A code-first world_

We build software that empowers human decision making and frees up time to think. Novem help companies across Europe make sense of the world and act in time.

Our mission_

To streamline human-machine interaction, and provide critical insights any time, any place, any device.

We think humans are unique in their ability to synthesize discrete information and see the big picture. However, our attention is under constant attack, from companies fighting over our eyeballs, to software taking more time setting up than solving problems.

We build software that puts people first, that uses smart data and machine learning to deal with the details, so you can focus on what matters.

Our values_

We're building a sustainable company through open standards, internet privacy and fair wages. Here's what drives us every day.

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-sovling.
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.
