That entire article seems like the same person doing the questions and answers "What makes you so resilient against failure and so damn charming?" But seriously I dont take issue with the concept of those kind of conversions, the problem I have is they tend muddy search results.

Huh? There are no sorts of leading/praising questions like that in the article. If anything, I found the questions to be very generic and templatized - which again isn't a bad thing and seems to fit the profile of the overall site (a resource for young startups/curious entrepreneurs)

The questions (for those who won't click through):

"What's your background, and what are you currently working on?" "What's your backstory and how did you come up with the idea?" "How did you build Wavve?" "Which were your marketing strategies to grow your business?" "What are your goals for the future?" "What were the biggest challenges you faced and obstacles you overcame?" "Which are your greatest disadvantages? What were your worst mistakes?" "If you had the chance to do things differently, what would you do?"

I must be thick but... I have no idea what their product does after reading the interview. Can someone explain it for the rest of us?

Sure! Previously, podcasters and musicians didn't have a very engaging way to share audio on social media. We built Wavve so creators can easily convert audio files into a branded video with an animated waveform. Here's our Twitter and Instagram accounts with some examples of what's possible: https://www.instagram.com/getwavve https://twitter.com/wavve

Thanks. Do you generate the subtitles as well with text to speech or do the creators upload the transcript themselves?

> Wavve automatically generates a transcription of your audio and makes adding captions to generated videos a breeze.
