Nomono is about to change podcasting as we know it with disruptive hardware and software. We’re a Norwegian tech-startup and lucky to be building a global brand where customer satisfaction is a key ingredient. Many challenges exist between recording and publishing. Getting ready and setting up equipment can feel like a time drain. Cables, microphones, and obtrusive stands get in the way of natural conversations. Laborious editing and audio cleanup distract you from being creative with the content. Faced with heaps of hurdles and complexities, even the most experienced creators sacrifice quality when crafting a story. We have created a portable recording studio that offers high quality audio recording and processing, consisting of a compact and easy to use recording kit (microphones, recording unit, charging station) controlled with a mobile app, as well as a web app supplying the ecosystem for processing it (offered as a SaaS solution). Recordings automatically sync to the cloud, and through machine learning you can clean out the sounds, remove background noise etc. A lot of great feedback from users, backing by large investors, and recently receiving the Innovation award in the audio category at SXSW 2023 is a great proof point that we are on the right track! Our main customers are broadcasting houses, agencies, journalists and independent podcasters, and our products are currently mainly shipped to customers in the US. We are a team of 37 (and growing) with expertise across signal processing, acoustics, consumer electronics and media production. Our headquarters is based in Trondheim, and we have a satellite office in Oslo and New York. We build hardware and software that is intuitive, collaborative and easy to use while delivering exceptional audio quality. Our vision is to make voices heard. We imagine a new way of audio production that is intuitive, creative, and collaborative from start to finish. We remove barriers between people and technology, producers and engineers, as well as hosts and guests — connecting the dots between stories and listeners. At Nomono, we are committed to transparency, to all voices being heard and to having fun at work. We try to live our values, and have created different squads to promote this: - Sustainability squad - Privacy squad & compliance board - Diversity & Inclusion squad We believe that boring stuff should be automated, that things can always improve and that a human touch is fundamental to a great customer experience. We’d love for you to join us and help them out, wherever they are and on whatever channel they want to connect. We plan to be the best in class and hope that you share our ambition..

Admin By Request is revolutionizing the Privileged Access Management (PAM) market which take the bureaucracy and administrative pains out of managing a company's IT portfolio - no matter the size of the company. Usually Privileged Access Management entails a lot of administrative work as well as words like "whitelisted software" - with great frustration among both users and IT-admins. As a user you might actually need a specific piece of software that's not on the whitelist. As an IT-admin you'll probably want to spend your hours doing something else than constantly black- and whitelisting software and rules for different user groups - because as it turns out: one size does not fit all. At Admin By Request, we're convinced that this task can be solved much more efficient by minimizing the amount of rules - and instead letting the users ask for just-in-time access to cover their needs. IT-admins can quickly approve or deny requests - and get back to creating real value. Privileged Access Management is named the top project to reduce cyber security risks. That's where we come in. By creating an easy-to-use solution with a minimum of administration and bureaucracy, we believe we can make PAM accessible to everyone.
