THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE PLATFORM

A code-first
world.

We build software that empowers human decision-making and frees up time to think.

From our home in Oslo, we help companies across Europe make sense of the world—and act in time.

Critical insights.
Any time, any place, any device.

Our mission is to streamline human–machine interaction. We believe people are uniquely good at connecting information, seeing the big picture, and deciding what matters.

But our attention is under constant attack—from companies competing for our eyeballs to software that takes longer to set up than the problem it solves.

We build software that handles the details, so people can focus on what they do best.

02THE STORY SO FAR
FROM AN IDEA TO SOMETHING REAL.

A small team, a clear conviction, and the belief that the tools we use every day can be better.

Built from scratch.
Built for the long run.

  1. Founded

    The founding team takes the leap, leaving their jobs to build novem from the ground up.

  2. Accelerate

    Novem gets $500k in accelerator support from StartupLab and Antler, validating the novem idea and preparing for growth.

  3. Pre-Seed

    More capital, more people, more speed. Novem raises $1.3mn to supercharge the journey.

  4. Global growth

    Expanding our presence with people on the ground in both London and Palo Alto.

03OUR VALUES
THE WAY WE BUILD MATTERS.

People first.
Open by design.

We’re building a sustainable company through open standards, internet privacy, and fair wages. These are the principles we build on.

Attention is the currency of the future
The world is moving ever faster, with record numbers of data, messages, and events every day. Our attention is under constant attack. We create software that protects your focus, so you can concentrate on what truly matters.
People-first software
We use smart data and machine learning to deal with the details, allowing people to focus on what they do best: synthesizing information, seeing the big picture, and creative problem-solving.
Open standards
We stand on the shoulders of giants. The protocols, standards, and hard work done by millions of volunteers across the planet is what has allowed us to create our platform. We commit to giving back and supporting open standards.
Internet privacy
Your data is yours. We commit to protecting your privacy and building systems that respect your rights. No tracking, no selling data, no compromises on your digital security.
Fair wages
Too little of the value generated in today's society goes to the people doing the job and building the tools. We're committed to fair compensation and ensuring that those who create value receive their fair share.
Fighting walled gardens
Large companies create walled gardens and pull the ladder up after themselves through regulatory capture and protocol subversion. We believe in open competition, interoperability, and a more just digital world.
04WHERE TO FIND US
ROOTED IN OSLO. CONNECTED TO THE WORLD.

Small team.
Global reach.

From Oslo to Silicon Valley, we’re here to help. With people in Oslo, London, Palo Alto, and Palma, we share a drive to make better tools.
