Growing up, Cliff’s dad would read him Harry Potter because he couldn't do it himself. Cliff’s dad was his hero. But without reading, Cliff couldn't become the person he wanted to be. So, he learned to code and created Speechify to read books to himself. Today, nearly 200 people around the globe work on Speechify in a 100% distributed setting – Speechify has no office.
