Streaming Platform Noice to Shut Down

Oh man, let me tell you about this wild ride with Noice. So, turns out this Finnish live-streaming place is throwing in the towel. Yeah, saw something about it on LinkedIn — or maybe it was GI.biz? Doesn’t matter. Anyway, their CEO, Tuomas Rinta, had this heart-to-heart with the team. Like, earlier this week he broke the news that they’re closing shop. Kinda tough scene, right?

They pulled in like $21 million just this year, which sounds massive. But guess what? They couldn’t nab more funds. The market’s like, super tight or something. It’s not like they weren’t expecting it, though. Sounds like everyone there had been chatting about how rough things are with getting investors. Still, kinda hoped for a miracle, you know? Hoping against hope, maybe.

Tuomas talked about his journey with Noice. Not as long as some of the OGs there who’d been at it for five years — building something fresh, bold, out-of-the-box. I mean, props to them for trying, right?

Ah, and then he went on about the emotional rollercoaster everyone’s on — disappointment, frustration… yeah, losing your gig in this market is nerve-wracking. I’m guessing it’s one of those ‘ugh’ moments. But he wanted them all to find this little sparkle of pride from what they created once they get over the downer. Like, looking back and seeing the magic instead of the mess.

And here I am, just musing about it. Makes you wonder, huh?
