We are extremely humble, grateful and happy for being named Startup of the Year at 

This recognition means the world to us! 🙌

Anyone building a startup knows the journey isn’t easy. It’s long days, late nights, and early mornings. Your company is the last thing on your mind before sleep—and often the reason you're awake in the middle of the night. It's relentless, it's hard—but it's also deeply rewarding. For every no, there’s the occasional yes that fuels the drive to keep going.

We could write a book about it—but the truth is, we wouldn’t want to be doing anything else. We are fully committed to building this company with the global ambition we believe in.

A heartfelt thanks to everyone who’s supporting us—venues, festivals, organisers, our audience, investors, friends, family, and all the amazing people we meet along the way, and of course also the jury at MTCB.

We’re also excited to share that we’ll be heading to Los Angeles this November to attend one of the world’s leading music tech events: 

. As part of the award, Innovation Norway is granting us tickets to the event. We’ll also have our own stand and gain extra presence and visibility throughout the conference.

We are named startup of the year 2025 at Music Tech Conference Bergen!

Yay! We just dropped version 1.12.0 of our 

 right now. The main attraction of this release is a double headliner as we roll out two of the most recently requested features… 

Your events now enjoy enhanced visibility with our expanded search capabilities.

Users can now search across both festivals and events simultaneously.

Artist and genre searches return comprehensive results from Norway or your selected region.

Festival-specific searches provide direct access to complete lineups in the related Festival App.

These improvements mean that your events have greater visibility regardless of whether they're part of a festival or standalone shows, and we managed to do all of this, whilst still keeping the fast and snappy feel that users have come to know and love.

Getting the word out about your events is now easier than ever for Broadcast users:

Direct integration with Facebook, BlueSky, Threads, and WhatsApp.

Rich visual previews appear automatically when users share your events.

One-tap sharing functionality increases the likelihood of social shares.

As before, the default sharing options remain available for all platforms.

With these enhanced sharing tools, your events can reach broader audiences through more engaging social content, removing obstacles and embracing new platforms.

We have also introduced a map-based venue discovery highlighting today's events, so that you can see what is going on around you right now. 

These updates create new opportunities for audiences to discover your events. With cross-platform search and improved sharing, the events gain additional exposure without any additional effort on the organizers part.

Now that sharing and search are at the level we want, we are turning our attention to other ways to highlight your content to App users.

Lots of new fun stuff in the App!

We are expanding to cover music events in even more Norwegian cities! This time it is Arendal, Bø, Drammen, Kristiansund and Larvik that are added to the list of regions in our platform. 

If you miss having Broadcast in your region or city then please reach out to us!
