than ever are engaging with audiobooks. At INaudio, we’re embracing that momentum and helping to shape the future. Whether you're an indie author looking to get your audiobook heard, a publisher seeking smarter distribution, or a retailer ready to expand your offering — INaudio is here to power your success.

We couldn’t be more excited to begin this journey with you. Welcome IN.
