Knowable was a mobile audio-learning company that united world-class experts, thinkers, and storytellers to produce structured audio courses for curious minds — an "audio courses" take on online learning delivered as serialized lessons rather than one-off podcasts. Founded by the Bit Kitchen team and backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z led its round in May 2019), Knowable published expert-led course series across business, creativity, and personal development. The company is no longer operational: knowable.fyi now serves a tombstone notice stating that Knowable has been acquired by Medium and directing former listeners to Medium.com. Knowable never published a public developer program, API, SDKs, or developer documentation, and its GitHub organization (bitkitchen) exposes no public repositories. This profile is retained in the API Evangelist network as a historical company record from the a16z portfolio; there is no live API surface to catalog.
