Background

Anchor was founded in 2015 by Michael Mignano and Nir Zicherman.[6] The company first launched as a social audio service geared for short-form content. In February 2018, Anchor launched an updated version of the platform specifically for creating and publishing podcasts.[7]

In February 2019 Anchor was acquired by Spotify and operates as a subdivision of the streaming company.[6][8]
