Why latakoo

latakoo was born out of frustration by journalists in 2010 who knew there had to be a better way. As former reporters, Paul Adrian and Jade Kurian lived the struggles of complex workflows that slowed down news delivery. From field editing to compression and file transfer, every step was a race against the clock. They wished for a tool that could simplify the process and speed up the work. So, they built one.

Today, latakoo is more than fast and secure file transfers – it’s a complete workflow solution and cloud-based media asset manager. Journalists can send video files from anywhere, at any time, regardless of bandwidth or file size. The platform enables seamless collaboration, automatic transcription, captions, and translations—all in real-time. While your competitors are stuck waiting for uploads, you’re breaking the story.

Based in Austin, Texas, latakoo is the fastest, easiest, and most secure way to transfer content and work with your team. It’s everything Adrian and Kurian wished for back then, and everything you need right now.
