Entrepreneur in Residence

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.

Wondering what it's like to work here? We made a reel about it!

Are you as excited about mute-labs as we are? Then we are looking forward to getting to know you!

At Berlin Acoustics, we're reshaping the way people experience sound and silence in the workplace. We bring design, performance, and sustainability together to create spaces where people can thrive. Having built a strong foundation in core markets, we’re now entering a new chapter and we’re growing fast across Europe and beyond.
