Get IN. with Nate SpangleAbout this episode
The average courtside ticket to an NBA game is priced at around $2,000, as reported by Sportskeeda . While this might not pose a significant hurdle for the typical celebrity or CEO, it often places that premium experience out of reach for the average sports fan. However, Valterri Salomaki and the innovative team at Edge Sound Research are using the power of vibrations and patent-pending technology to replicate that premium experience, regardless of where your seat may be. Valtteri Salomaki is the CEO and Co-Founder of Edge Sound Research, a company that's bringing realism to sound experiences via vibration. Edge Sound Research has been making some serious noise over the past couple of years. They've been a part of the Minnesota Twins Accelerator, powered by Techstars, participated in the NBA Launchpad program, and even secured a win at the Rally IN-Prize pitch competition.
