Mixhalo, a San Francisco, CA-based creator of the wireless networking technology that delivers pristine, high-quality audio in real-time to attendees at live events, raised $24m in Series B funding.
The round was led by funds managed by affiliates of Fortress Investment Group, with participation from L-Acoustics, the industry leader in premium sound reinforcement and immersive technologies for live events, as well as Foundry Group, Sapphire Sport, Founders Fund, Defy Partners, and Another Planet Entertainment.
The new funding will be used to scale up all aspects of the business, from engineering and marketing to growing the team.
