01 / The Story
I'm Joachim Haraldsen, a Norwegian creator and founder living in Seoul. Gaming brought me to YouTube. It grew into a career in content and company building.
I started Noobwork on YouTube in 2013. The channel grew to 195,000+ subscribers.
I later founded Omaken, which acquired Heroic and became Heroic Group. That took me into esports, running a company and building teams across borders. Read the Forbes profile from 2022 ↗
