The People Behind noclip.studio

We're not just tech founders. We're passionate creators ourselves. Our journey started with Ian, who has been recording his podcast, We Dig Music, for 8 years. If you've ever listened to it (please listen), you'll know it's a labor of love... and a LOT of editing.

Meanwhile, Geo has been knee-deep in audio technology since 2016, building everything from voice assistants to audio recognition systems. When he heard Ian complaining (again) about spending more time editing than recording, a lightbulb went off.

We quickly realized that podcast editing was stuck in the dark ages. Most tools were either designed for professional sound engineers with PhDs in complicated software, or they were so basic they barely did anything useful. We decided to build something simple that gives the result you want quickly.

Here's what really gets us fired up: other companies in this space don't just want your money - they want to own your content. They'll gladly take your creative work to train their AI models, then charge you for the privilege. Some even claim rights to use your content however they want. That's not just greedy - it's wrong.

That's when Mike joined the crew, bringing his startup expertise and "why make things complicated?" attitude. Together, we decided to build something different: a tool that delivers 100% value where users pick only the features they need, and where your content stays yours. Period.

Sure, it's more complicated for us to build - but it makes your life dramatically simpler. And that's a trade-off we're happy to make.
