Come join us at Mixhalo! We are an augmented audio start-up co-founded by guitarist Mike Einziger, and violinist Ann-Marie Simpson, and run by serial entrepreneur and veteran product executive, John Vars. We build wireless solutions for real-time data delivery at live events. Starting first in the music industry, we have built a platform to allow concert-goers to stream live audio at studio quality, directly from the soundboard just as the musicians do on stage (as opposed to blasted over huge speakers into the open air). We have so far partnered with incredible acts like Sting, Metallica, Aerosmith, Pharell, and Charlie Puth, among others. We have leveraged the same technology to make multiple channels of real-time play-by-play commentary available through partnerships with the Buffalo Sabres, Sacramento Kings, the Los Angeles Football Club, and others.

Our Values, The Mixhalo P.A.C.T.
- Passion. We know in order to change the world of live events it’s going to take something extra, something deeper than just doing your job, we believe this is #passion. You have some deep passion for what we do, whether it’s marketing, sports, music, technology, startups, or something else, we believe this is critical to high performance and our collective success
- Ambition. We are changing the way the world experiences live events. We want to build a big influential company with a positive impact. How can we go faster, bigger, better? You’ll need to think big and push the boundaries
- Continuous improvement. We strive to get better each and every day. Learning and self reflection are super important. This takes courage and awareness and vulnerability. We are never done mastering our craft and improving the way we work
- Teamwork. Perhaps every company has some form of this in their values, but for us these are not saccharin posters on the wall. Our team is really special and we are going to keep it that way. We believe in assuming best intentions, having each others’ backs, and empathy. No one is above any job and we all roll up our sleeves to help. Yet we also know that being a true teammate means we hold each other accountable, we don’t shy away from difficult conversations. We are always kind but we will challenge each other. Feedback is a gift and a duty.
