Four builders on a mission to make personalized neural audio the default way humans focus, sleep, and unwind.
Founder & CEO
Came up with SmartSound in November 2025 and built it end-to-end — from the neuroscience research and adaptive audio engine to the app, the website, and the product roadmap.
Co-founder & Engineering
Joined Aarav early to help build SmartSound. Contributes to the app and website codebase and supports the technical architecture behind the adaptive audio system.
Co-founder & Growth
Runs the human side of SmartSound — leading user research surveys, coordinating the beta tester program, and driving in-person marketing efforts on the ground.
Co-founder & Contributor
Joined the team through the founding program and contributes product tweaks, polish, and meaningful input into the SmartSound roadmap and pitch materials.
November 2025
Aarav came up with SmartSound — a personalized neural audio engine that adapts to the listener's brain — and started building the first prototype, the research foundation, and the product roadmap.
Shortly after
Aarav brought on Rishi to help accelerate engineering across the app and website.
The program
Through a founder program, Dane joined to lead user research, beta testing, and in-person marketing, and Allan came on to contribute product tweaks. The four-person team has been building SmartSound together since.
