“2020 has been our biggest year yet: by Q2 we’d tripled subscriber numbers year on year and hit record revenue in every area of the business, noted CEO Jeff Kofman. We soon realized that we needed the right leadership in the company to support growth of this scale. Both Odhrán and Graham and have experience scaling teams and building efficient, agile delivery. Not only are we adding fantastic new talent to our team but we’ve also created a really powerful recruiting and onboarding engine all over Zoom.”

"A huge part of the year for us and so exciting to see some amazing companies debuting, with others continuing to grow and excel."
“We are really excited to have The New York Times and Edge joining our investment team, said Jeff Kofman, CEO and Founder of Trint and an Emmy-winning broadcast journalist and war correspondent. Over the last year Trint has evolved from startup to scaleup and we know it’s critical to have professional investors helping us navigate through an exciting but complex high-growth phase. The breadth and depth of their expertise, as well as their networks in the sector, will really help us grow Trint in 2021 and beyond.”
“Edge backs founders with purpose, and Emmy-winning former journalist and war correspondent Jeff Kofman is definitely a founder with a clear mission, said David Glick, CEO and Founder of Edge Investments. Seeing people transcribing interviews, speeches and news conferences in the 21st century the same archaic way journalists did in the 1970s, he realized that artificial intelligence (A.I.) and speech-to-text could do the heavy lifting of transcription. Spanning video, audio and the written word, Trint is a truly modern company solving a decades-old problem, and is poised to dominate its category.”
"I don't endorse many products - but not many help journalists like Trint. Transcribes video. Load it up- sit back, jaw-dropping."
“Trint has already struck a chord with thousands of users looking to work seamlessly across audio, video and text, Matthew Lloyd-Thomas, Senior Manager of M&A and Investments at The New York Times Company, said. Audio and video are increasingly important mediums, and we’re excited to see Trint play a leading role in this evolving ecosystem.”
“It’s both humbling and exciting to have the most respected name in journalism join us. As a software tool for storytellers there couldn’t be a better match, said Jeff Kofman, CEO and Founder. Kofman, an Emmy-winning war correspondent, created Trint based on his 30 year reporting career with ABC, CBS and CBC News. We understand the need to find more efficient ways to work seamlessly across text, audio and video, and so does The New York Times Company. We’re excited to have The Times Company working with us as we define the new tools of the future for individuals and enterprise.”
"With Trint, we have four different use cases for how we're using the exact same platform, for every single podcast we produce."
"Michael worked for 8+ years as a manual transcriber in the US and UK before building an in-house transcription department for a mobile-to-web software company. He then moved to content marketing, followed by digital marketing. Michael loves to write about emerging technology, digital trends and the ways technology makes our lives easier."
"Even a 20-minute interview takes up to two hours to manually transcribe and with 3-5 interviews per story, Trint is a huge timesaver."
"Manual transcription was taking around 4-5 hours per item on average. Trint can do that - and with more accuracy - in less than 20 minutes."
"Trint is a really exciting product and one everybody should be thinking about adopting in their newsrooms in one way or another."
"I just tried my first Trint transcript - it's flawless 23 minute interview back in 2 minutes. WOW."
