Who are IRIS?
IRIS is the world’s most advanced audio technology company. Forged in the flames of the Formula 1 pit lane, our scientifically-proven SaaS solutions are designed to reconnect humans and audio.
Driven by our patented AI algorithms IRIS places audio at the centre of all digital experiences, because whilst we can see visuals, we feel audio - so we create solutions that enable this.
Jacobi Anstruther, IRIS Founder & CEO
Sound enhances every emotion and shapes every experience. In the best cases, it uplifts and moves us. In the worst, it frustrates and harms us. Through our deep understanding of the science of sound, IRIS helps people find focus, engagement, and wellbeing wherever they listen — and that’s pretty much everywhere.
