2. It all began…
…one summer afternoon when Rickard
Riblom was driving the car with a friend.
The radio was playing Tom Waits’ “Hold
on”.
“I love this song!” Rickard exclaimed
wishing he could hear the song one
more time.
This sowed the idea that would later
become the PopCatcher technology –
separating music from talk and
commercials and recording the music. The
company PopCatcher AB was founded by
Rickard and his brother Jakob in 2000. The
technology was patented and the
development began of the first software.
The first steps to become a full scale
licensing company were taken. Since then
the market has been tested with products
released in Europe.
From the initial time
of research until
now, PopCatcher has
been awarded fine prizes for its products and
technologies. Today we are a small team of
engineers and sales people based in the Old
Town of Stockholm. We also have partners
with field application engineers in China for
product development. There are more
products coming up from licensing partners
and we continuously work with partners for
more products to hit the market. Our patents
cover the main parts of the world and we work
global with small manufacturers in China as
well as very big global brands in Europe and
USA. Not only have we received some very
nice awards but also a lot of attention from
media. We love what we do and we are
convinced we look at a very bright future!
