Serato. As name-dropped by Kanye
At any given moment, Serato features in the top ten music charts globally. Their products have changed the face of music and have been name-dropped by none other than Kanye West. Music lovers around the world have been using Serato’s audio software since 1999. It’s a name known internationally and a product used by some of the best musicians around the world. It sparked from an idea in New Zealand to help people make the music they love more easily. Now they have a community of millions of DJs, producers, engineers and musicians across 190 countries.

Narrative. Giving photographers less screen-time and more lens-time
With digital cameras photographers can take hundreds of shots in just a few minutes. But looking through them all for the perfect shot can take days. The average professional photographer spends four days behind a computer for every one day behind the camera. Kiwi company Narrative didn’t think that was right, and developed AI software that helps weed out images that just won’t work. This gives photographers more time to spend doing what they love – taking photos and creating memories, and less time behind a computer.
