About Us

Our company story is unusual, in an exciting way — we’re trailblazers with a passion for emerging technologies.

Given the massive opportunity to capitalize on High Fidelity’s core audio capabilities to power voice communication for thousands of apps and games, the company now focuses solely on audio technology. Today we’re a well-capitalized startup building next-generation spatial audio solutions that make the apps people use every day more engaging and delightful by delivering the most immersive and natural sound experience. Our Spatial Audio technology is currently used by tens of millions of people a week in applications like Clubhouse, Vatom, and Breakroom.tech. Our small but mighty team comprises seasoned-startup veterans, including audio engineers and streaming media pioneers, who have deep expertise in immersive audio.
