#118 Uncovered: The Business of True Crime


Listen Later

If you're murdered in the US, there's only a 57% chance your killer will be found. Jim Brown aims to change this statistic by enabling the massive true crime community to solve cold cases on his website Uncovered.com. But mysterious circumstances in the studio lead us to a question. Can a media company produce venture scale returns by… solving murders?

Today’s investors are Elizabeth Yin, Erica Wenger, Jillian Manus, Martin Tobias and Charles Hudson.

To learn more about Jim's crime solving startup and the investors featured on this episode, check out the Uncovered show page. If you want to go deeper on each company featured on the show, subscribe to our newsletter The Pitch Insider.
