Boom empowers creators, freelancers, and students with free, premium async video tools and rewards them for saving time.
In the bustling world of tech startups, it’s rare to see a product that isn’t wrapped in subscription fees or endless paywalls. But what if there was a tool that turned the whole premise of “pay for premium” on its head? What if there was a product built to give time back to its users, and even reward them for using it? That’s exactly what Boom, the free forever async video platform, is doing.
Boom is not just a tool; it’s a rebellion. A statement. It’s a clear call to action against the conventional mindset that time is a resource to be controlled and taxed by corporate giants. Founder Daniel Matalon, a visionary with deep roots in the world of cinema and ad tech, wanted to solve a problem that affects nearly everyone: wasted time. After working for decades in ad tech and startups, he knew all too well how much time is lost in unproductive meetings. And when he realized that a recurring weekly meeting for a mid-sized team costs over 2,600 hours a year, he knew something had to change.
That’s when Boom was born, a free async video platform designed for creators, freelancers, students, and developers who want to communicate smarter, save time, and sound world-class. And the best part? It’s completely free, forever.
The Beginning of a Vision
Growing up in Portugal, Daniel Matalon had a unique perspective on the world. Surrounded by film sets and imbued with a love for storytelling, he learned early on that creativity could transcend boundaries. This early exposure to the world of cinema left a lasting mark on his approach to business: innovation through storytelling. After working for over 20 years in ad tech, Daniel noticed that the very tools designed to help people were often taking away their time. Whether it was endless meetings, subscription-based services, or complicated tools, he saw that technology often created more frustration than freedom.
In his career, Daniel founded Odeeo.io, a platform that pioneered audio ads in mobile gaming, and worked on multiple projects that shaped the digital advertising landscape. But it wasn’t until he calculated the true cost of a single weekly meeting that he realized just how much time could be freed up by a different approach. The numbers were staggering. In the case of a mid-sized team, 2,600 hours a year were wasted in meetings. For Daniel, this wasn’t just a problem, it was a mission to solve.
The answer? Async video. Instead of wasting time in meetings, why not record a message and send it when it’s convenient? And with AI tools to make the videos sharper, clearer, and more professional, there was no longer a need for costly studio time or high-tech equipment. Boom would give creators the tools they need, for free.
Rebellion Against Wasted Time
Boom is more than just a productivity tool; it’s a movement. It’s a rejection of the conventional wisdom that time should be sold and controlled. As Daniel puts it, “Every video recorded asynchronously isn’t just time saved, it’s time earned. With Boom, time really does equal value.” This isn’t your typical SaaS platform. Boom isn’t about locking features behind paywalls or charging per user. Instead, it gives its users full access to premium features, for free.
The beauty of Boom lies in its ability to break down barriers. With Boom, users can record their message once and have it dubbed in over 30 languages, ensuring they can reach audiences across the globe without worrying about language or accent barriers. Whether you’re a freelancer, a student, or a creator, your voice can now be heard with world-class clarity, no matter where you’re from or what language you speak.
But it doesn’t stop there. Boom rewards productivity in a way no other platform does. Each time you save time by sending an async video instead of attending a meeting, you’re not only reclaiming your hours, you’re earning meaningful incentives. Every week, Boom rewards the most productive users with real-world recognition. It’s a game-changing approach that ties the value of your time directly to tangible benefits.
The Boom Difference: Innovation and Accessibility
Boom stands out in a crowded marketplace for several reasons. While other async video platforms may charge hefty subscription fees or limit access to key features, Boom has created a model that’s built on inclusivity and innovation. Here’s what makes Boom different:
- Free Forever: Unlike competitors who lock premium features behind paywalls, Boom gives everyone full access to its best tools, forever free. No subscriptions, no hidden fees, just premium features for creators, freelancers, students, and developers.
- Dubbing Without Borders: With Boom’s language dubbing feature, users can record once and have their voice translated into over 30 languages. No more accent anxiety or language barriers, just clear, professional communication that can reach a global audience.
- Productivity Rewards: Boom is the first async video platform that recognizes and rewards users for saving time. By using the platform to save hours of meeting time, users earn meaningful incentives that reflect the value of their productivity.
- AI-Powered Video Enhancement: Boom’s AI tools don’t just edit videos, they make your message sharper, clearer, and more engaging. Whether you’re polishing your script or enhancing your video, Boom’s AI ensures you sound confident, natural, and professional.
- A Cultural Movement: At its core, Boom is more than just software, it’s a rebellion against wasted time. It’s a statement that says, “Your hours have value. Your voice has value. And you deserve world-class tools without paying a premium.” Boom’s vision is to shift the culture around time and productivity, empowering users to reclaim their hours and invest them in what truly matters.
The Future of Async Communication
Looking ahead, Boom has ambitious goals. Over the next five years, the platform aims to become the default async communication tool worldwide. Whether it’s a student in Africa, a developer in South America, or a creator in Southeast Asia, Boom is positioned to give anyone with an internet connection the ability to communicate confidently, in any language, without barriers. It’s a tool that’s not just accessible, it’s empowering.
As Daniel explains, “Boom isn’t just about providing software. It’s about creating a movement. A movement where everyone can be heard and valued, regardless of where they’re from or what language they speak. A movement where time saved is time earned.”
Boom isn’t just about saving time, it’s about making your time matter.
