ABOUT US

Here at mute-labs & Berlin Acoustics, we aim to enable companies to achieve more by democratizing silence in the workspace. And we’re not like any other Berlin start-up you might know:

• We’re “no tech” : We know how to develop and sell great hardware products with a focus on sound-insulated phone- and meeting booths .
• We have no investors and we really don’t want any. We've been profitable since day one.
• We continue to have a steep growth curve – not in employees or coffee cups consumed, but in revenue and profit.
• We’re not striving for an exit – we’re building a sustainable business for many generations to come.
