Naomi Shah is the CEO and Founder of Meet Cute, a media company specializing in scripted podcasts, specifically romcoms. Naomi started Meet Cute out of Union Sq ventures where she was an investor looking for venture back-able businesses in consumer media. She just raised a $6M Series A from USV and Lerer Hippeau.

Meet Cute has a fascinating business model where they use 15 minute podcasts and the tight narrative structure of a standard romantic comedy to iterate on hundreds of different stories with hundreds of different writers, voice actors, and creators. Ultimately the goal is to create a library of scalable IP that their loyal audience can follow far beyond podcasts. Think Disney but for romantic comedies.

On the show we talk about that fast iteration on storytelling and the process behind it, how they built a killer brand, how to tell great stories.
