What they say about us

It was a fantastic experience. I had doubted it would feel different from Zoom, but it was night and day. We were really productive, and felt like we had quality time with people in London...

I had a fantastic visit It felt like glimpsing a bit of a future - huge 8" X 8" portals where you could see full size versions of people in meetings. We had a call to New York. It felt connected to see people's shoes, clothes and movement as they walked around, rather than just their heads.

“To create, sell, and maintain insanely good products and services that profitably scale at attractive price points, you need great teams that innovate rapidly and collaborate appropriately. If they are not all in the office all the time, how do you achieve that? Likely not via vanilla video conferencing that provokes fatigue, crosstalk, and inhibits free flowing discussion (the sort that is valuable when ideating for example).

That’s why we invested in Noro (fka Shared Studios). Their large format portal allows free flowing conversation between people in each room, with a lifelike presence for seamless interactions. If like me you like to pace around, whiteboard, and wave your hands as you think, Noro’s got your back. And if you are someone in professional services, constantly on the road, Noro allows you to conduct more meetings more effectively, without the associated carbon footprint.”

“Apparently up to 70% of the time you are on these calls looking at yourself in that small window in the corner. I think the fact that that isn’t there with this technology and you’re really a hundred percent into the conversation focusing on people…it just removes the barrier…and the technology becomes almost invisible.”
