Nom (Nom.com) is a live, interactive video community and app focused on food and cooking that mixes professional cooks with an open platform for anyone to produce and host their own food show. The product emphasizes live user-generated content with tools to upload and mix videos, photos and GIFs during broadcasts, a nodelay two-way chat for real-time interaction, and support for multiple cameras. Nom launched publicly after quietly building a network of contributors that includes chefs and restaurateurs such as Corey Lee, Yoon Ha, Joanne Chang, Tim Hollingsworth, Hubert Keller and Michael Tusk. The company is led by CEO Vijay Karunamurthy with YouTube cofounder Steve Chen serving as CTO. Nom operates under the parent company Nom Labs and positions itself at the intersection of live broadcasting and the popular food vertical in digital media. Financially, Nom confirmed it has raised a Series A of $4.7 million.
