**APIs profiled:** 0

Anchor FM was a podcast creation, hosting, distribution, and monetization platform founded in 2015 that let anyone record, edit, publish, and monetize a podcast for free from a phone or browser. Spotify acquired Anchor in 2019 and folded the product into Spotify for Podcasters, later rebranded Spotify for Creators; the anchor.fm domain now redirects to creators.spotify.com. Anchor never published a public developer API or developer portal, so this API Evangelist profile carries company identity and domain-security posture only. Originally surfaced as a portfolio company of Accel (consumer sector).
