Peter Birsinger is the founder and CEO of Podscribe, an ad verification and attribution platform that uses a mix of AI and human review to confirm that podcast and YouTube ads actually ran and to measure the ROI they drive. A UC Berkeley electrical engineering and applied math graduate, he wrote code at Cisco Meraki and led R&D engineering at Tapad before co-founding the podcast app Podible in 2016 and then launching Podscribe in 2019. He turned the unglamorous problem of proving an audio ad was read aloud into a measurement company that transcribes every episode, labels the ads, and ties listens to conversions.
